Had a little mooch last night around the stables for an hour or so.

No soon as load the CZ I see my first target for the night, only been there 5 minutes.

It caught sight of me and bounced off, I thought it would be well gone, but oh no.

Popped my head around the side of the stable and there it was, sat perfectly up right no more than 20 yards away.

I got my self positioned to shoot through the fence and then let the trigger finger go.

Next thing thud, nice little head shot??

Cracking mate, keep at them, did she get round to asking the others around her if you can get on there land

No not yet mate?

Doesn’t seem to be many about now at the stables, seen one in the long grass and it bolted and seen a little scrapper.

Will still keep popping up though?

Might have another stables after the summer?

At the moment there is 70 horses in the fields. He said ring him later in the year??

My eyes popped out of my head like a cartoon character ?

That’s because you have executed them all, you monster ?

you have got to keep showing your face I’m sure more will come from up there

my mates not far off starting to combine so get your ammo stocked up because it could be a bunny bonanza in a few weeks?

Yeah definitely still popping up, those little scrappers will soon grow?

Hope it doesn’t fall on my standby, we both know how that pans out??

We’ll normally get a couple of weeks at them before it’s ploughed in, it’s always good for a bit of summertime foxing, I was out at sproxton last night and called in the biggest dog I’ve seen up there the bugger just wouldn’t come off the skyline for a safe shot

Hopefully when I’m off me jollies we can have a look in northallerton guns?

When does your shoot start at Sproxton?

Any room for a trainee beater if not on call??

Good stuff?? Would definitely like to get into beats and whenever possible the shoots. Need to sort my Shotgun issue out ASAP?

Will give you a bell when back off me jollies to see what your up to

      Hello all.?
      Just an update as it has been a while.I have been looking for a subsonic .22LR hollow point that shoots well from a cold clean bore and have recently started using RWS subs which do well, typically from the first shot..I have used a few different brands of subsonic H.P.s and they all group quite well after 5 or so fouling shots, but RWS like the cold clean bore,needless to say I am a happy and for me, decent shooting.?.I have used the RWS before in the old Annie 1416 DG and it was equally consistent in that rifle.
      A couple of typical below all from a cold clean bore..My scope is a Hawke Vantage x2 -x7 32mm A.O. with illuminated reticle which is a great field scope but lacks magnification for target shooting so is sometimes difficult to deduce if a shot has been pulled, but I love the scope.
      Have a good weekend all.?

      Well I got 2 unused table clamps and a need for stability. 
      Cant afford the new style tripods <on furlough pay>,so I thought make your own. So drill n tap m10x1.5 in the base of said bracket .
      Cut 2 pieces 7.5x3.5cm steel plate and fix to clamp .Drill hole and fit split pin to stop wind out in turnscrew. Then cut leather patches to fit and bond with contact adhesive, allowing 24 hours  to cure and Bob's your job.
      Stable, free and hands free atb

      Friday night thought i,d have a pre pheasant delivery fox mooch .Pardnv 007 on a Hawke Vantage 3-12x50 on top of a cz452 in,22.l/r but with CCI segs in for mr charles .
      Also my spanish pal wanted some bunnies for the b,b,q <his fault the weather,s gone pooh>so the segs  do both ,set off about 10.30pm in squalid dirty patchy fog but i thought helps me to hide and the thermal spotter keeps mr charles in view .4 frustrating hours later old charley boy is a no show so back to the car i stomp.
      Suddenly a suicidal rabbit just pops up from his hole and stares at this big lump in the fog ,well at 10yds even this blind old blinker couldnt miss ,the Pard,s clear unfuzzy picture is sweet and no 1 is bagged after gutting . A nice size buck <meal for 2 > carry on plodding .
      Across the meadow towards the gate a small blobb is being chased by a horny blobb so i put the rifle up and the doe is no 2 for the bbq .Gutted and bagged back to the car i trots.
      Wish id got this sooner its far superior to Photon and sony camera or hawkes own monocular for image quality and range atb and good hunting

      Got chance to test Gavs balls this afternoon! That sounds all wrong!!
      The balls Gav kindly cast and sent me I mean.
      I used an old sign that's lay in the grass for years. Take a look and I will explain.

      I was aiming for the P at 30yds.
      The two shots close to the P and the shot just above them two were the best load chain today. The high one was the aiming, I was seeing to much barrel and the following two responded perfectly to my adjusted hold.
      The other three were a different load and unsatisfactory.
      In saying that the sign easily represents a small deers chest and all six shots would of killed a deer!
      With the good load I should be able to hunt rabbit with.
      Here is the reverse side of the target.

      I love this fusil, it has a fast lock and gets good speed up.
      Got some squirrel with shot too.

      Cheers  Gav, now I know it's worth getting a mould.
