    Squirrel feeder

    One of my permissions is currently over run with Squirrel at the moment but there are several nut trees that they hide in, so I decided to build a feeder to try to concentrate them into a single place. I made rough feeder and filled it with a mix of Wheat and Maize then left it for a few days...

    Squirrel and a Rabbit in the rain

    saw the Rabbit a long way off, managed to crawl within 35 yds of it before I took the shot, I was really pleased with myself for getting so close. I gave myself a virtual pat on the back for such a good effort. on further examination of the Rabbit it appeared all my self adulation was worthless...

    Quick hour at dusk

    I popped out for a quick hour this evening as the wife was popping out so took full advantage, scared a few off as they scented me but settled in to wait for them to come back. I was just about to leave for the night when 2 Rabbits ran out at 60yds. I waited out a few minutes and 1 came into...

    Longest shot I have ever made

    Took the AA510 Sporter to the paddock I have been shooting of late and sat off waiting some action. A Rabbit showed at 62 yds and I sat watching him through the scope. He made no attempt to move any closer to me so I decided to take the shot. There was no wind at all so I placed the cross hairs...

    An hour at dusk after doing some paper punching

    i decided to add another 5 yds to the scope zero as the paddock I am shooting at the moment makes the extra 5 yds worth everything. i set out 2 target holders and used the laser range finder to distance 35 yds and set to. It only took a couple of clicks on the Hawke Endurance and once happy...

    Woodpigeon, testing the camera mount

    I bought a rack type camera mount a little while back and to make it useable I had to use epoxy 2 pack glue on a couple of bits to get it set rock solid, and it fits really well now. Camera is the LUMIX Selfie, really good cheap camera with a rear tilting screen to allow me to see the image...

    Air Arms Customer Service

    I have 2 rifles, both made by Air Arms in the UK. My decision to stick with the brand has a few factors 1. I am stuck to 12ft/lb without getting my FAC ticket and sub 12ft/lb performance and accuracy on these guns is legendary 2. Factory is 30 miles from my house 3. After sales service i have...

    First Squirrel with the new Air Arms S510 US

    I have shot most of the better make sub 12 ft/lb rifles available in the UK and some really awful ones too in needs to be said, but I have now settled on Air Arms for several reasons. Build quality, accuracy, reliability and the factory is 30 minutes away from where I live. i have shot my TDR...
