f.a.o spike25blue, catty

[rossi_j 99]

Well mate, as promised i would let you know when i managed to bag something with the catty i bought of you at the AIR RIFLE MEET,

 

Been practacing a bit, tonite when out with the dog had a nice plump woodie out of a bare tree, could just make its silouete out in the moon light, hanging over a wide stream at about 15 yds, CRACK, Droped straght into the water with one of those 10mm steel balls, gave sky the signal to retreve it, who just looked at me, an with the freezing water who could blame her

 

so after a quick scramble round to find a long stick, i pulled my sogy prize from the bank on the other side of the stream where it had been washed into some tree roots, it was happily recieved by my ferrets upon my return home

 

not strictly an air rifle post, hense just poped it in the general air rifle section an for that i appologise,

 

just felt the need to share this great achievement with others

 

Would have quite happily posted it in the catty section

 

An well atleast its hunting, people post worse crap (no names )

 

.atb lads. .ste. ( hoping i dont get hung )

Thare may have still been just a bit of luck involved

 

Got to be in it, to win it. . . . . as they say,

 

Cheers lads

You say you made a few fry, i find by persevering with the same one as painful and frustrating as it is at times it seems to have paid off for me anyway, had a go with my mates and im miles out, so i think being familiar with the catty your shooting helps in my opinion, im sure there is guys who can shoot with any catty, but they are on a toataly different level imo

 

My advice would be take it everywhere and just have a couple shots everytime your out and eventualy the improvement will be noticable, i am very amature, but thats what i have been doing and seem to be getting there. . . . Slowly lol

Marbles are okay for paper punching, but given the size and weight of them it'l be like starting again.

Stick to the cal and ammo you know Rossi.

Oh and dont waste woodies on the Ferts LOL.

I've not killed anything with a catty yet, but did become very proficiant with tin cans and paper at 10 yards

After weighing in 7Kgs of used pellets and getting barely enough to buy another tin of AAF's I've decided to keep them and recycle them into .44 cal ammo for the catty.

 

This was my 10Yard Catty Range

 

 

Before (Hanging by fishing line)

The backstop was a Tshirt hanging in the shed.

 

 

After

Can't remember how many shots but it was less than 10

 

 

Love shooting catties
