Guest Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well it all started on Friday after Grandad drove all the way up the M6 to pick up my new night vision (Thank you ) The night vision was a Starlight Arrow with a firefly on the top,i set it up on my gun at Grandads house and found there was no scope bushes in the box so i made my own from sticky tape. I then mounted the fire fly onto the arrow and there was a load of slop in the weaver mounting so out came the sticky tape again to make the weaver mount thicker. I then drove to one of my permissions and sat there setting it up and learning,After about an hour i saw a fox and i was not ready no call out just me sat there no bolt in the gun and no ammo in the mag *** I tried to put the bolt in the gun and it would not go in the Arrow mounting bracket was two long for my gun,so i took the Arrow off put my bolt in the gun loaded the mag up and then i went to pull the bolt back and it would not go far enough back to load a round. The fox buy this time was well gone i however wanted to throw the thing out of the window and run over it. I got home at 23:00 lay the gun out and asked myself how am i going to do this as i did not want the lift the scope up anymore,so i cut 30mm off the end of the Arrow mounting bracket and the i found some bushes off my Pulsar (PERFICT) Went out on Saturday to take the dog out so i took my Range finder and found from where i was sitting on Friday night i could see a gate 343 yards away only in a small dot thou. Went out on Sat night and put my caller out set up the firefly and was happy i could load my gun and see things with the night vision watching rabbits etc. I turned the caller off had had a play with the night vision and started to look at the gate that was 343 yards away a ****** me there was a pair of eyes looking at me so the caller went on and i could see it screaming up the field towards me i was busy making the ir bigger it got very close and stopped i pulled the trigger and down it went in an instant. It ended being a dog fox at about 90 yards. PHEEEEWW Youngie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well the plot thickens............. Got a phone call yesterday by a farmer who keeps a lot of ducks and Chickens he said there was a fox or foxes trying to get into his chicken pen,so off i went last night armed with my xtrema and 223 fox pro cat food. Set up in the farmers yard and his wife came out with a cup of tea,i set the foxpro to chicken in distress 2 and set the starlight arrow up on the cz 527 and in the hedge row was a fox just sat there scratching it's self just like a pet dog. The shot was 117 yards so i just put the cross hairs on it just about to pull the trigger and a car came into the farm and the fox bolted not to be seen again. The night was clear and frosty with no wind so i decided to call it a night. I will be back Sat night for another go..... Youngie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
