What did Macky say? I'm looking for one too and would appreciate some advice. Cheers

Welcome!

Howdy and welcome!

Welcome, from a fellow site newbie

Sky09, already am. Cheers!

Hi Kirstydad, a favourite drinking ground of mine. Wasn't aware there were any shooting grounsd in the region, although I've certainly seems signs a little 'vermin' control may be needed. ;0) cheers.

Wow! That is a great result! Well done! It's all about connections really isnt it? By the way, if you ever need a gun... Good luck with the FAC! Paul

Cheers. Glad you got your books!

He's not a big pigeon decoyer, ferreting is his passion, that and rough shooting to feed the ferrets. As I say, where he shoots the suppresed 12g will be ideal. I'm surprised he let his beloved side by side go though, glad I was in a position to have it off him. You've done well getting permissions in Braintree. Probaly the hardest thing in getting involved in shooting isnt it, finding permissions? Seems strange at first, you think "I'll be doing them a favour, they'll welcome me with open arms." but it doesnt work like that does it? Cheers again for the welcome. Paul

Sorry, just read it properly, East Ham not West. Not far from Stratford...

Hi stubby and thanks for the welcome! I'm in Hackney.. or should that be 'ackney? Not far from West Ham... In fact from where I am I can see one side of the Olympic Village and from West Ham you could see the other! A mate is trying hard to get himself a Hushpower moderated 12g. He just missed out on getting one today after I spotted TWO on a gunshop website at a reasonable cost but unfortunately they were snapped up before he could get one. The Spanish side by side I have was his, he sold it to me as he's selling up to get the Hushpower. Glad to have it too as he looks after his

Thank you gents.

Just saying hello to everyone. Newbie to the Forum and to hunting, having taken up shooting just a couple of months ago. Main interests are decoying wood pigeon and corvids and rough shooting rabbits and other pests / vermin, although finding permissions within striking distance of London is not easy! I've got three shotguns, a Benelli M2 semi-auto synthetic, a Miroku mk38 Sporter over & under and a lovely old but well looked after Spanish side by side. I'm looking to buy a .410 Hushpower, probably a Baikal single barrel or similar, in the not too distant future and along with the BSA
