sully7s Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 If there's not a misprint here, get the biggest cannon that you can afford. You're not going to have any trouble with 300 yard foxes and I can quite well see that at 704 yards a......... Seriously though, there's a couple of us just down the road in Exmouth, one who shoots 17HMR, who would welcome the chance to see you in action. sweet 17 range finder we will see ur answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasper3 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) get over sandy bay loads of bunnys over there to kill My permission is just down the road from there,And I too also have loads of bunnies to shoot. I didn't say i doubted you, i said i would love to see a shot like that... I have always thought that I was a reasonable shot, but i would say a shot of that distance with a 17HMR would be out of my leauge to kill something, now !!! if we were talking of something like a 22Hornet or 222 then i could happily pull the trigger, also..sandybay is quite a windy place being on the south facing coast Edited June 11, 2011 by jasper3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Oh I love the weekend, especially when the parents have gone out and left the child lock off the computer. Does anyone on this forum actually go shooting or you lot just flicking to and fro from this forum and soft porn sites There are lots of reasons why even experienced rifle men should not be taking 275yd shots with a hmr on a live target but I don't think I will bother stating them, Yawwwnnnn I'm going back to my hammock.

wymberley Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 get over sandy bay loads of bunnys over there to kill After 10 years at St Point there's not as many as there was particularly compared to the 50s. Problem is, at my age and with my eyesight at 275 yards I can't tell the difference between a small holiday maker and a larger rabbit.

wymberley Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) OK, just for Red and Jim. St. Point is a RMs rifle range stuck on the end of Sandy Bay, a promontory near Exmouth. I have shot countless rabbits on the range to avoid broken/twisted ankles while recruits are carrying loaded rifles during training. Sandy Bay itself is one massive holiday park (caravans) where the rabbits are not shot (cough, cough) because the holiday makers like to see them. I don't think Sully will be of the Gecko clan. We did have them in Devon, but they were exterminated; the last one killed by a poisoned teat shortly after its 17th birthday in1837. Cheers PS It's stopped raining here and I have to chrono the Hornet. Edited June 11, 2011 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 So your sending off for your FAC yet your experience at shooting 275yd rabbits,mmmm reminds me of when I was kid, used to dream of being an astronaught, and poor old Alice just hung around drinking tea with large rabbits and a pack of living cards. What a wonderland it all was back then, then I grew up and got my FAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
