cloud9 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I went lamping for an hour last night with my brother on 1 of our shoots we have alot of the land up there but there are parts we dont have but last night we met a guy shooting rabbits with a rifle we have spoke to him b4 anyway we got chating for a while and he let us on his land and we got to have a shot with his rifle i was shocked how little it kicked and it wasnt as loud as i thought it would be he did tell us what cal it was but i forgot lol 173 or something like that bullets where only small. ((any1 know what cal this is plz if i go for my fac that is the gun for me)) we swopped numbers so when we are on we can go on each others land as we only shoot with air rifles at the minute and there are fox's and the odd dear on our shoot he has also offered to take us out with him 1 night foxing i cant wait lol i just thought this was a nice thing for some1 to do after meeting some1 twice :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
