alexr Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Did you miss or was the load wrong, not that at 20 yards that will have made that much difference I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albob Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Im not going to shoot at one again its put me off never let it do that,as you may realize without knowing,that when you shoot one,the answer may suddenly become apparant to you. if it don`t you can be sure that you will get it right next time. when i first started to be interested in shooting fox,i would not shoot one for ages,as i was worried about wounding.eventually i was confident enough to take one(at 30yrds)and it dropped instantly. not everything goes smoothly and things do go wrong,so it is a case of get over it and put it out of your mind and do it right next time. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkyed Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Well the thing is i tryed that this time after missing the first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albob Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) 2 foxes at once will throw most people,so just put it down to experiance.. maybe you hoped to get them both and it threw you. noticed your a young lad,so learn from it and keep trying,as you have plenty of time to get another with the shottie. al ps,if you say to me your going to give up,i will come round and kick your butt.. ...so chin up.

Gobfish Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 32gram 6's. so not as if you could actually miss. At 20 yards it shouldn't make much difference but as a general rule if you are thinking fox, you really need a couple of BB's in there or AAA or something of that ilk, always keep a couple in a separate pocket..... ya never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 32 6 is a bit light for fox but should still have bought them down close. Odds are you pricked them both anyway, but it was probably just one of those days. Quick play on a pattern plate will hopefully resolve any issues and restore confidence!

SSS Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Guys, just to let you know, there was 2 foxes on 2 occasions, not 2 last night. At the range it was at, I could have spat some chewing gum at it and killed it. Never mind, **** happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
