WHATS HOT & WHATS NOT

Peolpe whenever they grasp a gun want to go out and shoot everything in sight. I was once like it and im sure you were to. But just to make sure you are fully aware about what to shoot and what not to shoot ive designed this paragraph so noone gets confused:

RABBITS

The UK Rabbit population is now estimated to be about 37.5 million pre-breeding animals. A female rabbit can produce around 20 offspring each year, which are known as kittens. As a result the rabbit is now the most commonly seen mammal in Britain. When the population peaks in summer there can be as many as 300 million!In their present numbers rabbits can be a serious pest to farmers by causing reduced crop yields, damage to trees and young saplings and erosion of ground around their warrens. Consequently, in the interests of crop and environment protection, they provide much sporting opportunity, and are taken by a variety of methods. On the positive side, rabbits grazing on downlands can form an essential habitat for butterflies and other insects. Rabbits can grow to approximately 45cms in length and are the largest air rifle quarry. Airgunners can take large numbers of rabbits when using stealth tactics.

PESTS

MAGPIES

These birds are multiplying in vast numbers there is little natural predation and our milder winters no longer reduce the Magpies numbers as they once did. Magpies are no longer regarded solely as 'country' birds as they now venture into urban areas during the winter (and Summer) and find ample food stuffs put out for smaller birds. The RSPB recognise the problem and are aware that Magpies (by taking eggs and chicks) are having an undesirable effect on other bird populations (something that the Grey Squirrel also does !)

PESTS

CROWS & ROOKS

Neither are the terror of the hedgerows that the Magpie is but their numbers are increasing and they can cause considerable crop damage. Gamekeepers don't pursue them as they used to, so these Corvids have a pretty easy lifestyle and are on the increase.

PESTS

GREY SQUIRREL

The fact is they are another increasing pest and officially classified as vermin.They are not indigenous to the UK , Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) were brought over to England from North America 130 years ago and have now driven our own Red Squirrel out of their natural habitat. Since then, they have become a pest, with an estimated population of 2.5 million in England, Wales and central Scotland. The population rapidly displaced the native Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), which once had a population of five million but which now number about 150,000 and which scientists say could be wiped out within a decade.

PESTS

BROWN RATS

Another import into this country! Thought to have come here on Norwegian timber ships in the 1800s, hence its generic name Rattus Norvegicus.There can't been anyone that thinks the Brown Rat is cute and cuddly - I shoot them on sight. A recent survey in the UK suggested that at any one time - you will never be more than 10 feet away from a Brown Rat - where ever you are ! And as a consequence of the current bad floods (2000/2001) there is every reason to believe that they will be even closer !One good thing that the Brown Rat has done for humans was to drive out the smaller Black Rat (remember the Bubonic Plague). Brown Rats can't abide any other rodents sharing their food supply and will always kill them or drive them out.

PESTS

WOOD PIGEONS

Often referred to as the 'flying rat' these scruffy individuals look more like oily rags than birds, congregating on or around public buildings fowling ledges and the ground below (causing a slip hazard). The build up of debris from roosting Pigeons can cause blockage of guttering and drainpipes plus damage to roof top machinery.Feral pigeons are believed to have descended from domesticated strains of the Rock Dove and it continues to interbreed with racing pigeons and pigeons from bird fanciers' lofts, typically they produce four or more clutches of two eggs per year. They build their nests from any materials they can find (including plastic) on ledges / inside derelict buildings and on emergency stairways.

PESTS

And there you go people a brief in sight into whats hot and whats not now go out and kill em all.

NEWS

Farmers now putting a price tag on every RABBITS head. As Levels of RABBITS increase in Great Britain to an astonishing 2,000,000 a year farmers are getting extremely worried about amount of damage being caused to crop. A price of £2 per Rabbit is likeley.

Many in uprage about the new law brought in which prevents the shooting of STARLINGS in Great Britain. They have oficially been taken of the pest list and are now considered en-dangered.

A price tag has now been put on every GREY SQUIRRELS tail in Great Britain and Scotland. A new survey carried out suggest that the population of the GREY SQUIRRELL is increasing and is forcing our native RED SQUIRREL away or even DEAD. A price of £1 per tale has been offered.



New Guns

As the increase of the new PRECHARGED range has fallen appon us it is very obvious that the new generation of shooting is here to stay. Here are just a few of the leading PRECHARGED guns on the market so far:

BROCOCK ENIGMA (9 shot magazine)

A gun which Brocock can be proud of is the new Enigma. With a 9 shot magazine and a tank wich fills up to a standard of 200psi this gun really speaks for itself. It comes in 22 only and weighs in at 3.3 kg/7.2lbs its power output is a standard 12ft/lbs and has a synthetic two part stock. It usually comes with a silencer and case as standard so watch out for anyone who dosnt give you those with your purchase. Any comments please feel free to leave one.

GUN ONLY £380.00

 

AIR ARMS S410 (10 shot magazine)

Well what can i say. This gun speaks for itself. One of the most expensive and most rated AIR ARMS PRECHARCHED rifles to come out of the factory. Availible in 22 or 177 this gun really does what it says on the tin. At a standard 12ft/lbs and weghing in at 2.72kg/6.0lbs it will be no burden in the field. As a specialized hunting gun it wont let you down and the quality and finish will garsntee a good reaction. Any comments please feel free to leave one.

GUN ONLY £450.00

 

LOGUN S-16 SHROUDED (16 shot magazine)

The new LOGUN has something very special about. I cant quite grasp what it is but i can tell you that the rubberised finish and the 16 shot magazine really make me interested in it. One of the only things which let this gun down is unfortunatley its weight. Weighing in at 3.6kg/8.5lbs this may be a burden out in the field. But never the less i take my hat of to LOGUN for making a superb gun.

GUN ONLY £ 440.00

 

WEIHRAUCH HW77K (spring single shot)

This is one of the best spring guns WEIHRAUCH have brought out in the last few years. Quoted as one of the best spring guns availible this meeny would drop a rabbit at 56yrds no problem. Another thing that makes this gun what it is is the fact that it is one of the few guns that can get V-MACH (highly tuned) and tailor made to you.

GUN ONLY- £300.00
