I was in touch with Mitch today and he wanted me to pass on his best regards to you guys and to have a great Xmas, Mitch will be in France with his extended family no doubt sampling the best of French food and wine. Phil

Part two, as I am not able to load it iin one piece. A few of you know I am a keen sea angler and after 35 years using multiplier reels, a major change in that area for me as I have sold all my reels reverting to fixed spool reels, Daiwa Emblem 45 if that means anything to you. I am a casting instructor for Sea Angler magazine and more and more guys are coming for a coaching session using fixed spool reels and after some serious testing, I can clear 170mt and no possible risk of issues at night so I have converted to the dark side. I have had a visit or two from a rat or rats in the

Let's try again It's a bit bloody quiet on here at the moment boys so get your arses into gear and lets have some articles please....... Jimmy, John, Jim you lads not only have the letter 'J' starting your name but also usually pretty active. Right I will have a go........... A short while ago I said that I had sold my fac guns which I did with the possible intention of handing in my fac ticket HOWEVER with the possible motion to make all section 2 shotguns reclassed to fac section 1 which is really crazy BUT perhaps I need to keep my fac ticket in case this pointless action d

I have been playing around with the Zulus and while I am not very good with new technology, I really like this, very easy to use. I will give myself a little more time then I will do a review. Phil

I have just bought the Zulus HD 5-20x from my buddy as he has upgraded to the one with a range finder and balistic calculator built in. Just spent a couple of hours today learning the one shot method of zeroing which I will do tomorrow also finding my way around the menu looking at the different functions and I must say it is quite straight forward although I think once I have stopped 'playing' with it, I think I will forget a lot but there again I am not bothered about much of the functions. On this model, I have six zero setting for different distances which will be more than enough for my s

Thank you for that.

I was looking for a cheaper screen type nv for a friend of mine who is getting quite a few rats in his garden and this jumped out on me. For the money and shorter range (I am guessing) this unit is fantastic value for money at a few pence less than £90 and I may get one as a back up unit, I did have a similar nv viewer that a pal made using the same kit but with a full lens on the front and I could pick rabbits eyes at 85mt.

I have posted this subject with quite a bit more detail so if you also own shotguns or have applied for a shotgun certificate or even thinking of applying, please go over to 'Rimfire, centrefire and shotgun' section and read up on this shocking issue. The main issue being proposed by the government is that shotguns will become section 1 firearms. Phil
-
I am sure some of you will be aware that this government is pushing toward a complete change from a section 2 shotgun certificate over to a section 1 fac. At this stage we do not know how this will work out but there are many organisations, clubs, shooting grounds, gun trade and certificate holders contacting by email or letter their MP to lodge an 'sensible and feasible' reason not to accept this from happening. There are over half a million shotgun certificate holders in this country so when you consider that only 12,000 people lodged an objection to the proposed lead ban, the governme

Did you buy the screen type of NV you posted a few months ago and if so what did you think of it as my pal is looking for a screen types of NV to shoot some rats in his garden.
-
It's using very small batteries, similar to what I use in my bite alarms so a supply of those and a charger will be needed I think.

Looks interesting but will it be good enough to hunt with.

He is a lucky lad to have you Jimmy and yes I tend to agree his face at Christmas will be a picture.

No not the pop group. I was recently asked to get stuck in on a rather large rabbit warren, now this was not expected because I have had this perm for the past 4 years but it is a total stop whilst the game season is on. This year after getting the request to get back onto the bunnies, a chat with the game keeper was needed and I fully expected to be told in no uncertain terms to bugger off until March as usual however this time I got the word to get stuck in......................... Last week it was a full moon which I find to be usless for night shooting so leave it to this week.

You are quite right Jimmy but she may have to sit with a gun or two on her lap.

The best of us come out of Sheffield. Good luck in your search. Phil

That is a serious bargain, well done that man. I am taking my grandson to one of the archery dealers on Saturday as he is having a junior compound bow for xmas so we are getting it set up for him and get a set of arrows cut to size and points fitted. I knew this was going to cost me............................

Yes I see where you are based, I don't know of any near you, south yorks and north lincs is my turf and I have not had a jab to get me into Derbyshire..................... A good one in Doncaster but still a run for you, try one of the local rfd shops, I think there is one at Lichfield who may be able to put you onto a range. I have just over 10,000 acres but North Lincs is even further for you to travel. This may be some good, Derbyshire Air Rifle Club - BASC BASC.ORG.UK Phil

Not sure if this is still available in hard copy or online but there used to be a publication called 'The shooting clubs directory' which I found to be a great place to find phone numbers, address and what type of shooting was on offer. Worth a try. Phil

I don't know how mine would compare but I bought a pair of Wildcat Panther mods, one for the .22lr/WMR and one for the HMR. On the .22, performance is better than the HMR however I was quite pleased with it.

Just a thought, Blackpool Airguns are exclusive airgun dealers so well worth trying.
