Hi. I am a member of a couple of small, friendly, clay pigeon shooting clubs near Skipton in North Yorkshire. One has just launched a website to provide information. CHECK IT OUT ! http://www.penyghent-clay-shooting.org.uk

Hi. is it the 2.5x50 or the 3x60?

I believe that it is possible to get a Joint Certificate, so that she could use your guns & visa versa? This would possibly sort any storage problems? I know somebody who has done this with his son. Maybe somebody on here has more personal knowledge of a Joint ticket? Only hope that your Mrs doesn't end up shooting better than you do, this happened to my mate & he's always joking about it.

Hi. I was in my local gun shop the other day & spotted the Browning Buckmark .22LR semi-auto rifle, it is nice & light and thought that it would make a good bunny plinker. Has anybody got one, could you let us know of any pros or cons? Cheers Steve

Hiya Chris. Have you found one yet? Noticed one in the 'Sales' section, from Wheeler lines. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/159170-nuttall-wheeler-pups/ ATB Ste

Went out Thurs night & got first fox at over 150 yrds, using a Cluson Lazerlite (without filter) it is great lamp with good distance. Do the filters spook them less & how much does it reduce the distance? ....Which filter is best? Ste

Looks like you had good night, well done mate. Looking at the magazines, it looks like a CZ 452 ? A local pub near me pays £1.50 for decent size bunnies. Steve -
Maybe because had shotguns for over 15 yrs? Maybe because put in permission for too many pieces of land to put on certificate? 5 large farms & over 3k acres. Must admit that the 1st question that my RFD asked was " How the hell did you manage that?" BUT would not give me 'Target shooting', until had been made a full member of a recognised Rifle Club, am full member in a couple of weeks & will have to send certificate back for target to be added. I think that each granting force,for all the different areas, have different criteria?

Used the scopes onto the rifles mentioned. Zeroed .22LR @ 50yrds, .17 @ 100yrds & .223 - 1" high @ 100yrds. Out lamping Thurs night (well nearly Fri morning, didn't go dark till after 11pm) & got first fox at over 150 yrds, hopefully 1st of many. Steve

Hi Declan. How did your interview go, did you get everything that you asked for? Mine came thro 3 weeks after the interview, & amazingly an open ticket on 1st application. Steve

Correct. Just be relaxed & pleasant. Make sure you have a good reason for each of the calibres that you are applying for (e.g target shooting, vermin, small game, foxes, etc) & that you are aware of safety when shooting: It is an offence to have any firearm in a public place, unless safely covered with a securely fastened gun cover that prevents it from being fired. Never load a gun until it is safe to fire it. Always ensure that you are authorised by the landowner or person with the sporting rights to shoot where you intend to, and that you know precisely where the bo

Hi. Am looking for an all round 4x4, something can get across fields in & put dog in the back. Saw a Nissan X Trail on local supermarket car park, seems to have good ground clearance & sounds like reasonable fuel consumption ? Anybody had any experience of them ? Cheers Steve

I was after a pure bred Patterdale terrier (not a cross) & I've just bought a pup, litter was born 22nd May. I visited & saw the parents a couple of months ago, all working stock with great temperament. I know that the litter had 3 reserved, even before litter was born, still have a 3 left. http://siamaiden.synthasite.com/available.php Good luck with your search.

Hi steve Ref to scopes..personally the 223 has more range than 17hmr so there fore put the scope with more mag on the 223 and the one with less mag on 17hmr. Mick Cheers Mick. That is what I will do. My .22 - Richter 3-9x40 My .17HMR - Barska 3-12x50 Huntmaster Pro My .223 - Leapers 6-24x50 Sorted? Steve

Cheers guys. Just bought a CZ 527 .223 Varmint, comes with a SYSS Sportac Mod & a Barska 3-12x50 huntmaster pro IR. Is this ok for the .223, or should I use my Leapers 6-24x50 & use the Barska for my .17HMR? I will get them all sorted eventually? Steve

Thanks for the info lads. That link provides a lot of useful information, do I take it that the Mid-Range Trajectory is the best zeroing range? Looks like this range calculation could be bit complicated, maybe I should also look at getting a range finder? Cheers

Hi. I should receive firearms in next couple of weeks. I already have a CZ .22LR & a CZ .17HMR at the RFD and am planning to get a .223 soon. I have had shotguns for a lot of years, but never rifles. So I am looking for advice on the best zeroing distances for the rifles, I was planning to zero the .22LR @ 50 yrds but not sure about the other two? Any advice appreciated. Cheers Steve..

I have a Optik 3-9x40 on the .22LR. Also a mate has a Centre-Point 6-24x50 (with illuminated reticule), which he will let me have cheap, but not sure which rifle this would be suitable for? Budget - about £150 - £200. Cheers

Hi. Am new to Rifle shooting, have had shotguns for 15+ years. Have just had a visit from FAO & he has confirmed that I will have certificate within 3 weeks. My RFD is already holding .22LR & .17HMR (both CZ) & am planning to get a .223 soon. Can all you experienced rifle shooters advise me on which is best size scope for: 1) the .17HMR 2) the .223 Cheers Steve
