Down South Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I was out last night shooting bunnies. Took the .22 and HMR to be on the safe side. I set up in the farm yard and drove into the first field. I scanned the field to be presented with 3 pairs of eyes in various areas (edit: foxes). 10 minutes later the Sako quad Hornady 17 gr balistic tip proved to be a lethal combo, twice. First a 65 yrds paced. Shot between the eyes, no exit but loads of blood from ears and mouth, instant kill. The next a bit further out, and at an angle, could only see one eye so used that as my target. Instant kill and the only sign of damage was a missing eye and socket. I like this ammo! Don't ask to see pics as I don't take them, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down South Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Point taken Mark, foxes. I use the full beam to confirm my target as being fox or rabbit but when I get to the position to take the shot I only use the edge of the beam as the quarry tends to be less jumpy in the lower light. As you well know their eyes are a good aiming point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
