    Your post suggests that if a man dislikes a dog which stalks the lamp then he is numbers orientated and not in it for the sport? Maybe I've read you wrong. But I don't think that's true at all. Some lads don't mind and some lads do. Regardless of why they are in the field. I do it for the love of the sport. But numbers DO come into it from time to time. I don't think that makes me any less in love with the sport? I'm happy to go out and get 4s and 5s local. But now and again I like to travel further afield and I go out with the sole intention of getting big numbers. And if I am somewhere wh

    In stalking rabbits I'm not on about the dog on his belly dragging himself to the rabbit I'm on about a slow to medium canter upto the squatting rabbit ??? I mean come on your all big men how many times has your dogs belted up the beam only to over shoot by 20 mile or the rabbit leaving it's seat and running to the dog again over running ,it's good to watch and pleasing you that your dog has just made a very big mistake ! It's not isit for having the lamp on to long I disagree flashing the lamp on and off all the time would Spook the rabbits more and love stock in the field than keeping it on

    It depends on the reason why your, some like my self do it for the love of the sport , some for a living but you get some who couldn't give a toss the more rabbits they get the more cash in hand they get drone back street sales !! Nothing against it at all before the knockers start ! for me and many like me, just love been out lamping, ferrting or even with the gun it's not about the numbers it's about been there at what ever time or place doing what you love if my dog stalks it's because he has a plan if he kills it's a good plan if not he will learn from his mistake and for battery's I just

    Try the mirror trick the cross hairs will have a shadow you will see them move when you move the turrets to move shadow xh in line with the true xh . I thought the same about the spring but a local gun smith showed me this and when done they were like new

    The flat out over run pisses me off the way I see it the dogs there to catch rabbits any way the dog feels best,as long as it's a catch his job is done it's our job to lamp and decide if it's worth the chance to run the dog so not to put the dog at risk now that's team work in my eyes men ' what you need to remember is your dogs do all the running not you (unless the police n gamekeeper come ) lol

    It's class even when the chase looks lost, the rabbit sometimes slowes before the headge just for a second then boom a unexpected burst of speed from you're dog and it's made the the kill , truth first 2 , 3 even 4 time I thought pure luck ,but then I noticed he was doing it all the time on headge hugging rabbits I thought to myself this pups got a talent comes back with the rabbit alive to hand then cocks his leg for a piss and pisses all over his front legs I just sat and laughed

    The dogs just using it's brains , instead of flat out down the lamp the rabbit turns and gets away , but stalk the lamp and force the rabbit into making the first move the the burst of speed And easy kill !! Best way forward the more energy saved the better the hunt ATB mark

    Simple fix mate in a light room get a small mirror place the front lenze on it now look through as if taking a shot , you will see a shadow of the cross hair now simply ajust the turrets to realign the cross hair that should sort your problem hope this helps
