Frank Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 The point is the boiler room is the best place to take the shot where a fox is concerned whereby all the energy of a bullet is absorbed . Spot on Ive. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ive, stop hitting them foxes with pin hammers Frank. Yes it's frustrating when they come to the squeak like a dog to a bitch on heat and it's too close to use a rifle and the shotgun is locked up safe at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varmintator Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Were you the one on the grassy noll Not sure what you mean Kip This thread hopefully will enlighten ferretboy111 about headshots being the last resort as he seems convinced they are the best shots to take ,nothing other than that really GRASSY NOLL is a reference to JFK asasination as that also was a head shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 GRASSY NOLL is a reference to JFK asasination as that also was a head shot With a 6.5, accurate round is that.... I've never heard of centre fire ricochets either - this is just overkill!! I have seen ricochets when standing behind someone firing 50 cal tracer and that wasn't even in a rocky environment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 they do ricochet it all depends on how the bullet stricks its target, pretty simple if you ask me! but then what do i know lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I've never heard of centre fire ricochets either - this is just overkill!! Would you like to explain why by any chance ..............At the end of the day there is no market for the pelt but what you call overkill I call Humane and Painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
