    That's a genius idea!

    I don't usually go after the crows this time of year with the game season on and all. But, had a chat with farmer giles last week and he said that the crows were hammering his feed and needed them thinning out. I thought that I would chose the Remington 870 Express Magnum as the tool of choice. Managed to 18 all together in a couple of hours, the field was badly flooded following the lovely weather we've had in North Wales over the weekend so couldn't retrieve them all.

    You should get a really nice shotgun for £500 mate and if you're happy with it you'l end up keeping it for a long time. ATB SFA

    Fkn Hippies Most of them don't eat meat... and the ones that do decide to eat it raw off the side of the road!

    Hi mate Always a good idea to go second hand on your first shotgun, it usually means that if the gun doesn't fit you well the mistake is cheaper. Here's a link on gun fit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLLnGM3DXE0 Personally I would go for a decent Over and Under or Side by Side. You can get a decent shotgun for £100 if you keep your eyes peeled and be patient. I spent £500 on my first, it was a Winchester Parker hale O/U and I don't think I will ever get rid of it. Good luck to you pal SFA

    I've been using the gamebore Clear Pigeon 32g in number 6, ideal for those high birds. Good cartridge would defiantly recommend them. I also use these for pigeon and crows as well, a good all rounder

    This is why I never go on P.W anymore, bunch of third dimensional morons.

    Hi mate Its only a small shoot and can not afford to tip beaters. Each member will eventually need to posses a dog for this reason. Although there are uaually two beaters with dogs, they werent there on that particular day.

    Maby im a bit soft, but Id sleep better knowing the outside working dog was sleeping with some heat, whilst the missus's pet dog sleeps indoors next to the radiator. Have no problems with owners who choose not to use heat though, just personal prefrence. SFA

    Are these any good then mate? Have seriously considered getting one of these when Ive finished coverting my brick shed into a kennel/run. Another question is where abouts would you install it? High? Or low? Cheers pal SFA I bought one from Argos a few year back , and can honestly say it was wank,,, it would struggle to warm my pocket up...in fact 1 inch from it you couldn't feel anything".............. But maybe there are better ones out there, that thing I got was about 18 inch long,, I took it back the next day... Thanks for the heads up mate, might do a bit more r

    If you're going to buy a rubber stock boot, make sure you don't go for the cheapest. I bought a cheap one (about £8-00) for my Remington 870 and it ended up staining the stock! Not sure how it happened, but you can clearly see the outline of the stock boot.

    Hi Wyeman I totally agree, luckily I'l be buying the pup from a renowned breeder and trainer in my area. It was agreed that he would provide the training as well as the pup, couldn't think of anyone better to be honest. This will be my first gundog so eager to get it right (as much as I can). Cheers for the reply. SFA

    Hi folks and blokes Just a quick question on whistle training. I've just joined a shoot and have come to the conclusion that shooting game without a dog is like a pro golfer without a caddy. Last week it took me nearly 20 mins to retrieve a bird I shot half way down a ledge up to my neck in brambles which clearly amused the rest of the members. Anyhow, I will be getting my lab pup in March and have already pre-booked the breeder. My question is how old should the pup be before introducing the whistle? I've had mixed responses on this, and there seem to be some experienced

    Would like to close this thread. North Wales (gwynedd) FLO will be visiting me on Monday. Excluding the Xmas holidays, and the fact that the form was sent to wrong address, took just under a month. Well done N Wales Police, well impressed. SFA OK!

    Ha, typical. It's nearly been two months since I put the application in. Got a deposit on a gun and and my cabinet's in place, just a matter of sitting tight then. Fair play I have been told that the FLO's well busy at the moment.
  19. Super Furry Animal
    Thought so, cheers mate
  20. Super Furry Animal
    I think your right mate, just need to sit it out. I might start knitting in the meantime, make myself a nice hat and scarf ready for winter 2013 Good luck with the FAC mate.
  21. Super Furry Animal
    6 months???? That sounds extreme, were there any complications with your application?
  22. Super Furry Animal
    Alreet mate, Cheers for getting back to us. I've already emailed the office, but didn't get much sense to be honest. I was told that on some occasions it could take up to 3 months. I realise that the FLO's probably busy as hell but you can't help but think that somehow I might've slipped the net. Would he be ok with me phoning him do you think? lat thing i want to do is p**s him off if he's that busy. My gun dealer's already fuming because the gun's just sitting there ha Nice one Carwyn ps tried sending you a PM but wouldn't work for some reason

    Hi I'm new to this forum, am a keen fisherman, air gunner, and awaiting for my grant of a SGC. If anyone can tell me how long N Wales Police usually take to process, please let me know. Diolch SFA

    Hi guys/girls I'm new to this forum, so I apologise if posted this thread in the wrong section Just wondering if any of you North Waleians could tell me how long it took you to get your SCG. I's been nearly two months since I sent mine, and still not a peep from the FLO. Is this normal, or am I just being inpatient? Fitted my cabinet over a month ago, and put a deposit on a gun just after that, so as you can imagine it's very frustrating. Any comments/advice welcome (within reason of course) SFA
