lol that's hardcore gun porn alright yes its right upto 12lb of course no firearms licence required yet! I am going to see him soon and we are going to set up some long range targets, we will do some measures, be interesting what it can do.... I was having a nose on the Daystate web site last night, is yours the Huntsman HR Regal ?? your stock looks beautiful Dave, I have an old BSA as pictured which is still going strong, I took it to my local shop to test where they shot a pellet through the calibration thingy and told me that it was not worth changing anything as still performing well so not had much use.....

Flies in my filter housing
Hi guys
I have posted three or four times on various threads, last one on here about a year ago, ( I don’t know how to link it) it was to do with identifying aquatic worms Larvae?
Many years ago as a newbie I had the same problem! I researched for quite a while then found these?
I have found using them regularly, hinders/stops about 90% of the midge flies/larvae in the water system, any hidden corner/pipe bend, becomes a nursery for these “Sticky Larvae”
Then they restrict flow in pipes (my original problem) etc & you get a breeder, hence all the thousands of flies.
They are completely fish & koi safe too.
MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY WORK!

Yes mate it's a huma regulated regal huntsman, it's a 'select stock' version so it had a better piece of walnut.
that's a really nice springer you've got there,
hold on to it, you won't get one that quality from BSA anymore.
i used to have a BSA supersport back in the day, and only recently got back into air gunning.
using a PCP is different to a springer, they are not as much fun as a springer,
but are easier to shoot and more accurate.
i'm not a brilliant shot by any means, but can group 10 pellets within a 5p sized diameter at 30-40 meters.
it also helps to have a chrono so you can see any variance in pellet speed that would affect accuracy.
and to make sure you don't go too near 12ftlbs as it varies depending on type and grain weight of pellet.

For anyone who would like to show off at club meetings or down the pub with their koi mates, Mosquito Dunks have an active ingredient which is a species of bacteria (Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis) which is deadly to the larvae of gnats, mosquitos and the larvae of similar insects but is harmless to other forms of aquatic life including fish.

We get a terrible problem with gnats type things during balmy summer nights and the b.....d things love me, I expect that it maybe worse once pond is up and running, anybody with a few suggestions to help that situation?

None whatsoever. Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis (Bti) bacteria form spores which have internal crystals which are toxic to the larval stages of many insects including aquatic larvae. When the larvae ingest the spores on their "food" sources, the toxic crystals bind to their gut membrane cells and paralyse them so the insect larva can't feed and therefore starve to death. Nitrifying bugs don't "eat", they absorb ammonia or nitrite molecules through their cell walls so they cannot ingest the Bti spores.
