shaun4860 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 So, he set the gun up close to the bird, say 10yds, and ran line back to the house, say 165yds, to pull the trigger Yep, deffo a 175yd shot that - but I bet I can find some longer string :lol: :yp: I tried it but every time i pushed the string, the gun failed to go off, dodgy cartridges?

paulos Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 155 Yards thats nothing.i knew an old boy who shot a cormorant and killed it at 175 yards he used 1oz 6shot cartridge in a spanish sxs. the cormorant was taking fish from his pond but as there was no cover he never could get close enough to shoot it.so he noticed it always landed on the same rock before fishing so he set up the gun facing the rock put a bag of sand on the stock and tied the end of a fishing line around the trigger and ran back to his house and shot the bird from his kitchen window. can anyone beat that. bornfree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 What choke and shells did he use!? That's easy, 21g of course, they are the ones that throw superior patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 What choke and shells did he use!? i would ask him but unfortunately he's dead.after he shot the cormorant he decided to eat it.the shot was so accurate that he died of lead poisoning. bornfree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davva Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 the cormorant was taking fish from his pond I feel bad now, the Cormorant was innocent, I was poaching his fish casting my line over the fence from a few doors down, estimated the cast at 185 yards....
