colin lad Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 810 yards, seven and three quarter inches, resting on the top of a sapling post. I thought the best way to acheive the range was to flick the butt lower as I fired. I remember the day well because it was very windy. By licking the index finger of my left hand and holding it above my head I estimated that I would need to aim off to above the gate post that was seven feet four to the right of it. Thats the gods honest truth lads, honest. about the only believable post in this thread so far :good: :good: colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thats nothing, by the time I got to my rabbit I had filled in my renewal, had my visit and received my new fac. When I got to my rabbit my boots had worn out, luckily it was June when I shot it so when I got to it, in August, it had dried like leather so I skinned it and made a new pair.

Well, I wasn't in Africa myself, I was in my back garden in Kent, but the rabbits were in Africa. A friendly native gutted them for me and posted them over. Both clean headshots.
