Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Ayup lads! Well after shooting proper sh1t all weekend at the meet and making a fool of myself I have hit rock bottom with my shooting confidence so a trip out tonight was in order to see what I could do now I have my home comforts.. aka 'my tree' that I sit under on 'my range' allowing me to be very steady , rather than lying prone with elbows that hurt and wobbling like a sh1tting dog! so to cut a long story short, went out, decided to take KaTie, was thinking hw95k but thought nah, needed a confidence boost afterall and I can shoot KaTie a lot better than the 95. had a plink about and heres the 10 shot group at 35yds, top left was a wobble by me, the 7th shot, and the first shot impacted low, bad pellet... but still almost in the group. without these 2 shots the main group would be a square about as big as 1/4 of a uk 5p so confidence restored and feeling happy I poped into the farm shed on the way home, and out flys a woodpigeon, which then lands in a tree 40 yards from the tractor I was next to... kneeling shot rested on the tractor, pigeon on a bare branch in the centre of the tree, perfectly safe backstop, the tree's trunk, even if I missed yeah right I thought, im never missing this shot , no wind so the half mildot aimpoint on the scb ret of my mamba lite was placed on the pigeons eye.. squeezed off the trigger and saw the bird fall hard as a rock to the ground, stone dead not even a flap! pellet impacted just above the eye, the bird was facing to my right, and the pellet exited through the back of its head, whilst following the shot through I could see a pellet mark on the tree where I had aimed entry exit thanks for your time. 1 shot SKoT Edited July 18, 2013 by Skot Ruthless Teale 5 Quote Link to post

Daz 7 563 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Fine shooting with the Boinger Skot, We all have bad weekends bud Mine was induced by Alcohol and feeling still pissed the next day. Even shot My lowest ever score on HFT 42 in .22 class, My lowest before that was 49 with the HWKT 97 at My first Meet. But amazingly still came second in .22 class with a 1.5 week old HW100 KT. You'll do better next time and if i can keep away Drinking with Davy then i'll be back up the score board 1 Quote Link to post
