i havent bought my rifle yet matey, but thinking of getting into it again, i used to have a Weihrauch HW80 with a 4-12x56 scope in the early-mid 90's but ill health put paid to that...thinking of getting a Weihrauch HW100 but i see it uses a gas bottle of some sort so i wouldn't have a clue where to get the bottles filled or how much it costs to fill....but thank you for that info ive put that phone number into my phone
take care zippy mate appretiate it

anytime, here to help

I used to shoot rats in the Liverpool Dock warehouses many years ago.

I am also air'd up, and interested in getting back into it, I used to do a little competition shooting with an RWS Sig C225, still have my basic ol' Webley Excel Carbine (with crazy soviet Pilad scope, as used on the soviet Dragunov SVD sniper rifle!).

Might well give one of those clubs a call - good info Zippy

Failing that you can always fall back on NERF guns and use them indoors on unsuspecting victims!!

I used to shoot with a .303, then an FN, then an SLR and then an SA80. Happy days. No, I am too young to have shot witha bow and arrow. just in case anyone is wondering.

Zippy, any chance of getting some pictures of the old HAA gunsite at Altcar sometime ???

no i can't as i just googled that then pasted it there lol coz some peeps can't use google

Summer01
i dont mind killing vermin as they cause a lot of disease, rabbits ruin farm crops as do wood pigions rooks etc (ive only killed rats up to now), Sometimes killing is a must.....how else would people eat if nothing was killed....im looking forward to shooting off a few pellets at a gun club
just stating my opinion summer01
take care

Why keep it to myself??? i asked a question on here, no one is forcing anyone to read it..the post concerns those who are interested, if people dont like reading stuff like this then they shouldn't read it and that way they have no need to comment
its just an intrest of mine
thanks
take care

Everyone's entitled to their opinion & is free to express it.

come on play nice peeps group hug lol

.

no let it be

brady, why should summer keep it to herself summer has the right to voice her opinions,

he hasn't got a gun yet

Think "keep it tp yourself then" was Summer's comment, kimpri.

Careful Summer,don't rile someone with a blood lust!

I've never been one to go along with the excuse for killing because they are vermin, I'd rather people be honest and say they like the hunt and the kill. In my days of having a firearms permit and being a member of a gun club, at least the members there were honest enough to say they liked the kill and not hide behind, the need to be culled. Myself i got enough pleasure improving my ability to shoot by firing at targets, stationary or moving, never thought it very manly firing at animals, vermin or otherwise, might of thought otherwise if they could shoot back.

Succinctly put bert,couldn't agree more.

if you find anywhere mate let me know and i'll come with you.
got a decent webley tracker carbine setup which needs a run out.

will do mate
sorry summer01 i wasn't being nasty its not my way, if i offended you then im sorry but i used to shoot rats years ago, i never hunted in any way, i used to walk along the leeds lpool canal shooting rats...i had ducks swim past me as well as geese and gulls all of which i left alone...i was just after the rats...so if i have offended anyone im truly sorry
take care all

lol ok, it all just got out of hand, ill keep my opinions to myself in future lol
take care ok :o)

that is me (obv) and Shadow-Omega, from here- not my boyfriend-at last years Wirral History and Heritage Fair. We'd got chatting to a pair of War Enactment Enthusiasts. Theres a thread on here somewhere.

lashs are you a farmer?

I doubt you are so you probably don't know anything about the vermin on farms that do destroy and contaminate crops already cut or not. You only have to search on YouTube for "Rat farm shoot" to see just how bad some places are.

Yes it has, crops cost money! Vermin will chew through containers and sacks spilling the crop on the floor. this = time + money + crop wasted & contaminated. There is no cover up!

You can't tell a Rat "oi stay off the crops" the only thing you can do is exterminate them. It's a nessesery evil.

My cat caught a rat. He had a great time

How would you like to get rid of the rats then?

Poison? A slow painful death?
Electric? A painful death that lasts 20seconds
Trap? A nice metal bar slamming into the rat bursting it's inside's and causing another painful slow death.

Tonys cammo,Saltney,have a 25m range

I can't see it lasting very long, if your cat is out hunting mines can I ask if she hunt land mines or coal mines

Them sonar things are a load of crap! My neighbour bought one and had it up for 3 days before taking it back. I could bloody hear it at night and it was doing my head in. If humans can't here it why do some have PIR sensors turning it on and off ? Surely you can just leave it on...?... No cos they are crap and humans CAN hear it.

Don't get me wrong I'm not for all types of hunting.

The correct frequencies are way outside the human range, but a faulty circuit design or a bit of cr@p in the transducer and you will get sub-harmonics which are audible.

The PIR concept is generally for battery models, the PIR can be very low current, the transducer though takes power.

.

I had one of them PIRs', made the baby cry all the time that it was up. took it down after a day or two.

I went to the shooting school at shotton today, very cool and friendly, only £5 for 2 hours with your own air rifle, think I might go this week anyone else want to go?

Gun club, at Column Road West Kirby, Grange Gun Club. All types of shooting including archery and air weapons.
