Lez325 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 No really a contest- I have several thousand acres to shoot over and I invited Edd from this forum to pop down to Somerset and have a bash at the abundant rabbit population we duly met at my house around 6am and traveled the 1/2 mile to a large shoot to commence the cull- it was hot and sticky but soon we managed to fill the bag with good shooting from both the 17 HMR ( Les) and the semi auto 22 LR (Edd) we had around 30 in total by the end of the morning (9am) went they all went to bed- we called it a day and Edd very graciously bought breakfast and a cup of tea - thanks Edd a welcome break after walking all those miles Steve B - pay attention to this post- as you'll be shooting over the same land when we finally set up a meet heres the obligatory mobile phone photo to the Left is Les with 17 HMR and Edd to the right with 22 LR and the bunnies in front who were not impressed by either rifle look forward to our next meeting buddy- it was good fun :Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Im too much of a gentleman to say ( but he was wearing camo and a baseball cap) scores were pretty even- but the 17 HMR has longer legs than a 22 LR as Im sure youre all aware Les Edited July 10, 2010 by Lez325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Good shooting Guys and what a nice gesture from Les, well done mate we could do with a few more like you about! Do you think it might have been a slightly different result if you had both been using 17HMRs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it might have been a slightly different result if you had both been using 17HMRs? Yes I guess so- we did take turns shooting rabbits and this shoot is over run trust me- I always extend an invite to PW members to shoot with me - never had much interest until now- I have too much land to be honest Edd came down from South Wales- his 3rd visit and we always score big on the bunnies and I have masses of Pigeon Shooting + Fox + roe & red deer Les Edited July 10, 2010 by Lez325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi Lez. Good shooting again, by the both of you. I'm really looking forward to coming down and having a go at them. Dates have been forwarded to Edd and yourself, so hopefully, in the not too distant future, I can join you both. Regards Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
