bigmac 97kt 13,842 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Me and viz set off at 4pm to get to the farm before dark the tree,s were full of crows and viz was the first to get his rifle set up . He then took out three of the crows by the time i got mine set to go lol they all fecked off before i got the chance to have a go but walking past one of the barns i saw a feral pigeon sitting up in the rafters so i placed the cross hairs on it and let a bis mag go it fell in with the cows so could not retrieve it By know darkness was setting in as we hit the fields viz went one side and i the other i took out a hair at 40yrds one shot one kill i could just about see it with the light that was left in the sky and a cracking shot it was to out like a light , When i met viz at the top of the field he had two hairs and a rabbit we could of got more hairs but the light was gone and darkness was in . Mind we did not get any thing else we fitted the lamps and off we went but nothing was about . so we called it a day and headed home no pics lads my phone was low and for some reason it eats the battery when taking pics and as most of you know about my wife i needed to keep the phone charged in case it happened again . atvbmac :thumbs: 7 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,360 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 No need Mac - it's good to see it doing what it should be doing ....can't beat confidence in your kit ..... I did like it a lot but, I never wanted to take it out in case I marked it I know what you mean about them distances - it always seems longer when I walk back. Especially the time I just kept stalking in the dark and fog and I got disoriented - I turned a half mile walk back into a 2 hour search for the car 3 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,568 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Nice read Mac and nice to see you thoroughly enjoying your shooting again. As said, confidence in your kit is everything and it looks like you have certainly got that back. Well done mate . P.S. I know you haven`t used them this time but can you send my hare and rabbit photos back. ----------------------------------------------- Mitch wants to borrow them you see . atb, Mark. 2 Quote Link to post
