Frenchieboy Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Why did you take their wet suits off before you photographed them. Nice shooting mate and if the weather with you is anything like us then very brave of you too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been finding that after the rain stops is a good time for rabbits...not sure why...but it seems to be the time for them...last night was like that for me.. thanks for ur comments only had my bsa ultra multishot 2 weeks (second hand)bought new scope for it, bit strange using scope after using shotty, bug.....d if i can keep it still lol, but i am getting there... learning. my who does dear stalking for living says na come away from that toy get a fac and a real rifle, mind you when i see what he has just paid for a scope ( £2000). i don't think so, i am not as rich as him. all i wanted to do was get small air rifle as some farmers wanted me to rat, feral pigeon and rabbit around their farms. i thought i had made a boo boo when i bought it as i have since found out that some rifles you can get 100+ shot from them, to my 30-35 but the most i have used in one outing of 3 hrs was 10-15 shots, so i am happy with than for the money i had to spend. i have noticed rabbit s dont seem to see you coming when they are facing you, hence the head shot on one of them. do they have poor forward vision?

Hiya, No idea about their vision.., but have had a few doing the same... It's probs be the wind direction that helps you...if its blowing from them to you,or even across them, between you....that's probs why they didnt notice you... £2K for a scope...cant hide money eh??? I had a loan on an Ultra for a while, and really liked it, tho it was sub 12lbs and single shot... With my Rapid at 30lb foot, I got 40 + shots from it, so, the Ultra might have a wee leak..:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
