With all this fine weather that we have had lately I decided on a second trip up to the field that I shot on last week. This time I set up at the other end of the same damaged patch as last week, partly because I saw rabbits at the far end last time and also because the wind was in the opposite dire...

Last April a shooting and fishing friend of mine got me some permission that wasn't right on my doorstep and needed a ten minute drive to reach. It consists of four big wheat fields and a hay field and in the last fourteen months it has provided us with around two hundred rabbits to the airguns and ...

Yes, I'll have to try that. I've already got one of those camo ones with the swivel tops that the pigeon shooters use when hide shooting. Mind you apart from the ants I do find lying down a very comfortable position and can easily lie prone for a few hours without much movement (interspersed with a ...

Today I received my new bipod to fit to the S410 and a new camera to try out. So I would be ready for a short session this evening. As the wind had died down at 8:30pm I decided to hit the top corner of the field where a few rabbits were out on my arrival. Set up the rifle on the new bipod and put a...

Been a bit limited lately where to shoot due to the current stages of the crops round here and also have been putting a bit of time in clearing swims for the start of the river season for our local fishing club. So the last two evenings I've been up the road onto our own field to sort out the rabbit...

Not a good night for lamping round here, too still and a fair amount of light with all the cloud cover at 10pm. But I needed to show my recent permission that I was still keen and as this newly drilled crop was now a foot high the rabbits needed to be put in check. So drove out at a little after 10p...

Going Chris, my only worry is the rifle getting wet Cheers, A quick undo of the stock to separate the mechanics, wipe off excessive moisture, then a light wipe over with same napier wipe and all should be well. If I feel that a bit a moisture may be trapped in the stock then they will be left separ...

Well finished a 10 hour day at work and cycled home to rush some tea down before setting off to do the weekly food shop in the hope that I may get a couple of hours of last light in for a second go at those pigeons. Didn't go quite according to plan as me oldest lad wanted to come and push the troll...

Get yourself Mathew Manning's airgun hunting book there are some great recipes in there. In the meantime for something quick and easy: My freezer in the garage is chock full of rabbits, pheasants, duck, pigeon and trout and so recently I've been jointing all the rabbits I've shot and then after soak...

Nice honest write-up, sessions like this just make us appreciate the ones that go according to plan. I remember getting a new side-by-side 12 bore for my 15th birthday and I was out with a mate shooting on his farm a week later and I leant it against a metal gate only for it to slide down the rail a...
