Thanks guy's

 

Wurz did you read about the day I was at the cemy and the robin lead me to the gravestone?

 

That was sooooooo weird!

Lesley's mam always said she was going to come back as a robin

 

Have a read of this

Archie, my trigger finger is getting better but as soon as I stop with the cream, its back to cracking and bleeding

 

The meet weekend was murder on my trigger finger I'd picked up a tube of E45 instead of the cream with the local anesthetic in it. Every shot was painfull as was every pellet loading, I could have cried. I think it was the blood on the trigger that made me win LOL

Wow, could do with a couple of lessons from you

 

What do you shoot Dillon? Springer, PCP or Rammer?

 

PCP's are deffinately the easiest to shoot. I taught myself to shoot using a springer at the traveling fun fares at Old Goole Gala and others.

 

Had a break for over 20 years and then a mouse got me into seriously accurate shooting (a mouse brain is pretty small, no wonder I missed it!)

I currently own a HW 100 multishot PCP and a BSA multishot T10 PCP.

HW a little heavy for my liking, knocks hell out of my biceps carrying it about stalking, I suffered injuries a few years back with torn muscles, lifting too much. Just getting to know my BSA as I purchaced it recently

Both of those guns are easily capable of much longer than the "Normal" ranges.

 

Have a look at Zini's posts, it was his shooting that inspired me to begin to believe in my own capabilities as a Marksman and since then I've not looked back. 99 times out of a hundred, I will begin my shooting session with paper targets out at 35 yards. If I dont put all (or most of) the lead within the 20pence piece I give up and go home for the day.

 

When I'm on form I do this with a .22 (sorry its the same old example, but its the only one I took the time to photograph)

 

35 yards on my zero.

 

Practice Dillon and you will find that your range will extend by much further than you thought possible

Nice write up Phanton, SPA.

 

Its funny what you see when shooting somethings. Twice now when ive been in my back garden permission and seen a woodpecker. And in the woods i normally see a black bird that is totally bald in the head, looks like a mini vulture lol

Thanks for advice Phantom, not blowing my trumpet but I too can hit targets like this in practice sessions and zeroing in, wont leave it alone until all ten shots are within a two penny size circle. Its when Im in the field I need to improve on, namely distance estimating, just looked at a posted thread and it is clear that range finders will help improve my bag sizes, think im gonna go for zinis choice JSR GunTuff LRF

 

Edited to say, well not quite as good as that, just saw 35yrds within a 5p piece

Thanks John,

 

I'd love to see that, bet it looks awsome

 

I used to have a Blackbird in the garden that has 'white feathers' on its head, we used to call her (didn't have a yellow beak) sh!t head LOL.

Lovely bird, that was one of a brood of chicks a few years back that would come up to us and take food out of our hands in the garden.

 

Not been so lucky since then though, they all seem to keep their distance now

An LRF is certainly a good investment

 

I've only had a mine a few weeks and its proved its worth its weight in platinum

 

You won't have chance to laze each and every shot though.

I got mine for ranging various spots in my fire-zone.

Couple an LRF with your scope and CGP, and it makes a superb rig.

Makes a lot of things so much easier and of course helps you learn distances across varying terrain.

 

Si (Zini) does not need an LRF, he IS ONE

 

A few weeks ago, I was shooting with him and he mentioned a spot of chalk on a hill and said "What doe's your LRF make that over there?"

 

I asked him what he thought it was and he said something line 497 meters. I swapped my LRF from Yards to meters and Si was within 3 meters of the centre of the chalk :boogie:

 

How he does that I have NO idea, his skill in rangefinding is amazing, truely amazing
