sitsinhedges Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was there when he was shooting, he got critical mass shots all the time, he eats leaves and drinks 100% ethanol, he doesn't require a scope as he has telescopic eyes, he can add extra distance to the short simply by activating his magnetic repell mode, most people don't believe he even exists because he has perfect camouflage skills, he invented the word stalking, he's called ............ The twig..... Where can I get me one of them thar telescopic eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodo123 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've just been told that he got his from area 51, they was trailing them for fighter pilots but they couldn't cope with the extra visual information going to the frontal coretex of their brain, this in turn changed them into bankers and lawyers where minimum brain function is required....... Ok too much lol ps no offence to bankers and lawyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pest popper Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I personaly shoot out to a maximum of 65 yards in PERFECT conditions in .177 and around 50yards in .22 My 63 yard shots are always in the same pigeon sitting tree on my permission. I have this one aim point pretty much mastered and is weather pending. All of my other shooting takes place from about 3-50 yards. On a gusty day this is reduced to around 35yards ....and yes i do have misses if you claim you dont, well, i dont belive you. The good thing about the misses are that i go for brain shots only, this means if i miss, its over the top with out injury, if its low, its still a head shot but does result in 20-30 seconds of flapping or kicking on the floor.

pest popper Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 And as for the video, yes good shot BUT....there was no reson to take the shot from that distance? He could have easily closed the gap by at least 20-25 yards if not more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodo123 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 He basically said that people should shoot at ranges for which they have practiced many times and can repeatedly hit a target with little diversion to misses, he also said a miss can happen to non twigs at any range but the longer the shot the more likely it is to happen so you have to put it in perspective, I hope this makes sense as I had to use Google translate to translate from Chinese (he's been away for the new year.and mastered the language in a day. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon6ppc Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) To me that was a serious shot.even at 25 yards shooters still wound animals.we have all done good shots on the day and we have all missed or wounded our target.so to me its up to the shooter behind the gun as some folk spend alot of time talking or typing about it while others are doing it.just my opinion Edited February 10, 2013 by simon6ppc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingit Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 It would be interesting to see the gentleman do a video on is group sizes at 80 yrds and maybe someone could pop the question to him on is you tube channel.We would all be able to form a better opinion then on wether he should have,or should not have,attempted the shot.

goodo123 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 .20 is more middle of the road but didn't seem to take off? Don't really see the point in arguing here they have both been used successfully for decades sometimes more successful than other times, they are both as accurate as each other if you know how to shoot them, yes .177 has a flatter trajectory but if you are used to .22 what difference does it make? There is that guy who can shoot a moving paracetamol with a bow/arrow so does that make bow/arrow more accurate than a gun? You could be well versed in shooting a cannon accurately does that make it more accurately than a rifle, well maybe the archer and the gunner would have a argument to say yes as that's what their better with and what they trust and can hit 99%. Just because .177 or .22 is right for you doesn't mean it's right for everyone and people should stop getting so wound up about it. ................btw .22 is still better and .177 are for girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzab Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ridiculous shot imo. way to many variables that can end in a injured suffering bird. So as far as im concerned bloke is a bafoon. simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poguemahone Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 It would be interesting to see the gentleman do a video on is group sizes at 80 yrds and maybe someone could pop the question to him on is you tube channel.We would all be able to form a better opinion then on wether he should have,or should not have,attempted the shot. many of these long range superhero's are challenged to produce a group size that would be considered acceptable for shooting quarry at those ranges, but none ever do. a 1 mph crosswind is virtually undetectable and you'll miss the target at 81 yards by several inches. i keep looking at the video and summat isn't right. has anyone spotted where the crosshairs are at the moment he pulls the trigger ?? no doubt someone will be along with an 85 yard "kill" shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 The thing I find interesting about this kind of thread is that those on here that use a shotgun will happily accept 1 bird for two shots fired as good shooting. So every other barrel of the "good shot" will throw 260 pellets at the quarry, lets say pigeon, probably with numerous hits and thats deemed perfectly acceptable on here.. No one ever gets ripped to shreds for being irresponsible when they talk about the birds they hit but carried on. Yet someone pulls off a shot with greater skills than the above, and everyone jumps on it as irresponsible behaviour. Is it not just a little bit hypocritical? And think of the scale of either a .177 or .22 pellet in relation to a pigeon/crow. If its anywhere in the neck up, its a kill and below that in the chest, even if its not downed immediately, it will be terminal fairly fast. Compare that with a couple of no.6 or no7 shot. That can be lodged in the tissue for a long time with associated pain. Even the term "pricked" almost makes it sound acceptable to some I'm not suggesting I would have a go, my skills are no-where near good enough. 45-50 yds for me in ideal conditions is my limit. But there are some cracking marksmen out there. although most have a 2:1 cartridge to bird ratio becaus they simply MISS. i have tried to shoot to that distance, failed misserably. but i`ve also pulled of some great shots with a shotgun, #4 / #2 for ground game in a classic 36g loads. you litterally couldnt miss.

bruno22rf Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Well this clip certainly answers the .177 v .22 debate-it proves that,no matter what calibre you choose to use,some idiot will take irresponsible shots with it.Nice shot,but if you were on my land it would be the last time.
