1. The Forum Rules have undergone some minor changes and updates.  Please take the time to read them; it will only take a couple of minutes of your time. By doing so, you lessen the chance of incurring the wrath of the moderation team or making yourself look foolish to other members.

    90% of users posting adverts in the Sales forums need to be reminded to read the rules as their posts are wrong.  This is unnecessarily time-consuming and will no longer happen - if your advert doesn't follow the Sales Rules it will be deleted and you'll have to start all over again.

  2. A reminder of one of the Forum Rules:

    'Behaviour

    Do not make inappropriate or offensive posts - including threats, harassment, swearing, prejudice, defamation, deliberate insults or name-calling, other negative remarks about this forum, its moderators and administrators or your fellow members. Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS.'

  3. Dear members,

    Our membership (like our country) consists of people from all walks of life; different in far more ways than can be listed here and each with a different view based on their experience of life - regardless of their colour, religion or cultural heritage. Every single person in the UK has been born of mixed race – we are a multi-coloured and multi-cultural country.

    As many of you are aware there are a handful of individuals amongst this membership that persist in making provocative, inflammatory, racist and otherwise offensive comments. This has been happening across the forum to a certain degree but is most especially prevalent in the Adult section.

    The moderation team has tried to stay on top of this, however unfortunately because of the ‘offensive’ nature of much of its content we don’t monitor the Adult section quite as much as perhaps we should. As a result much of this behaviour has gone unnoticed unless it has been reported to us. While the team always intended to take a "light touch" approach to the Adult section it would seem that some people aren’t quite adult enough to be left unmonitored after all.

    This behaviour is, and always has been against Forum Rules as well as the specific stipulations of the Adults forum and it will no longer be tolerated. We feel it's time to draw a line in the sand and as such from this point onward offenders will receive an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.

    In order for us to achieve our goal of restoring the forum to the friendly and tolerant place it once was, we ask that ALL members be mindful of the content they post and help us to stop unacceptable behaviour by using the 'Report' tool at the bottom of any offending post - the results of which can be seen only by Admin/Moderators.

    You should all receive a copy of this message by PM.

    Inspired by @rabbitwrecker and his playing card splitting antics, I had to try it myself, only having a 15 yard home plinking range there is always an excuse to look for a new challenge to keep things interesting.

    My precision tool of choice…….

    Non-standard Tx200hc .22
    Hawke sidewinder 6.5-20x44
    Falcon accuracy plus 13.43 grain domed pellets.

    The tool……..

    The results………..

    As you can see I failed :facepalm:

    It is way harder than it first appears to be, I’m going to try again with a flat head pellet or 3 and hopefully fully split a card in two, the king of hearts was very very close though :eek:

    That’s all really, if you’ve only got a short plinking range and fancy a challenge try splitting a card :up:


    Cheers Vinny

    Thankyou :up:

    I’m not for 1 second trying to say @rabbitwrecker isnt honest with his card splitting antics, I just wanted to see how hard it actually is, and believe me it takes some doing, I can’t imagine how hard it must be with a .177 :eek:


    Big respect to Mr RW :thumb:

    Wadcutters, or something like an H&N Hollow Point or RWS Super-H Point help a lot.

    Yes I will be trying again with something more suitable, although I’m sure a better shooter than me could do it with a dome :thumb:

    Thankyou :up:

    The hardest part for me was once you get the card lined up straight to your shooting position the edge is virtually invisible :eek: a dark background helped though.

    Those nibbles in some of your cards happen when the card isn't perfectly edge on. Nibbles on both front and rear edges or centre only, indicate the card is slightly bowed. And wadcutters are pretty much an essential ingredient... :thumb:
