sussex 5,777 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I had one made of metal , had to put rubber on all the rest areas to stop the noise , if you made the slightest contact with the rifle on the metal the foxes heard it and were gone in a flash . Deer wasn't quit so bad but Charlie never even looked back they just tore of ..the rubber mat cured it .. 1 Quote Link to post
archiekale 427 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 hi sussex the rifle rest areas are wood lats and old exercise mats folded over them when shutters are removed we should be ok the side window shutters will have a perspex slot so if raining from left to right or vice versa we can still see that side Quote Link to post

Limpo 23 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I thought you'd seen a blind deer and a blind fox. Nice work though, heater or not still warmer than sat on a plank up a tree. Quote Link to post
