12borejimbo Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 My mate who comes shooting with me, his girlfriend was moaning that they never spend any time together but he is too much of a wimp to man up and tell her straight that shooting is waaaaaayy much better than being a couch potato!!! So I decided that I would spend my Saturday night picking off bunnies on the golf course. Started at about 11 ish, its an 18 hole course at about 150 acres and they have given me the keys to my own pick up golf buggy which is also petrol, so its pretty good without being noisy. So off I went and bagged 10 in the first round, saw 4 badgers aswell as plenty of bunnies. Turned a corner and there were 2 Muntjack feeding on the young trees! I see alot of deer around here but these ones were 20 yards away so it was nice getting close to them. So after the first round I stopped and had a cup of tea and a smoke then went off again. Bagging another 12 on the way round, making 22 in total, not bad considering I was only using my BSA Lightning .22 air rifle and doing the driving! I use the headlights on the buggy as they are not too bright and have a 50-60 yard beam so perfect with an air rifle. Most of them were shot at around 35-40 yards with the occasional 2 inch holdover headshot at 50 yards. Had some close ones too where I had to aim at the floor they were so close to be able to shoot them in the head! So all in all a productive nights lamping and did it all in just over 2 hours! Beats rusting away on the sofa watching soaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
