Good shooting Si. Is the bucket still any good

[philpot 4,925]

Funny how a none planned night shooting can turn out well. My pal phoned up last night and we decided to pop to a spot we don't normally bother with but it certainly worked well for me as I had 14 bunnies BUT I lost 5 in the grass, two were within 3 feet of each other but I never found them. I have got to look into some kind of thermal spotter to find them. The fox will have them but that isn't the point, it just pisses me off when I can't find them.

 

Glad you enjoyed a short session with the new beast Si.

cheers

its still bloody windy now, its not let up on the Yorkshire cost for about a week 

[philpot 4,925]

I know what you mean regarding the thump of those pellets hitting home, just love it. Nice going on the partridge Si.

The wind is not constant here which makes it a bit tricky to gauge but not shooting much more than 50-65mts last night so got away with it.

You may be right Mitch ............................................................................................................................. but you are not !!!

 

I was toying with buying one of the many thermal cameras on ebay just to find lost bunnies but none of them say what the working range is. I am pretty sure we can get within a relatively short distance so it is just to make the final location of the shot quarry without glaring headlights to scare off every other rabbit for miles.
