A Day to Cheer me up

[pest hunter 151 15]

After an unsuccessful lamping session with some realy lamp shy rabbits sataday night. I decided to go out with my friend shooting on his permission, he took the feilds and i took the woods. after being in the woods only 5 min i saw a rabbit at 24 yard by a tree, so I leaned on a tree and put the cross hairs in the middle of the rabbits head and that was the first for the soup . after a long walk around the wood I found another rabbit but this time 42 yards, so i put the cross hairs on its head again an sqeezed the trigger and that was rabbit nom 2 down. While collecting the 2nd rabbit I spotted a woody in a tree about 54 yards away and quickly shot it just behind the eye. It dropped like a sack of sh*t. then on the way back to the car there was a pigeon on the telephone line from the farmers house so shooting towards the field (not the road) I shot it in the crop and it just fell without a twitch. All in all a good day.

Walking through the wood to go meet up with my mate again I came across a cock pheasant and asked my mate if I was aloud to shoot it. He said yes the farmer will have that for tea, so I shot the pheasant in the crop and it ran about 5 foot and kealed over stone dead . then on the way back to the car there was a pigeon on the telephone line from the farmers house so shooting towards the field (not the road) I shot it in the crop and it just fell without a twitch.

Nice shooting mate is your gun FAC? Had 5 hen pheasants in the garden today had to withhold my self as pheasant season has closed I think and I got told off last year for shooting one out of season woops. Sounds like a great day though well done.

Sounds like fun but really don't shoot stuff out of season

[air gunner 0]

Well you can only really make a mistake once and the lad did ask. Can't argue with his top notch shooting.

yes the only hold over/under i need is knowing were to aim on the head i aim at the top of the head if it long shot or bottom if it is short distance never needed hold over/under on a .177
