nice shooting mate! those pics of you shooting out of that gap, was that in a hide? also can you eat the pigoens and pheasent as they look real tasty.

 

Yes you can eat them. The pigeons are a little small, gave them to the farm workers. But i have the fesants in the freezer

 

Yes we are in a hide. Its about 2.2m off the ground. The water holes are roughly 30m from the hide.

 

Roger!

The pheasants look a little like guinea fowl in colour.

Nice going Roger and friends

 

I so envy you guy's with all that sun and warmth

 

The pic that interested me is the one with the plate around the eyebell of the socpe, very neat idea that, going to do one for mine in the cemetery I am often shooting into the direction of the sun and the light reflects of my glasses reducing contrast, dont know why I didn't think of it before.

They almost do, but they are less than half the size of the full grown G-fowl here.

We took the scope cap that comes with the Nikko's on the front, took out the yellow glass. Cut an empty DVD case and used Qbond to stick the 2 together.

 

It does work well,

Roger!

1, what temperature is it over there at the moment? *** at the moment we are experiencing a cold front. The weekend it was 22-26 deg C in the afternoon. The evenings were around 4-6 deg C.

 

2, dose it affect your PCP rifle's in anyway? *** Yes, the pressure battles to go full power. But we put the cylinder in the sun, then a 200 bar bottle gives about 210 bar...

 

3, what ftlbs are you using? *** Rifles used below:

 

.177 Hatsan MOd 70 - Been tuned and lubed with custom trigger - 904fps with AA Field 8.44gr pellets

.177 Gamo Hunter 440 - Tune & Lube, GasRam, VT-1 trigger - 780fps with AA Field 8.44gr pellets

.177 Hatsan AT44 Single shot, synthetic stock with silencer - I havent cronied it but other guys from ZA that have claim around 1100fps with AA Field 8.44gr pellets and around 950 - 1000fps with JSB Heavies 10.2gr pellets.

.22 AA S400 pushing the JSB Jumbo 15.8gr pellets at 980fps

 

Cheers,

Roger!
