Bad luck

[Twymanc]

Hey peeps so Xmas is over and my lovely kids bless em bought me an lamp kit for my air rifle ultra fire from eBay with mount thought it was Gonna be shite for 25 nicker and was pleasantly surprised to see how we'll it worked lol, then after receiving a phone call from my brother in law whose friend has some stables with major rat problem I was even more excited until New Year's Eve . A pain in my lower abdomen and a trip to the hospital within 12 hours I was on the operating table having my appendix removed 2 weeks off work and 6 weeks no heavy lifting how's ya luck lol oh we'll hope you all had a good Xmas and a happy new year to you all

That's a bugger of a start to the new year!

Oh well, let them breed until you get there, you'll just need more pellets!

[Sidebyside]

Let's hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to doing those rats in , all the best

I would look forward to ratting with an night scoped air rifle such that I would look on such a operation as a minor inconvenience. Here's to a speedy a recover and a target rich environment!!!!

luckily you were diagnosed and treated speedily, OK you have a few weeks to recover, but this will fly past and you will get out there with the new lamp...... Happy Ratting....

I broke my arm left at the top just below the shoulder on 12th November. That is now 98% healed.. however I have been told that the damage to the muscles will take up to 12 months before I have full mobility back. Right now I can't even hold a mug of coffee in my left hand let alone shoulder a rifle or shotgun. I am not, as you can imagine, a very happy bunny at the moment..

If I were you I would be tempted to get a pistol.

That's mean, perhaps he could take up darts or spear chucking in the meanwhile.

Nope. Because I can't extend my left arm more than a couple of inches from my body so I'd have no balance to chuck darts (nor the inclination.. stupid, boring game..). A pistol, of sorts, I have in the form of a Co2 1911 style Tanfoglio Witness - complete with a very acceptable blow-back action. And it's quite accurate too. The downside is reloading the mag and having to pull the spring catch down and hold it whilst I load the BB's.. it's a tad too painful at the moment..

Why not stick in a variation for a LBP/LBR or a muzzle loader like my Westlake Armscor?
