  1. I got a vision king, bought it for about 75 squid off ebay, if my memory is right? Lots of em seemed to be silly money, but its more than good enough for air gun ranges & I can get results 300 - 400 yds.
  2. Hi Si. I'm very new to my unit, and gettin used to the ranges is something I'm playing with at the moment. So this might not be very helpful! However, I know there are several spots on my permission where I can see upwards of 150 yds pretty comfortably. The distant tree lines are clear and detail good for spotting...... As long as the mag on my scope is wound down. With the magnification turned up, I'm finding the useable range restricted to about 120 yds or may be less. I'm using a hawke niteye 6-24/50 and I have left the sunshade fitted. I haven't tried to take the sunshade of it, to see ho
  3. Thanks lads. Some good tips there. I was fluffing & kicking the other night cos I should have come home with at least 3 nice rabbits, but got nowt! It's a big open area in places. Most spots i know the range distances very well. I think its just gonna be a case of playing with it & getting used to it. Whizzie
  4. My better half got me a Nitesite NS200, and I'm incredibly impressed with it so far! But bugger me, if I haven't missed some shots, I should have bagged easily! I always go through the pre hunt mandatory zero check etc, checked the pellets are good & undamaged etc. My rifle is an air ranger in .177. It goes to work with the bottle gassed well within the sweetspot etc. It really is a case of judging distance / range to target in darkness... Any tips guys & gals much appreciated, guys and gals!

  5. Gorgeous set up! Enjoy it! I love my ranger, I've got the hawke niteye 6-24/50 with the SR12, I absolutely love it, the only complaint is getting enough time out to enjoy it! Have a great time!
  6. Great shooting & nice footage. Keep em coming!
  7. Hahahahaha!!!! Funniest thing I've seen in a while! Nice one!
  8. Hi Lauben, I'm no expert butcher mate. It's just a whopping big rabbit! Sounds daft, but it is. I never hang game, I'm no a fan of very strong meat, so fresh is best for me. I always aim to have my quarry from field to freezer in under 5hrs, if its a short day in the field. Certainly no less than 12hrs in hot weather. Large quarry like deer need to be bled. If the kills fresh, I just hang it, cut its throat & bleed it out for a couple of hours, if its a day or 2 old, much more care needs to be taken. The main thing is to get the intestines out ASAP & put it in a mesh fly net, to keep
  9. Fabulous! Great days work & great to see the kids getting in there too. Well done on such a great bag!
  10. Great news! Something & nothing, and even if your in the know, and it's an easy job to fix, sometimes it can all go t*ts up, and they'll pin it on you, and wave a bill at you instead of a warranty job. Happy lamping! Hope you get a bag full!
  11. Funnily enough me n my mate were chatting this afternoon, he said he's been round all of his favourite spots & nothin.
  12. I reckon we all have nights like that, from time to time. Persevere. I'm far from as experienced as some of the lads on here. Darkness is both friend and foe. It's hard to judge range at night. This year I've invested in a night vision monocular for the first time. I'm using that to scout for quarry & then using a red filtered lamp to flash em up for the shot at the last minute. However, the NV is x5 mag & I have my scope set on x12 for a 35yd zero. Having the different magnifications is taking some getting used to. The rabbits on my permissions are all gettin lamp shy now. They we
  13. Really enjoyed that guys. Don't know why I actually buy a TV license... #spendsallhistimewatchingyoutubevidslikethistolearnmorewatchagain&learnmore.... :) :)
  14. Cheers Tony, you got any commitments this weekend?
