  9. First Blood For My New S410

    in Airgun Hunting

    Posted · Edited by Jono_g

    Well I finally decided to treat myself to an air rifle after a good few years without one. I decided on the s410 super lite hunter,beautiful gun and I love it. Well after a few weeks of getting to know her and shooting as many targets as I could I decided this afternoon I'd try the rabbits on my ferreting perm,arrived at about 16.00 which is a bit early but needed to be home for something. I walked the boundary of one of the fields and didn't see much about so decided to find a likely looking spot and sit it out. About 45mins in and I saw movement to my left, slowly moved the rifle into position and ranged the bunny at just on 52 meters,I took out my range cards (a bit of a geek) and set up for the shot,squeezed the trigger and the unmistakable thwack followed. I walked over and there she was,stone dead. The pellet didn't exactly hit where I aimed,a touch low but I'm over the moon anyway. I'll try upload a pic as soon as I'm near my laptop.

    Also want to thank you lads because I've been lurking here for ages and reading as much as I can and the knowledge on this site has helped me a ton. Cheers lads

    Great dogs for bushing and marking holes, I've got these 2, pure Patterdale bitch and Patterdale cross staff dog, the Patterdale cross staff is an excellent companion, he knows where the stuff I've shot is before me; best dog I've ever had, never worked them with ferrets but great on the rabbits

    Cheers mate,lovely looking dogs there. Can't wait to see how he turns out,but not gonna rush it.

    Hi all,just a little update, little Impi(pub) has been introduced to the ferrets for the last 4 days,he has been spot on to be honest which surprised me as I showed him a rabbit I got two weeks ago and his whole attitude changed,he wanted it. He is also really obedient and knows to fetch and will bring it to me when told.

    I've put lots of work in with him and lots of play as well which he knows are two different things. I know he hasn't been out yet and that will be the test but so far I'm made up. I'll be taking him out with me for some walks etc from tomorrow and see how we get on.

     

    All the best
