watchman 256 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) well i felt i had to walk my Sunday roast off, so went up the golf course only had about hour before dark so hastily got into some cover near the 14th hole,this hole really suffers from the rabbit damage as its only about 30 yards to the wood line where the holes are dam near impossible to ferret,even with a good harsh winter,as the warrens are amongst a dogwood hedgerow (think that's what its called,long red branches like whips lol). anyway didn't have to wait long for the 1st customer,standard shot really,sitting target at 20 yards,clean kill head shot,over the hour had another couple so not to bad,bit of ferret food for the freezer and few less bunnies for the green keeper to worry about. must admit i was going to get rid of my smk19 .22,just wasn't getting on with it,very inconsistent more bad days than good,yes it was that bad lol,anyway iv stuck with it adjusted the trigger slightly ,the pull was to heavy and i felt i was snatching on the shot, anyway iv put a tin pellets through it now so feels a lot better and iv become more than confident with its my ability to use it,sorry im waffling on now,cheers rob [ Edited September 29, 2010 by watchman Quote Link to post
