Morning foray


Recommended Posts

Got out early today to get some fresh food for my nest of 10 stinkers.

Managed to find this one in a 'set aside'

It was 'paced' at 44 yds from where i stood and took the freestanding shot!

Was quite windy and needed 1 mil dot over and about same to the right for the wind!

Was well chuffed.

Did manage another at the farm yard but not as impressive as this.

An exit hole at that range? Wow FAC? or just a small kit?

 

Looks like a young un, half grown maybe :yes:

 

Cracking shot placement in wind :clapper: I wanted to go, but we've had it very gusty here today so stayed in :(

Best way is either reduce file size or upload to a photobucket account and use the img code to link to it :thumbs:

Si - Phantom,

 

The rabbit was 3/4 grown if not adult!

I was a bit shocked myself at the result!

Will try to sort the 'exit' pic to prove the point.

The rifle is a Titan Manitou in .22 and is doing 11.75 / 8 over the chrony with air arms field 5.52's.

Had a 'conversation' with Si re the weight of pellets etc a few days back!

Looking at the pic of the gun has just tempted me to do a stock re finish and get rid of that 'factory' gloss finish

Prob is no spare gun and hate not being able to use it!

I have a friend who shoot a lot of field target comps.

He is taking bunnies regurlarly at 60yds with his HW100 in .177.

Its got all gizzmos on it for his target shooting.

He talks of rangefinding etc etc as he sits and waits a lot.

I never get time to do all that its usually a brisk ish walk round the farm early am and if I see one I shoot it! Also never get time at night for all that dialing in shite!
