  1. It was -2c yesterday so if that had something in it I don't know, thought it would have been better, very still and thick air, also helped keep the barrel and mod cool
  2. I mean I have only done a paper test, your method I will try. I did look for any rub marks on the gubbbings while the stock was off, nothing! Yeah but I was out yesterday, only been 46mph max so still doable, we don't count it windy till it's above a 100mph
  3. I mean it is cheap an cheerfull, but I expect more from Browning.
  4. Yeah great idea, I've only done the paper test and felt no snags?? It's a https://www.grahamsofinverness.co.uk/product/a-bolt-iii-composite-stalker-black-syntheticblue-centrefire-rifle
  5. Bets are Its Diane Abbot, she may need her toes to count up the votes though ?
  6. You've talked yourself into a job, just packaging it up now, in the post winging its way too ya tomorrow ?
  7. Yeah It's probably just my loads need tweeking, but I have to try it before it gets wrapped around a rock ?
  8. After @si brown posted the other day, having a blast in a quarry, I decided to head out the moor with the AB3 in .308. Now I've moved on to REACH compliant powder a while ago, so decided to have a range test, I decided on a load of 44.5gn N140, Sierra 150gn spitzers (#2130), cci primer and starline twice fired case a bit ago, they were giving me 1.5" groupings at 100 yards, so quite happy. I'd not however had much chance to go beyond 200 yards through pure bone idleness to be frank ( I know my names Gav, but don't get confused just yet ?). Anyways, I set up marks at 100yds, 200yds, 3

    Recurve bows

    Yeah bleach depleats oxygen so they float and pipe bombs stun them, they float too, just scoop em out with a net. Wouldn't do pipe bombs near a public place though ?

    Thats just england an wales, good job I live in Scotland then, I use otterboard, nets, bleach and pipe bombs ? I think you have to pay to use a fishing rod too in the UK huh, thank allah we dont here? I've emptied lochs here on the roadside using the otterboard and no one batts an eye, its a cracking bit of kit.

    Now I've looked into this, Bow hunting is illegal as we all know, Bow fishing isn't mentioned in this law, so I think its how you interpret it? As it only states "bow hunting", so are hunting and fishing different? I'd say so, but that's my opinion and I've been wrong so many times before, ce la vie. Not forgetting its still legal to shoot a Scotsman carrying a bow in York excluding Sunday, so I'll leave mine at home if I ever visit York ?

  13. That took me back to the ole Rodney Carrington days ? he actually did a part two, I may have it still ?

    Recurve bows

    I was pretty sure its still a form of fishing? I know hunting quarry with a bow is illegal, but bow fishing with a reel doesn't fall in! Now I am no legal expert, and have been proven wrong many times before, so is it illegal, like everything else , probably when you get caught ?

    Recurve bows

    Thats a Barnett quad 400, tweeked to 170lbs draw, around 390fps, I use headhunter carbon bolts, its great out to 75-80yards but quickly drops off after that. Only Lincoln green ?? Honestly you haven't seen a quarter of the archery stuff I have, I've been safety and equipment officer at the local club 15 years or so.

    Its legal for fishing and broadheads are readily available. It's certainly not easy though. There are reels you can get to attach to the riser where the stabalizing rod goes.
