If you are considering a Tattoo or Piercing, I have found the best place in the Country, Klunky's work is by far the best I have seen out of all the Tattoo parlours I have worked in, Take a look at their web site and you will agree with me, TAT2-U is the place to go if you want the best Tattoo.
I can go even further and say that the sterilization procedures and cleanliness far exceeds the requirements and guide lines set out for the industry. I am a qualified medical devices engineer and specialise in Autoclaves and sterilization procedures for the medical industry. Not only will you be treated with the upmost professionalism, in the cleanest of environments, but Klunky's art work cannot be bettered, you tattoo will be a real work of art.
Would you like a special holiday, where you can shoot and fish all year round ?
A holiday in beautiful Exmoor where your family and your dogs are welcome ?
Clay and vermin shooting all year round ...... and game shooting in season !
~ Freedom to roam the farm with your gun and gun dog, practice your clay shooting, fish in our pond and stay in one of our self catering holiday homes, and your kids can ride the ponies ~
Mick's Guns have the greatest pleasure in introducing to you Mr Richard Hunter. A shooter, gun collector, law abiding gentlemen......... and the greatest You Tuber ever !
I have been friends with Richard for a little over 2 years now, and am constantly staggered by his Real Life series of videos published on You Tube. As of August 2010, Richard has reached Real Life 21 in his series of videos on You Tube.
They tell the story of his fight against drug producers, crooked cops (yes the U.S. has them as well as us) and his struggles with a Drug Producing Benefit Fraudster, who is drawing disability cheques for a bogus back injury, called Pinhead in the wilds of Kentucky.
This criminal however is nothing compared with the Hill Billy Mafia !
Here is Mad Bad Voodoo's Real Life number 1
I am sure you will find the story fascinating, and wonder just how he stays so cool considering his life has been threatened 100 times or so by the criminal Pinhead. After viewing Real Life 1 you can follow the story quite easily by visiting his You Tube channel. Please direct all your friends to this page and allow them to read and follow the ongoing story.
During the latter half of my trail at the Old Bailey, I would glance up into the gallery and see Ken Coopers face.
Ken has been my close friend for 35 years, to see him there supporting my family and myself gave me strength.
Ken was there on the last day when I was found not guilty of all charges and released back into the world.
Ken knows more than anyone how despicably and wrongfully I was treated by Operation Trident.
Regular visitors to Dartford Clay Shooting Club will have no trouble recognising Ken Cooper. Ken is a very keen skeet and sporting shooter, rifleman and former pistol shooter. Ken has been making miniature guns for many years, here are some photos of one of the guns he has made, I hope to be able to publish more photos of the other guns he has made.
Ken makes exact scale copies of the guns, the cases, the powder flask, tool and even the shot !
Compare the pistol with a 12 bore cartridge, and you can appreciate the skill involved.
~ Ken Cooper, a gentleman, skilled engineer, historian and the dearest friend anyone could have. Ken was photographed here on his Birthday at Luckyard Farm. He shot this pheasant on the Cleave as it raced over his head towards the valley. Ken took the bird with his beautiful Adams shotgun, a gun that he has owned for more than 40 years ~
What a fantastic web site !
Here you can print all types of targets for free
Diggory Hadoke is a dear friend, he attended the Old Bailey and testified during my trial. He was Operation Trident's witness to be honest, but told the truth in court, something Operation Trident were incapable of themselves, or expected of him, and the truth he spoke helped vindicate me.
Dig has accompanied me on one of my antique gun trips to America, he is kind, proficient and to be trusted.
We support 100% of what Diggory does for the shooting community.
His new book is called "Vintage Guns for the Modern Shot" and it is featured on our books page.
Special friends can be hard to find in our short lives, Diggory is special, please visit his new web site.
Diggory is a well respected shooting journalist, whose articles and gun tests feature regularly in Sporting Shooter, Gun Mart and The Double Gun Journal. He is also the author of 'Vintage Guns for the Modern Shot' (Merlin Unwin 2007). And co-author, with Mike Yardley, of 'Smoothbore' (due Winter 2007)
Diggory started vintageguns.co.uk because he was constantly being asked to report on guns at London auctions and wanted to simplify the process for his clients. The company has grown from these simple beginnings to encompass a whole range of services for the buyer, collector and owner of British double guns.
~ Dig visits the clay shoot regularly and is happy to answer any questions you may have on vintage guns ~

Mick's excuse was "The filler caps are on the other side on the cars in the UK"
A trip to any of Bass Pro Shops OUTDOOR WORLD stores, will have you crying on your knees...
Why can't we have have sporting shops like these here in the UK ?
Use Form 6 obtainable from U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Telephone the ATF Distribution office 703-455-7801. Have them send 3 copies of Form 6 to you. ( you can put more than 1 gun on a form ) Alternate number - call ATF Information 202-927-7777
As an "Occasional Importer" include following information on Form 6 : "Application to Import" Maker, serial number, gauge, length of barrels and total length of the gun.
Any FFL holder near you may fill out the form. He need not hold an importers licence. YOU are the importer and by law may do so as an "occasional importer" U.S. law requires this be for personal sporting use, indicate this on your application in the appropriate space. All else is self explanatory.
When completed and signed by your FFL holder, mail or Fed EX the form to the ATF. Fed Ex or UPS expedites delivery.
F & E Imports Branch, BATF, 650 Mass Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20226
It may take 6 to 8 weeks for ATF to approve and return your application, it will be stamped NOT FOR RESALE.
Keep the original approved form. Make photocopies to mail or Fax to Mick Shepherd. We suggest you have the guns returned by international mail from England to you. This way they enter the U.S. Postal system, go to a customs facility where they are cleared and then directly to your FFL by mail. Duty, if any, may be paid to the postmaster or mailman. Avoid Air Freight.
Your approved Form 6 copies will be inside the package and in an envelope marked ATTN: U.S. CUSTOMS.
Antique Guns ( made before 1898 ) may be mailed directly to you, no permit required.
