    Thanks guys still haven't plucked it as it's such a beauty of a bird seems a shame. I used to hear 30 bars was good but I think that's a bit small as not that uncommon, I think 35 is a good bird but you do get birds up to 40 bar so that'd be a beauty tail!

    I wouldn't Dundee. Not unless you like eating through a straw.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
