H4H ( help for heros)

You may have noticed two new pictures on the right side of this page. This is a direct link to a charity that is doing so much for our wounded and injured soldiers.

 Help for Hero's


Help for Heroes, The Royal British Legion and other service charities are working in partnership with the MoD to deliver the multi-million pound Defence Recovery Capability (DRC) – a comprehensive pathway to help wounded, injured and sick personnel launch back into the next phase of their lives.
A key part of this will be providing support to the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Marines by delivering Personnel Recovery Centres (PRCs) in Edinburgh, Colchester, Catterick, Tidworth and Plymouth.
These will mean that the wounded will benefit from new skills, qualifications and work experience to guarantee that their future, whether in the Armed Forces or in civilian life, is secure. The PRCs will also provide support for life, somewhere they can return to receive help and advice whether it’s financial, relationship problems or problems with prosthetics.
The Recovery Centres will provide comfortable living and learning accommodation for those on the Road to Recovery, giving those injured in the line of duty the very best training and opportunities to face a fulfilling future. Additionally it is envisaged that the PRCs will provide a Welfare Hub for those who have left the Services but can continue be a part of an extended fellowship. Young Veterans will be helped to find jobs, learn life skills, continue to keep fit and, in short, to know exactly where to go when problems arise. They will be encouraged to be independent but will have the comfort of knowing that the Centres are there should they need them: a One Stop Welfare Shop.

Over the next few months i am going to arrange a "Shoot for Charity" event. This will be a sponsored air rifle shoot at one of my permissions. ALL money raised will go directly to the H4H fund. More information to follow.

Theoben Rapid ........

I went to visit a mate today and i was telling him about how i was back rabbit hunting. He asked what rifle i had and i told him a good mate had loaned me his Gamo Maxima. He offered me the use of one of his rapids saying give this ago and you will want one. Now, having never used a rapid before i didn't quite know what to expect, very well balanced, not to heavy, easy to use bolt system....all in all a very nice rifle.
 Then came the first shot...WOW...as i gently pulled back the trigger all i heard was a whisper and the pellet hit the target @ 25 yards. All the other shots were just like the first and the grouping was perfect. All 12 pellets inside a 20mm kill zone at 25 yards. I'm not one for paper punching but i thought i would just try it again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I got the same result on that card too....i knew they were good but i didn't realise they were this good.






As i am in the market for a new rifle i would love to own one but i am undecided. I also like the
BSA R10 and the logun S16s so i willhave to have a think.




My new knifes from Blades and Bows.

If you are like me you have more than one hunting knife. I  normally have a good gut hook but after using these two it has took up residence in my safe, gathering dust.  They are both very well constructed, sharp and have a positive blade locking system. They are also quite light but this does not detract from the knifes quality. As for value for money they both get 10/10.


Both knifes have " One Thumb Opening " that makes it very easy to use if you only have one hand free, a belt clip and the one on the left has a hole for a lanyard.




This knife has a serrated section on the blade, another great design feature


Both look the part and defiantly perform well when breasting pigeon or paunching rabbits.

For more information on these and many other great designs of knifes visit Blades and Bows.
 I can guarantee you wont be dissapointed.
