    I think you are talking about GantonGunner, one of the admin team, certainly knows his stuff with this type of thing. Phil

    I knew you would be the one who got it Si, a walnut stocked Wildcat in fact. Phil

    I don't think you had much option anyway Sean Phil

    Rapid is taken care of when my FAC comes through so it is not that and not a Daystate.......no no no

    Love that Jon, love it. I have been offered a swap for............................another gun but not sure yet. Still pondering but it is a gun I really want. Phil

    The woodies have not really taken off over here Mark, very very patchy, even difficult to know what the hell they are feeding on to be honest. Fresh cut corn, great stubble, loads in a morning then gone and not to return, just getting the timing has proved very difficult. Glad you have done okay though mate. Phil

    I said earlier possibly the HW100KT...............................retract that, something is brewing Phil

    I will have to stay on my own somewhere while you chaps are out drinking, can't hold my drink and would like to be able to hit within 3 feet of the target next day at least but I suppose I could have a 'SHANDY' Phil

    What about targets, I am guessing nobody has a load of HFT targets in their sheds. Davy or Si might be a good contact for that gear and there used to be an HFT club/group somewhere between Hull and Scarborough which was shut down because they had to take down the targets after every meet, so that might be a route to follow if we need to as I am thinking the person who ran the club must still have a load of targets.

    Quote:- army style boot camps for the keep fit massive, it would be a great place to have it!! you could crawl through the trenches under the barbed wire and take your shots. Just to let you know well in advance matey..................................I am built for comfort not fcuking barbed wire and trenches but I will give out the cups of tea after watching you BOYS rip the arse out of your trousers in the trenches.

    I will just for moment go back to topic and say if I can help with a meet in some way, just let me know. If a venue proves tricky, I can have words at an international clay shooting club that my wife and I are members as there is some land that could be used based near Beverley, East Yorks. http://www.beverleyctc.co.uk/ Please don't take it as read that I can get the use of this venue but simply that I will make enquiries if land becomes a problem.

    If you decide to hold a meet up there, I am in. Phil

    Pleased to hear you had a good weekend boys, pity the weather was not so kind. There is always another time though My perm is so dry, I can walk around in flip flops, not that I do however. Phil

    Trouble is clay shooting is totally different kettle of fish to airgun . you are not really walking around the countryside trying to be silent , a low profile and blending in with the surroundings around you on a nice quiet day , instead you are standing there with a few other guns all going BANG ,BANG ,they can never just let one cartridge go they must let both barrels go , i hate bang bang guns and i use to shoot them as well I agree Mitch, it is totally different and cannot be compared but both have great appeal to me. I have shot clays for over 40 years at local clubs and national

    I can only agree with you Rez, what a stunner. Phil

    You have hit the nail on the head Jimmy, just what I had in mind. Great minds think alike matey. I am going to make the other stock into a finished gun as well so they can both stand in the fireplace next to the log burner, a fitting place to show his work. Phil

    Nice to hear of your new toy, I have to say that I don't understand how a parent could just leave their children with no further contact, that simply beats the hell out of me. Phil

    I have been lucky with my kids. My son loved shooting air rifles and spent hundreds of hours in out cellar target range and loading 12 gauge cartridges with me in the days when it was much cheaper to load your own. My oldest daughter was like my shadow, whatever I did, she did and became a cracking little sea angler but not shooting although she does enjoy a good plinking session with my son in law and myself, she is a better shot than my son in law if I am being honest. My youngest daughter loves nature so not keen on me shooting live quarry but she loves fishing when I take her which

    An old chap in our village sadly died a few weeks ago, in fact the grandfather of someone I know. In years gone by Jeff was a keen wildfowler, pigeon shooter and dog trainer leaving a few sacks of bits and bobs which were offered to me rather than throwing them in the skip. I readily accepted whatever was to come....................today, four sacks arrived, 10 floating, weighted duck decoys with tethering lines still attached, shell and whole pigeon decoys, an old canvas wildfowler's game bag, which I love and will make full use of and a pile of various weighted dog training dummies but a

    I have not reached that point with air rifles yet, maybe the HW100, not sure but after almost 50 years with shotguns, my Beretta DT10 32'' sporter will be going nowhere. Phil

    I am a few years older than some or most of you ......okay quite a few years older alright.....and when I was a kid we all wanted a gun of some sort which usually started with a pea shooter or catapult or spud gun but whichever we progressed to AIR GUNS, in my case a GAT pistol then the Meteor etc etc but now kids don't want to be in fresh air, climbing trees and shooting, well almost anything, they like to be curled up in a comfortable chair texting whilst playing electronic games..................sad, fcuking sad in my book.
