    hi all just build a ladder trap bout 10' by 6' put the high peaks in and a ladder with the 2 long pieces 12" apart and the rungs 5" apart. i have watched jackdaws drop in, eat and then fly upside down onto the rungs and then do a wee pull-up and off they go. what is my design fault? do i need curtains and if so how wide? how far down? (target species jacks, rooks then later i would like to bait it with rabbit for hoodies) any help would be great thanks tone

    ecellent news for your lad and well done PE teacher. Just a pity that the Head teacher doesnt understand the difference between responsible shooters/gun owners and illeagle thugs weilding guns in the street. never mind, happy shooting tone

    hello all. im in scotland and i needed to get a variation on my fac before my local gun dealer would sell me a moderator(.22LR) i got this done and bought the mod. then i got a variation for a 223 with mod, i got this and everything seemd fine. about 1 month later the police firearms dept in glasgow called me up and asked me if i had bought a mod for my 22. i said yes and they then became very unhappy that i hadint informed them about the purchase(make model date). i wrongly thought that the variation was the end of it. SO basically they treat a moderator like a seperate firearm. my mate got

    interesting about reducing the muzzel boom, that would be good. maybe my mates moderator is just a bit cheap and nasty. i suppose if the shooting experience is made sweeter then a good moderator might be worth thinking about. cheers tone

    i have no problem with the militery lookalike guns, it all comes down to personal taste. i prefer the walnut and a blued barrel while i know guys who would go for the military type. do some of these guns blast of a fast rate of fire? i think it would be a bit expensive chucking loads of shots at a rabbit, if they do and you enjoy doing that, then i think you probably have more enjoyment out of using the weapon , rather than the hunting side of things. fair enough all the best tone

    hi was out with a couple of ma shooting buddies not that long ago firing at a target. 1 has a 223 remington without a silencer and the other has a tikka 223 with a great big moderator on it. when i was standing next to them there was hardly any difference in the noise they were both unbeliveably loud. i was a bit dissapointed because i had just ordered a new cz 223 and got the barrel screw cut, waste of 70 quid i recon. I definately wont be putting a moderator on mine. since then i have got my cz223 and if i am shooting next to a bank of earth or a hedge etc ma ears a ringing. cheers tone

    evening all just put a 8x56 S&B onto my new CZ223 and trying to Zero. Quite dissapointed in the scope instruction booklet how much does 1 click of the dial adjust my fire?? still 9" to the left and dont want to waste tons of bullets. my target is 120yds. as always.... any help would be good thanks tone

    hello all, would some one please explain to me bullet/ammunition weights? ive always used a .22lr and just bought the regular winchester sub/son it says on the box 40gr. Is this the weight of the bullet head/the bit that hits the target OR is this the weight of the powder. I have just got a 223 cz and going to be getting ammo for hoodies at 200yds so what do i look for?. i have been reading so many shooting mags that i have totaly confused myself. cheers tone

    as previously said get a fenn inside a length of pipe. but try sticking it along the top of the garden parallel with the fence, close to the shed. i dont think you should have it along side the shed because ratty has already reached home/safety. get it a bit away and he will like this extra cover on his comuting to and fro. THEY LOVE PIPES . i have two pipes(8inch diam & 10 ft long) near my silage pit, traps set all year, they constantly catch. good luck tone

    hi mike, i applied for my fac/ posted it off on the 23rd feb; got the visit from a sergent on the 16th march and the fac arrived in the post on the 28th march(co terminus .22 & .223) Strathclyde police, west coast scotland. my mate who lives down the road got his visit about a month after posting. but then took a further 2 months until the sergent came and hand delivered his fac. he however was poorly advised to put down 5 different calibres .223/.22-250/.243/204ruger etc, but the sergent sorted all this out on his first visit and he went for .223 only. i think it probably depends on how

    alimac, read my message again. WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT 1981: LICENCE TO KILL RAVENS. issued in the pursuance of section 16(1)(k). in laymans terms this allows me to shoot or trap 3 adult ravens. im a farmer and applied for this through the department of agriculture. i first of all have to prove that i have a raven problem, then the dept' of ag contact my local SNH office and they decide my bag limit. i just came on here with a request for some help and i know that ravens are protected that is why i mentioned the fact that i have a licence to kill 3. every days a school day! cheers

    cheers woz do you think 8x56 is over doing it a bit? maybe a 6x42 will do the job?

    This isn't a very constructive answer as I've never seen a hooded crow or a raven , but I had no idea that the killed lambs. hi netter. yup they are both killers of lambs. biggest problem is when a ewe has twins or tripplets. when the first lamb is just born and the ewe lies down to push lamb number 2 out then the raven is there ready to get to work on the first lamb peck the eyes, navel, anus and tongue out of the poor wee lamb. horrible death, i have had to destoy a few lambs that have no eyes or no tounge. i hate these birds. i have read that ravens are the most highly evolved and intel

    great post today got my FAC with the .223 on it. so thinking of getting a CZ rifle and a schmidit and bender 8x56. going to try and kill corvids at around 200yds. seen in the mags the rifle for about £445 and the scope for £380. hungarian assembled. is this a decent scope?? what do you think of my rifle/scope combination? look out hoodies no more lambs for breakfast!!

    hi, bit of advice please. i have a problem with hoodies and ravens killing new born lambs. the ravens are the main offenders! i dont want to waste time making a trap if a raven wont go into one. someone told me that a raven will never go into a trap. is this true? any views or ideas welcome. the good news is that i have just recieved a variation for a .223 so i can always try some long range shots now... my .22 aint got the legs. p.s. just incase your wondering i have a licence from the dept' of agri to shoot or trap 3 ravens. thanks tone
