Checklist for Pred

Fiach Dubh

I was thinking we should have a consolidated thread for costs, times, what gear to bring, etc. I have a few questions myself.

I assume Predator has a supply of water so we can fill Camalbacks?
What's the site cost. Half day or full day?
Anybody know Predators policy on knives. Must be left in safe zone (I know some Northern sites allow this) or not allowed at all?
Is there a secure place for leaving gear that might not be used?

Spitfire666

Not too sure about water supply but mot people stop at a nearbuy petrol station and buy drinks/food and water for hydro packs.

15GBP for walk-on and either 30 or 35GBP for rentals. Never been to a half day so i dont know. its on their website im sure though.

no knives in the game area.

No lockers if thats what you mean but there are large tents and grab you a bunk for your gear. get a corner for all boards people to put their gear is the safest option. wont loose anything (i know how ironic that sounds lads, no need to point it out).

They don't have a tap up there, you need to bring bottled water.
The odd time they might have a spare bottle lying around but not usually I think.

If you want to be sure your stuff is safe, leave it in the car/bus.
I never do (no car), I put my bikekeys, wallet etc, in my webbing in a medic pouch with a zip. (String on keys to webbing so even IF it would fall out, its still attached to your webbing.)

Hope this helps.

Digital Camera

All my gear is in a sports bag. It's fat as hell and weighs a ton Beta and mags are in a gun bag. Looks like I'll have to just wrap the 74 in something, too big for my sports bags

Spitfire666

If you have a bank card they usualy work in the ATM machines. My Bank Of Ireland card works anyway. there is also a post office that opens at 9 about 20 mins from the site that change money.

I forgot to get BB's from BFSL so i'm gonna need to get some up there as i wont be in dublin until late tomorrow and he wont be there.

I might be taking a DVD Video camera with me aswell.

Its a great gun so far. Changed the plug over so it can take 'normal' batteries.
The batt that comes with it is pretty ****e, doesn't really hold its charge.
I got a 8.4 2000mah batt for a tenner on ASI, and the 2000mah ups the ROF as well.
Mine shot through a coke can both sides.
Not sure about the accuracy, haven't been able to test it yet.
Got a ACOG reddot sight for it, but with a red cross instead of a dot (redcross sight???) Looks very well.
Have some garnish on it as well, kinda bit like a marksman look.
The hop on these might be a bit temperamental, but once you find the right spot its suppost to be dead on.
So far I love it. Grand gun, especially for the money. Including shipping it cost me about 130 euro's.
Also got spare Hi caps with it, came i yesterday just in time for the b'day shoot. If you are going, come over to me and have a look if you want.

Edit: And even if it breaks, it'll be a nice wall ornament, and a project gun.
Besides I'd just buy a new one.

You can change money at the border.

Fiach Dubh

Just checked the weather for tommorow. Frost and any fog clearing tomorrow morning to give another dry day with good sunshine, though fog may be slow to clear from some inland areas. Highest temperatures of 6 to 9 degrees with light southerly breezes.

Looks like it'll be a good day for a game

They give the worst rate you've ever seen. Save it for banks/post offices not those dodgy places!

EyesOnly

does the post office do it free up their?

Edit: dont ask me how i put drop instead of do, might be cos i was looking for a drop leg holster

Fiach Dubh

Is 06.30 at the spire locked in for tommorow? I'll have to get a taxi, don't want to be late.
