Nowt wrong with believing in mystical beings: god, allah, the tooth fairy. How's about a bit of tolerance for our 'native' religions and adopted native religions? IMHO its all hogwash, but if people want to believe it, they can fill their boots

WTF indeed! and wtf were you looking for?

They keep the vermin down in my extensive experience, so serve a purpose. Downside is you can't feed the birds anymore, which is why I'm not keen on them. Down to the wife (and a soft rescuing kind of heart) we have 8 of the brutes. Not seen a rat since we got them though. I have a few friends who knock cats off given the chance, but I make no bones about it; kill my animals, there will be retribution and it'll look like an accident

Anyone?

Pigeon Decoying On Freshly Drilled Wheat
The Duncan replied to M.I.A's topic in Pigeon Shooting & Decoying
Great going Dale - I reckon I must be a Jonah -
Thank god! Thought my shooting had gone downhill! Couldn't get better than an inch group at 110 yards from a sitting position (FT style). Will get a stud fitted asap so I can use my harris bi-pod. So, to ask a stupid question, do you guys all shoot prone? Cheers D.

Looking for rimmie, Magtech any good?
The Duncan replied to The Duncan's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Quick update chaps! Got a great deal on a virtually unused CZ511 - yes, a semi auto! Not to Jonno's taste I know, but hellishly good fun and it cycles RWS subs as fast as you can pull the safe 'n sensible trigger. Ok, accuracy-wise bunnies are readily do-able out to 60 ish yards and groups about an inch there when I do my job right. 40 yards its bullet on bullet. My old 452 varmint would group at 60 yards like this does at 40, but I like the speed at which a second shot is available. Anyway, beyond 60 yards, I'll be using the hmr so longer range accuracy just isn't really an issue for me -
So, does everyone use a bipod with their hmr? I'm coming to the conclusion that you pretty much need one to achieve its potential. Otherwise I'd end up using mine like an overly powerful rimfire at shorter ranges than it is capable of.

Hi folks, does anyone make use of rabbit fur on here? I've been looking into tanning it and not wasting the fur but keep drawing a blank on 'how to' guides and what chemicals/consumables to use and where to get them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Duncan.

Not complaining! Got new toys to play with, weather permitting . Managed to unearth my harris bipod to put on the new hmr, but now its blowing a hooley in my neck of the woods. I reckon if its not an a 'pod, I'll end up just using it like a standard rimfire which would be a waste of the gun. Getting to grips with inland wildfowling too; busy, busy, busy

I think they were confused - solstice is 21st December. Possibly they meant the Equinox?

Nice to know our mods have a balance of country sports in their CV's How's it going Malt? D.

The old dog versus gun rears its horribly ugly head again. Ancient tradition? Hunt with a dog. Fast results? Lamp and rifle. D.

berreta silver pigeon 687 sport
The Duncan replied to dannyskud's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I love mine - lovely wood too. And if you miss, you do so with italian style -
And a strong sense of self-delusionment I notice dogs are mentioned, but no need to be a sharp shot with a rifle or shotgun D.

Pop up hide - anyone use one??
The Duncan replied to 19powell90's topic in Pigeon Shooting & Decoying
Wife bought me one years ago, rarely used. Recently taken it along for pigeon decoying as a waterproof place to go when it pees down and adds to the screen I use. Now much more useful Couldnt really swing a shotgun from one and quite restrictive for rifle use IMHO. Cheers D. -
First observation is KEEP BOTH, and get something else in between as well, but lets assume there is a good reason why two will have to go and be replaced by one. Do you reload? If so pretty much whatever you want! If not get a .243, and quite probably get a .243 anyway!! Thanks for your reply, firstly No i dont reload, i often thought about it, but being a lazy gitt, thought it too complicated, although i have seen the benefits of homeload accuracy. Secondly , my issuing force is Dyfed Powys Police, they wouldn't give you the steam of their shit let alone another rifle in betw
