Phantom 631 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Nice squizzer swatting Shay Been windy as hell round here today, especially this morning I wanted to go do the registration shoot for both the Lil' Angel and my Baby today, but the way the wind was blowing around here, it would have been a waste of time and lead. Maybe tomorrow after I have chased some people up and been into the sh!tpit called Hull for some stuff. Roll on a nice calm dry day Quote Link to post

Yes Shay, I had a fantastic time Thanks to both Si and Lj :notworthy: Seen the vids yet? and i like the picture pal you looked as if you didnt want to come back to the uk matey shay That my friend is the understatement of the year The only part of getting back I looked forward to was seeing the kids.

zini 1,939 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi Shay, Is Brendans Ultra a .22 or .177 buddy? I see that you Scorpian is a .22. Im thinking of exchanging my .177 Ultra for a .22, something Tench tuned of course. I just dont seem to be getting on with the smaller calibre and miss my .22 buddy, Ive nothing against the .177 calibre but just miss the challenge of shooting the .22 accurately with the hold over and under. I wanted it for night time work on rabbits but i am thinking about just going back to a laser as a range estimation tool for night time. What do you reacon buddy? Si Quote Link to post
