chris1wg 24 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 well went onto my mates farm on sunday to try out my new air arms s410 carbine in 177 using the aa fields, well got to one of the barns and there was 5 aw 6 pidgeons on one of the rafters, got one into my sights and TWACK dropped stone dead. first kill with my aa so she aint a virgin no more but as i shot that one the rest just flew out, lucky escape. same happend in the next barn with the other pidgeon. looked outer one of the peep holes and seen this corvid about 40 yards in the tree, placed the sight half mildot holdover and twack another head shot. upon walking up the fields had a peep over one of the edges and there was a rabbet about 15 meters away. and i dont know what the hell happened i missed i was kicking my self all day after that, never mind was a good day i enjoyed and looking forward for abit of lamping on friday then down to a new bit of permission i aint tried yet saturday aw sunday to see what i can bag, happy hunting Quote Link to post
