Might just go with cheaper wax jacket then...
-
All I know atm is that its low ground, most likely driving pheasants.
-
I also love this jacket but its more shooter than beater and twice the price of the monsoon or ventau.
-
For beating, picker up which is best, they seem similar to me with good review. This video is what has me interested in the Shooterking as its quite a rouged test for which it did very well. But there hasnt a bad word online for the monsoon either. I prefer jacket over smock.

Commercialised deer stalking Scottish highlands
Stone14 replied to Stone14's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
I plan on doing the dsc 1&2 anyway. Also heard from some that they got an open ticket for deer on their FAC licence when they had completed these courses pre-licence application. -
Commercialised deer stalking Scottish highlands
Stone14 replied to Stone14's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
Yeah I've checked some places out they charge you £100 per bullet shot plus charged by the size of deer you take, plus guide fees or tips id assume. Seems excessive considering we are told recreational hunters aren't doing enough to tackle the population problem. Maybe if it wasn't around £1000 per bloody stag people might shoot more. -
Eye dominance effects accuracy, fact or fiction?
Stone14 replied to Stone14's topic in Clay Shooting
I thought i was right eye dominant last night when doing my own though up test, this video here confirm's it. Only right eye open, the coin stays in the triangle, only left eye open and the coin is gone only the green instructions are visible. Maybe abit tw@tful since I'm left handed. -
Whats your opinion on it? Yes it seems humans have a subconscious dominant favorable eye but does it really effect your shot? Some say it doesn't, and the methods used to counter this myth (ie closing one eye) makes you a bad shot...

Yeah I watched a YT testing different pellets (not with the walther) 9 brands hit around 10.5-10.8 and the Exact Diablo hit 11.5. Alot of pellet reviews shows Exact Diablo as a top performer.
-
I thought it would he good to go as its the manufacturers declaration?
-
What you got? And anyone got a Walther Reign? Looks to be the most powerful sub on the market at 11.95ft/lb, and its bullpup..
-
Yeah I'm thinking a nice black lab.

Taking 12g shotgun cartridges as an example, 28gr/1oz, looks to work out around £70-80 for enough powder (1lb), primers and steel shot to make 250 (plastics you can reuse to a point). Given that the cheaper factory ammo slab is around £55-60 and the top end stuff over £100, where do you find your reloads fit in interms of performance and value? Are they better than the cheap stuff? Is price on par with factory ammo or better? Also for rifle rounds, ive read reloads are typically more accurate at longer ranges, but more accurate than what? The cheapest? The best factory ammo? Where do you

Also, do gundog rescue centres allow you to rehome one for working purposes? Or are they generally against it? I'm just wondering if there could be good finds in these rescue centres. Over the prices ive seen for 2yr old pretrained dogs being £6k+ at specific training centres..
-
What breed? What price? Pre-trained, paid-trained, or you-trained? Did you pick a specific working pedigree line, or just picked the breed not specifically from a working line?
-
Its more intended for halfwit sab and other anti types trespassing to harass, intimidate and intimidate folk on their own land.
-
I love the GSP but read that they can have issues with separation anxiety when left alone due to their bond with the owner? I know any dog could devop this but it seems from what I hear it can be a more likely issue with them?
-
I've had dogs and bred dogs for years, but never working dogs. I now want a gun dog for retrieving but that also has a good nose for deer stalking. Will any gundog retreiver, hound, or spaniel do? How did you pick your chosen breed out of the many?
-
It seems the reason against the petition here is because you won't be free to be on someone else's property against the property owners will. Fair on lol. I wonder if you'd be happy for people to tresspass your home/ property against your will because your door was left open... I guess the 'buts' will soon follow that.

This was shared by the Field Sports Channel. For your benefit. 'Boris Johnson, change tresspass laws from civil to criminal. This is to protect against the likes of sab harassment which many landowners and hunters have to put up with.

What do you prefer and why? Personally I'm leaving towards the 177 due to longer accuracy and surrounding vermin don't react to the sound. But the price of ammo is x5 that of 22 ammo. As many have said its unlikely to get a first licence above a 22, I'm Wondering if an airgun and a 177 would be better for rats upto fox (on a calm night) close range exploding head shots, over a 22, as I'm seeing plenty on YouTube take out the fox on a .177 due to the accuracy of it over a 22. Tim pilbeam over at feildsports suggests that head shooting a fox with a 177rim is acceptable on a calm night

Where do you go shooting in either UK or Ireland? Where do you think is best? How much did/ do you pay or how much do you expect to pay? Is the process of getting your guns and into Ireland and attaining a licence in ire difficult or straight forward?
-
Yeh id be using FAC firearms, I just assumed everyone used firearms in this forum. Thanks for the headsup. Still in learning mode so I'm prepared as far as possible.
-
Anyone got one, used one, are they worth the £500 tag? Watching reviews on feildsports channel, they're hitting moving deer but surely that's only possible from a select few that are shit hot shooters to hit the kill zone with it? Not the average shooter. Has the acro changed how you hunt, your scope setup etc, ie sticking on a long range scope with an acro, over a short to mid range scope by itself. Does the acro widen your range this way? Or is it just a pistol gimmick?.
