    Dementia contributory factors

    One of the worries is that you take this very seriously and follow good advice as best you can, doing stuff you don't want to do, not doing stuff you want to do, and then something else comes along and screws you up anyway, so you've given up some of what you see to be the "good life" for...

    Synthetic Stocks, what is that all about?

    I'm probably going to offend everyone here, but maybe when we don't like something it's enough to say we don't like it, rather than also be astonished that other people might, and then criticize them for that. It's because we all have such different tastes that such a variety of things are...

    Follow on from bottles tops for targets !

    I love the idea, and using magnetic strips as well/instead is good too. Must go and order some.

    Shot Count HW110 carbine in .177

    Thank you all for your comments, all of which I found helpful. If I go into the yellow I may well get another couple of mags before the power drops, so 60 would be OK. I will try and see. The gun hasn't been tuned. Is that worth doing? I guess a gun can always be improved, but are there...

    Shot Count HW110 carbine in .177

    I've never really paid much attention to shot count, but the other day I was using the HW110 for longer than usual and found that the gauge needle was only in the green for about 40-45 shots. Does anyone else with an HW110 have a similar shot count figure, or should I be getting it looked at...

    Need a fill fitting

    I think you need to take your probe off the whip and put a female quick coupler on instead. You then add male quick couplers to each of your probes and you can change them over easily.

    Cam magazines

    I would be happy to participate in a group buy, but I admit I am not keen on organising it.

    50 posts - a good idea trashed?

    AS a new member I was surprised at the limit, but it's really not a problem. I do understand the desire to stop people selling straight away. I was a bit more surprised by not being able to buy, but there are plenty of arguments for and against and I'm happy to comply because I like the forum...

    E Bikes

    So do I, and as a bit of an ebike sceptic originally, I was blown away by how good it is. I know it has been said in some of these posts that you don't need to buy a high end bike, but I would say buy as good as you can afford. It is astonishing the difference in quality when you move up to...

    Bench rest

    I have always done it the same way as I shoot, rest at front, shoulder at rear, but am about to try it with a rest as I would imagine it to be quicker and possibly more accurate. I think if you just want 0 as quickly and accurately as possible, the fixed rest should be fine; if you treat...

    Under 50 posts - Why did you join the forum?

    I was a member of the previous forum. In the same way I have been a member of several motorcycle forums (new bike, new forum), this and its predecessor is a great way to learn stuff about something I enjoy doing. Good for advice too. I had not been on the previous forum for some time when it...

    Mobile backstop home range

    The major problem is that it is over-engineered and a bit on the heavy side. The handles help a lot, especially if I can rope someone in to help me!

    Reximex pretensis

    I had never heard of it. It looks like a very nice gun.

    Homemade plinking targets

    I think there are enough ideas to keep me busy for a long time. Where do I learn welding?

    Forced holidays at work.

    It all depends what the contract says. If there is no provision in the contract that specifically allows the employer to determine when you have to take holiday, such a provision cannot be introduced without consultation. You do not have to agree to the introduction of such a provision, though...

    What age to start kids shooting

    Like everything else with kids, it's important not to turn them off by taking the fun out of it. Yes, in your mind safety should always be uppermost, but being too overt about the discipline needed too early can make it a chore for the kids. Let the first couple of times be very closely aided...

    Target Scopes

    I was thinking the HW110K my grandkids are using to shoot in my backyard, at about 30 metres was heavier than it should be, and I realised the scope was probably far too big for the gun - 50mm. I started changing about the scopes and rifles I have and was surprised to find that an old Simmons...

    Mobile backstop home range

    I've just joined the forum and was blown away by the mobile target set up that started this thread. Mine is nowhere near as creative, but I will share it anyway since it may appeal to others with my modest ambitions. This is the back view to show the metal plates (3mm if I remember...
