I have a lot of hobbies, well, used to. I used to be into motorbikes, but I don't have one here in the Uk now. But I have been a lifelong fisherman which I can do here and at our home in the Philippines. Recently I have been fly fishing with my Dad and caught some nice Trout. A few days ago I decided to try and tie a few flies. It is incredibly difficult and intricate so as a noob, I think I did quite well. Showing my little son Vincent what I was making, he said 'Daddy, can you make me one.... a red and black one' So I did. That led me to making one for Jasper, and as we call Wasps 'jaspers' it had to be yellow and black, then one for Lenii my daughter, which as a fly is a bit 'out there' but pretty like her.

My other hobby is shooting. I have a Webley FX2000 PCP air rifle, and enjoy hunting at a local farm. Keeping the rabbit population down is our directive from the farmer and in the longer evenings it is good sport as well as effective vermin reduction. Recently, I have been watching Youtube and seen how these people video their hunts with cameras rigged up looking through the scope. So with time on my hands, I had knocked up a rig for my rifle. Yet to be tested in the field, I hope I can capture some nice footage. Anyway, it took some thinking about but I got if done.



Must be great making the flies for fishing and whats even better is sharing this with your dad and now your own children too,
Let us know about the video and your shooting Steve, so are you trying to use the video as your site, will the range be the same as the site range , if you know what i mean
