    Im not worried at all about shooting, my main problem is telling the missus i cant get out of her hair for a day. Il lock her up.with this packham fella she will shove a pigeon up his rear end and make him her biatch just so she can clean the house why im not in

    How about we park a wagon on the m6 sideways and not move it until we can go shooting. Maybe someone might listen then

    Hi i havent been shooting the 17 for that long, i have noticed however that it can be a fussy little thing on ammo. Bought 500 hornady when first bought the gun. Zero near perfect. Ran low on ammo so bought another 200 hornady, went out with it week later couldnt hit a barn door at 100 yards. Re zerod it with that box and shot perfect with the rest of the 200. Came back to my old ammo and was shooting a foot away. Rezero and perfect ever since. Just shows how fussy these are even with the same ammo never mind different named ammo thats out there. Best thing ive found, stick to one make,

    Sorry if it is in the wrong topic, Hi guys i am a shooter who is after a ferret. Any in or around st helens area that is breeding this year? I would like to purchase one. Must be a kit. No big old hobs that will take me and my dog on at the same time. As young as poss can. If you are breeding and want a couple of rabbit and pigeon to feed the little mites on whilst they are growing up i can call round with some on a sunday and wednesdays (depending if i get anything)

    Thanks alsone i understand how people have different opinions and that it did get a bit over the top of facts on what people read instead of what of people know and tested. Thats why is started this thread as all i could find is people sayint that a ricochet can wipe an army of a million out at 100 miles away. I know know that it is down to the shooter and the lay of his individual land. Ive been out with the lr 2day and fired another 100 rounds and not one rick, although im not saying it will never hapen but my shooting style lowers the chance of it hapening. I again thank everyone who h

    Well after yesterday i realise that if shooting high up and shooting into the floor with nothing or nobody around you within a good distance it is unlikley that a bullet can travel far after a solid impact on quarry then into earth then upwards it wont have much energy to reach very far. As for these scary storied of them traveling a million miles after a ricochet and taking the head off elephants must be by people who dont understand the bullet and power that they produce. Shot it at targets on the field stood up and didnt get a single ricochet thats out of 75 shots at 60 yards

    Well guys i think in my situation i am safe to say that today i have tried to get a ricochet only for my confidence in my shooting a new calibre at different ranges. Dont get me wrong i wont be shooting a rabbit in the middle of a field at 100 yards off the bipod. I think the ricochet problem is in fact of people not knowing their land and shallow angles shot at will throw any bullet up in the air and i will always be shooting in a downward position make to them chances lower. I know that all shots are different but i dont think i have a problem of a ricochet going more than 1000 yards

    Well guys ive been out with the 22lr and well after a quick zero into a box of old bedding i had a little play with the 22. I started off at 50 yards as that was my zero range, i was shooting off the bipod against a sshhiittt infront of the pile aiming 3 ft infront at beetroot parsntps and spuds (floor was frosty) safe backstop check, i let rip. I didnt get no zinging noises, no shhitt getting thrown up in the air or any movement around the target. I stood up and shot off sticks and still no zinging noises no movement around. So... Test 2 came along lay down on bipod had a piece

    Hi meece thanks for that. Ive got planty of amo, an fac air i need to zero and a huge pile of shhht i can shoot into. Im going tomorrow to see how i shoot the 22lr and how it is on my land (recently ploughed nice soft soil) if i set up just in front of the pile i have a safe backstop as it must be 20 ft high and about 70 yards long bang on in the middle of my field miles away from anyone. And can see for 800 yards all around me. I dont think i can get much safer than that with any cal rifle. Ive got a few things i can try as ive got some plasterboard, inch plywood, a fridge and some steel shee

    Thanks you guys for a lot of good reading, i am going to put a few theorys to test and see what happens to the bullets fiering at different ranges. I can build a big box around a target and see what happens as i think after hitting a hard object it will lose a lot of power and will be tumbling more than going to be like a bat out of hell ripping through anything in its way. I know people have a lot of opinions in this world and i know that at the end of the day it is me pulling the trigger. An without knowing the round (in a field experience) i do with an air rifle and really getting on w

    I was looking at the t bolt before i bought my cz and a mate of a mate had one and it kept jamming and as he pushed the bolt forward it went off. I dont think for the price you can beat a cz

    I love it, i shot my dads 12 month [BANNED TEXT] getting mine and it demolishes anything i go to shoot. Is that a 22 that you are holding? Sak mod syn stock and 16" barrel? It looks like my 17
  17. Davetyler
    Glad i got out before the snow, managed 3 myself yesterday with 17hmr.
  18. Davetyler
    Btw as for your mate alsone, dont mean no disrespect or dont take it the wrong way and i know that i aint no chris kyle but im glad i shoot on my own most of the time and he obviously didnt think before he pulled that trigger. This is why i am asking the question to get knowlage from different people with different experience with the 22lr. I went out with the 17 yesterday and managed 3 headshot bunnies at 140 yards plus

    Thanks for that walshie, i was wondering how many times ive read the statements in the past 12 month lol As for the information people have given me i thank you all for your opinion. I am out on sunday with the rifle to have a play with it as nobody around for atleast a mile around me. Dont take it the wrong way i wont be shooting upwards but i have a fridge im gonna shoot into and see what the outcome is. Like meece says il try and work it out. Ive got plywood and plasterboard to try a few ricochet theory out and il let people know how i get on

    Thanks for the information alsone, my land doesnt have any grass on it its all ploughed and i have been wondering about with my 12g yesterday and looking at different parts of the field, in a rut where the tractor has been how its raised up on one side i noticed a rabbit 76 yards out i noticed behind the rabbit was mud about 6" above the rabbit, in my eyes that is a backstop, can anyone share some light and agree with me or tell me i am wrong.
  21. Davetyler
    This is why i ask questions. i know most are genuine people but in my eyes asking people for knowlage is better than risking everything i have by the pull of one finger. Some people might think i am being a wuss and there no way it can travel that far and people who have replied i am gaining knowlage of all aspects and appreciate the advice given. If people wont share information then this sport will die. Think about it how did you learn, i bet it wasnt pull you rifle up and shoot at something.
  22. Davetyler
    Thanks walshie i think il stick to shooting the 17 infront of the canal wall. If i dont know where that little begger is going i aint pulling that trigger
  23. Davetyler
    Thanks for that walshie. I am not saying i will try it and see where the bullets go but at the angles i am shooting at into soft soil say yards away do you think it would ricochet more than 1000 yards. It is a fair way to travel. I have read on other sites and seen an explination vid on youtube by a certain shooter who shoots off a bipod on about backstops and he says that ricochets over egsadurated

    Hi to whoever is reading. Collected a 22lr yesterday as my land is passed for it. Anyhow ive had a hmr for a few weeks and after a lot of playing woth it i shot a rabbit at 140 yards and what a mess. I have watched a few vids on utube and the angles people shoot, the distance and the ground. My fields are fairly flat only a few places i would shoot infront of a canal wall. What are peoples opinions on shooting on flat land. My fields are 300 yards wide and aroumd 800 long so in my opinion i dont know if its right but thats why i am asking before making a mistake. There is a f
