Hide Time

[mark williams 7,568]

Treated myself to a new hide set up, shooting sticks, jack pyke bucket seat, new J.Pyke hide poles etc,etc, and went down to my permission with the HW 100 kt 177 to watch and learn the pigeon habbits.

I left the rifle behind at the farm to "concentrate" on the pigeons and their habbits firstly and after a good hour and a half went and picked the HW 100 KT up and returned to my chosen hide spot and waited.I was presented with two shots and took both with heart/ lung at a good 45 yds, both just folded and were despatched the moment the Air Arms Field struck (with no hide set up ) just free standing in every day clothes . Back tomorrow though " with all the gear".

Guys could anyone recommend a good air rifle range finder please.

Hawke 400 mate, it's the cheapest u can get (off amazon) goes up to 400 yards an mine gets left everywhere crawled over stalked with and it is awesome, don't shoot without it now, the 600 is a bit more but why need the more yards I say?

Well guys set the new hide out and used my HW 100 KT .177 and new shooting sticks.

I folded up six wood pigeons with heart/lung shots at 30 - 40 yds, then three Magpies one after the other while they cackled and cackled at the first shot Magpie, the speed of reload on modern pcp`s is lethal in these situations.

The seventh pigeon shot I think I can class as outstanding HW 100`s accuracy, it was perched behind branches for about 5 min`s and I couldn`t take a shot, all you could see was the bottom half of its body. It seemed to settle and started to preen itself but when it preened its rear at a stretch the top half of its head presented itself from behind twigs.The shot was taken and ended millimetre perfect such is the accuracy of these guns.

Seventh pigeon in the bag , using AA field Diablo at approx.` 40 yds.
