Should be. The rifle has been tuned etc and the correct pellets have been discovered by going through an aweful lot of rounds and different brands in the field. Just up to me now

Nice bit of shooting Sir. Wonder if my XS 19 will be capable of the same range and accuracy

A great idea. The one problem we have here is the tenancy rules.........NO PETS ALLOWED so, the neighbour next door has a Staffi and others have cats so, we are bringing the one dog in under the umbrella as it were and hope for the best! Sounds like it will end up in the local dog pound when the landlord finds out to me. Take a chance with a kitten not a well bred working dog Wont happen:) Landlord can go eff himself coz i would be making sure every other bugger with an animal was told to get rid of them as well and the land lord would not stand the court case that would com

Nice looking bitch and a nice looking fox. A question if I may? Are fox furs any use these days?

Fair do's Simon. The other thought was Ferrets. Oh well, no doggie for me Thanks for the help though guys:) John

Its safe enoughbro:) I like lurchers, i do.....She (the wife) isn't going with me hunting so, I can use a lurcher, I can really......Just talking my self into it now I know it is legal

Lets see if this works Simon then you can see the area. http://maps.google.c...=h&z=18&vpsrc=6 I also have the field beyond the boundry as well. The area where the rabbits are coming in are from the bushes all around the perimeter of the area, and none towards the gravestones area. I did think about the road etc hence why I wanted to put my neck on the block as it were with you guys who do this all the time. John

No, flat as a pancake with gravestones at one end:) It is a Cemetary:) The permission is also in an really awkward area, right beside a main road and round a bout and is lit constanly with the over head sodium lights for the road leading up to the round a bout and the round a bout proper. Trying to shoot the b*stards is virtually a no go as they can see anyone approach all bloody night so, problems all round. John

I kinda thought that:). Thanks for the answer. John

I did that with mine unintentionally filmed a dogger. And NO I don't and wouldn't use it for "covert operations" against hunters either! I was trying to film a family of Owls to put up on a local Wildlife Trusts web site and got more than I bargained for!!! The camera was on location for 2 months day and night, four nights a week the same guy with the same car and different woman were there doing their thang! Dirty effers.................Jealous I was:(

I don't know you bro but I feel for you. When my lurcher had to be put down after having him for 9 years by my side 24/7 I was totally lost. Have a drink on him bro and think of the good times. The next one will be different and the good times will come back:) John

We are thinking of getting a dog for coney hunting on the permissions I have. We cann't decide between a jack or a Lurcher though. When it comes to personal preference, I am for a lurcher and Louise is for a Jack. So, over to youse guys who use these dogs on a daily basis. What are your thoughts, also, what would be the rough price of a jack pup or a lurcher pup? John

Brilliant post Simon. I have come back to shooting after a nigh on 8 years break. Have used springers for 40 years with a short time with an Alros PCP about 1996. Got my self an SMK XS19 .22 that has been resprung etc with a tune up kit from Woodfield Gun care Products. Shoots like a dream now at 11.4 foot pounds using RWS Super Domes. I must admit to liking the looks of some of the PCP's out there but I prefer a springer. Keep up the great posts buddy:) John

Nice post about starting shooting with a springer. All i can add really is, once you get used to holding the rifle properly, your grouping should tighten up. A lot of folks grip a springer in a "death" grip due to the recoil. Springers are meant to recoil so let it BUT, keep a firm grip on it all the same:) I am sure one of the guys who is more eloquent than I am will put it better:) Best of luck and welcome to spring powerd air gunning:). And, I am assuming you are new to shooting, if I am wrong please do forgive me:) John
