    It was fine out to about 40 yds but then shooting noticeably high. For example I shot at a rabbit at around eighty yards off the bipod , took my time and knew I was 100 % perfect on it only to see bullet strike high ...really frustrating. I then shot at another rabbit about the same distance off my sticks but aimed just under it and knocked it over ......

    Yesterday evening saw me having another outing with the HMR. A few fields cut but not many rabbits about as I was expecting .As the light started to fade a few more were showing but still not the numbers I had expected. I am still getting used to this rifle but found missed quite a few shoots with the rifle shooting high. The rifle is only zeroed at around 30 yards as I read that a 25 yard zero equals an 1/2 drop at 100 yds ....not what I found . I was shooting at a few rabbits at between eighty and 100 yds and missed every one over the top so next 100 yarder I aimed very low and h

    Good luck Tim . I wouldnt pay £330 to shoot a 6 pointer but I suppose plenty might ?

    Seeing as I cant legally buy ammo I dont think I could receive it from anyone else as they would just let me buy it in the first place. Strangely though I can stock up before my extension ends and use it legally .....the whole thing is crazy. Just wish I had my certs just for peace of mind as it has just been lingering on in my mind for 6 months now...?

    Beggars belief mate , it's a straight forward renewal with no changes etc. Had FAC 35 years ....its a joke ?

    Just emailed them to ask for a timescale ....reply was no idea but will be months not weeks...I despair ?

    Just received a voicemail from FEO saying that as my extension expires on 13 July he has issued temporary permits now which means I can still use my guns legally but not allowed to buy any ammo. What is going on , my renewal has been in since January ?

    Well after getting home from the pigeons my mate messaged to say are you coming out tonight. So off I went over to his and up to his ground. Still windy so not ideal but nice to be out . Saw 3 does and 1 spiker buck who just evaded us by slinking into a wood..... I then decided to check out a gulley where I know is a decent buck , the light was fading now but I spotted a fox trotting along the opposite bank so I told my mate to get ready on sticks as I needed to stop it before it disappeared. The obligatory OI stopped it in its tracks and my mate dropped it at around 120 yds ...

    I tried for those woodies today but the wind spoilt the day. The only place I could set up was with the wind wrong so I had a 20 mph wind in my face blowing the hide all over and really annoying me.? The birds wouldnt decoy and were screaming over very high with the wind up their arse.... I never shot very well either but did pull off some crackers too ? Managed 26 in the end but couldn't pick most of them due to dropping in cover. Anyway beats sitting in the house ?

    Throw my name in the hat mate ?

    Looks like a brilliant night .... Obviously got a big fox problem, no numbers like that round here. Saving a lot of ground nesting birds ?
  24. FOXHUNTER
    I've just checked out some barley fields and its nice and milky now. There was about 200 woodies dropping in to a flat patch so will give it a go tomorrow ?
  25. FOXHUNTER
    If you want to try for some foxes tonight give me a ring mate ?
