    hi folks, when i bought my air arms s500 extra fac i was advised to use nothing less than a 16 grain pellet. at present i use baracuda hunter extreme which seems to work quite well (19.09 gr) but i have learnt that both the gun and myself perform best when the gun is set at 3/4 power, so do i still need the same weight pellet ? cheers plum !

    bosun11 i think your right mate, people who know me well have asked when i,m going to get another dog to replace my old girl (flo). i feel that at the moment i,m really enjoying only having the one dog so that we can both enjoy our ferreting/beating together. its been said on here many times that its all about how much time you put into your dog and i,m seeing the results of that now, cheers plum!

    i,v never had a collie cross but have read all of this thread with interest as i think this cross could would probably do most things i,d like from a lurcher, ie hunt up, mark,retreive, catch etc. this add. was in our local paper this evening, border x bearded collie x greyhound x whippet pups,male £100,female £150,cheers plum !
