pest hunter 151 15 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited February 24, 2010 by pest hunter 151 Quote Link to post

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. All in all a good day. hi pest mate some cracking shooting there buddy well done what rifle you using im interested only because the distances you were shooting at 24yrd 42yrd and 54yrd with my gun i have to apply hold over/under i cant do what you did and put the cross hairs on the head for every distance nice shooting again mate atb gary Edited February 21, 2010 by festa Quote Link to post
