first blood


Recommended Posts

zerod the scope on my 80 yesterday (which took a bit of work) once it was sorted we sed blue tac made it roughly the size of a baby rabbits head and i was putting pellets tightly into the blue tac at 27 yards(the length of the old abandoned sports hall we used)

 

got a phone call from a mate who works for a security firm bout loads of ferral pigeons on a site he checks out and another mate works on.

 

waited for darkness and off we went.

 

got there bout 10:40 an hit the first barn straight away, there were hundreds! first blood was down to me with the 80 bout 30 yards a sleeping pigeon. rested the cross hairs on its head and BANG! flutter,thud it was a gonner and you couldnt take the smile off my face! we managed another 6/7 in this first barn but my mate was using a rat catcher and it was spooking them so we moved on and he ran out of gas.

 

the second barn had more skyrats than the first and when we where finished the floor was litterd with feathers and bodies but my mates bully had a good go at clearin them up(it actually tried to put them all in a pile)

 

all in all we counted 57 of these winged rats, what a night and what a gun!!

 

with the aid of my home made shooting staick the 80 was unstoppable the only misses where down to shooter error but i do see what you guys mean when you talk about the weight of this rifle so as i said before i improvised a shooting stick because i knew it would be shooting upwards all night it was a fishing landing net pole with a rod rest attachment in the top and it worked wounders as a steady(ish) platform!!!!

 

 

thanks for reading anyway guys!
