Hi

Hi from the deep south

I can't really get further south without a boat lol

What are you shooting in the deep south ticks? Too cold for possums? Another Northerner here

Tend to be darker down south which gets a better price too. Further north you go the lighter and less dense the fur.
Think it was around 95 bucks for machine plucked and 90 bucks for hand plucked per kg end of year before last

Unfortunately when I left my ex I had to hand in my firearms license because she told the cops she was scared of me although there was absolutely no basis to warrant her saying that she did it just to hurt me she even kept my pig dog saying that it was hers I couldn't do a thing at all the cops take the female side straight away in those types of things

The quality of the fur down here is pretty good alright you can see why they use it for stuff it's so bloody soft and not itchy like wool I can't believe that it's not more widely used and harvested I mean the are nothing but a pest and no use for anything else I got in the crap years ago in Aussie I was on holiday and saw one on the bird feeder so I grabbed it by the tail and put it down I didn't know that they are protected over there 😂 and yeah I had my fal for 22 years I had never been in trouble for anything at all with the cops I had really good solid reference from a few people but I didn't have a chance and I actually have to say that if some of the springer on the market now do the fps that they say it's more fps than a low velocity.22 and more fps than an average pcp yet you have to have a fal for them to and let face it guns don't kill people any more than a spoon make you fat it is the person who is holding it that is the problem and tbh the only people who don't have a gun without a license is the honest people it's like a lock on a door that won't stop a crim it will only stop the honest people

Cheers I have been learning about the recoil and stuff that a Springer does compared to powder and how to hold a Springer compared to powder it's a little hard to break the habit of holding it tight like a powder I'm not concerned about the fps really I was just trying to use it as a comparison I'm a bearing engineer so also well aware of the affect of the approaching the sound barrier and it's affects on a projectile bit like a "dome" shaped front is more stable in the air as a pose to a pointed tip bit like the mass of the projectile being more important for a kill than the fps I would have gone with a.17 if I was really wanting fps but even though they are higher than a .22 having less mass makes them less affective than a .22 but I do appreciate you giving me advice I work on the theory that if I don't know what someone else does know I will listen and learn rather than forming my own opinion on what I think I know my 7mm was a bit more accurate with a slower projectile then the faster ammo I am am surprised tho at just how different springers behave then powder it's just a practice thing I guess bit like anything in life the more information you know and the more practice you do makes you better and it's the smaller details that you pay attention to that makes the most difference

Bearing engineer. What does that involve?
