Ackley Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Ackley, I hoped you were not going to get involved in this as like you say' you can't educate pork'. Long range shots at deer maybe explainable in the Scottish Highlands to take out an injured or sick red, but if you boasted those range deer shots round my way you would have your rifle made to fit snuggly somewhere at much closer range to your person. :blink: well mate if there is someone big enough and stupid enough to try bring it on,on another note yes I was culling in the Scottish Highlands,by the way I wasnt boasting the question was asked by the OP and an answer given you take it as your will,matter not to me,Iam fortuante enough to be able to stalk and harvest game at extream ranges conditions permitting of course thing is I dont see the man who only is able to shoot at 100 yards and hit 4 inch being torn into so why the other way around Edited July 12, 2011 by Ackley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Oh so sorry post number 103 you seemed to be blowing your own trumpet,no need to be disapointed mate pop down to Derbyshire (not as far as Bisley) Saturday Iam sure I can give you a good time with "the boys and guns" No... just responding to those questioning my 'experience' not my 'skill.' It would be easy to tell everyone I had a Cheytac Intervention and regularly shot out to 2.5k.. you have no way of knowing if I'm being a Mall Ninja or not... However, unlike most on here I can offer evidence to the fact that I actually take part in the things I say I do and perhaps do actually have some experience of the things I talk about. Can't do this weekend, have a young family and need a little more notice but any time over the summer hols would be fine... I thought someone mentioned a day at Wales Steel Challenge?

I thought someone mentioned a day at Wales Steel Challenge? fair enough,Iam not questioning anything as what people can or cannot do is no concern of mine,Im would like to do a lot of things others can but i woulodnt run them down as they can and I cant,so to speak I also have a young family school holidays is fine as Iam out most weekends testing with different people I wounldnt entertain steel challenge far to expensive and the bloke that runs it is a *** Edited July 12, 2011 by Ackley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You up for my Bisley challenge Paul, you seem to be hinting there that you are one of the ones that 'can!' 500 quid in a charity bucket, you get 100 back for every target hit between 500 & 1,000 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting them 1st shot, from a cold bore with no visual windage information down range....... that's a completely different story!

Hitting them 1st shot, from a cold bore with no visual windage information down range....... that's a completely different story! quite true and at no time has anyone who shoot long range said any different well I havnt,conditions thats what matters so all this £500 in the charity box is bull mate and you know it,a 500 yard shot isnt hard if the condition are correct just like a 100 yard shot can be difficult again if condition are incorrect,the distance matters not you have an open invite from me to come out and shoot long range vermin,crows rabbits pigeons all safe areas where visibilty is superb to anyone or anything around,I think you may be plesently surprized at what can be done off a bipod with a drop chart and wind metre by the way I thought you target boys had wind flags to judge the wind unlike us varmint boys who have to look at the land Edited July 12, 2011 by Ackley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You up for my Bisley challenge Paul, you seem to be hinting there that you are one of the ones that 'can!' 500 quid in a charity bucket, you get 100 back for every target hit between 500 & 1,000 yards to be honest since leaving the range (485meters) i don't practice much long range stuff, but i do have one or two areas where it could be done very safely, bisley is a bit far for me, not to sure where the steel gong thing is so will have to have a look i'll have to ask rob to get some batteries for his range finder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 well mate if there is someone big enough and stupid enough to try bring it on,on another note yes I was culling in the Scottish Highlands,by the way I wasnt boasting the question was asked by the OP and an answer given you take it as your will,matter not to me,Iam fortuante enough to be able to stalk and harvest game at extream ranges conditions permitting of course thing is I dont see the man who only is able to shoot at 100 yards and hit 4 inch being torn into so why the other way around Ackley, I don't fear much and don't think your gonna change that, just saying it how it is. If there is a culling plan in the highlands that needs that sort of range then fair play to you if you can do it, after all in extreme conditions helicopters have been used. I believe half of what I see and virtually nowt I read on here so maybe our paths will cross someday and you can prove yr skills, I sincerely hope so.
