fieldwanderer Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I really miss my .22 semi, I can see a 10/22 arriving sometime this year Perhaps I could squeeze it in in time for spring Anyway, good to see you got out eventually, I hate being stuck indoors when I'm not at work - to the point I've been out when it's been snowing so hard I couldn't see more than a few yards, beats hanging around the house all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice shooting, looks like a productive morning! Don't under-sell the .22 though, you can at least triple that range. I don't risk shooting the .22 around yards anymore though, it can start to sound like a spaghetti western; (bang... peeeeyowmmmmmmmmmmm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Only one for the pot? Good shooting fella.. Well I guess he might have eaten the scruggers and feral too I agree Andy, great round the .22, cheap to run, dead quiet and very effective on all sorts of quarry. I have a CZ452 sllhouette, weighs nothing, deadly accurate, love it Edited December 29, 2013 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambsman Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 sorry was in not sporting enough..... next time il whack 500 shot balls in it instead The title of the section is "Sporting Pictures". A lot of folks feel that shooting birds on the ground is not particularly sporting. After all, pheasants are not classed as pests or vermin. I suppose an augment could be made for pigeons, crows etc under general licence terms. I am however assuming that you did shoot it on the ground? Tricky getting a safe backstop with a rifle otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 see now I don't get this, I actually believe that waiting until a bird lifts and is commited to a flight it is less sporting! Fun yes and exciting yes. Now remove live target shooting from the picture, that is popping an unsuspecting bird 200yds away etc. Anyone can do that. It is extremely difficult to put the sneak in on a bird, as we all know their eye sight is amazing. Yesterday with the flintlock whilst moving very very slowly I spied a cock bird. I sat the dog and told her to stay. I watched the bird, it settled down under a hollybush, looking and watching all around for any movement. For 15minutes I played with that bird before it noticed me and crept off. I saw it about 40yds and got ten yards. I wanted five more to be sure! What was unsporting with that? It is all very well making a white wash statement against the shooting of birds on the ground! How about the `sportman` who never shoots a gun all summer and then cripples lots of bird through the season? For some reason high birds are cherished as a spectacle, how many of them just get wounded? Another point of interest, a genuine rifle shooter that takes a bird for the pot is possibly more praise worthy than a sydicate member that shoots scores of birds a season and never plucks one himself let alone cooks any part of a bird he shot! I have invited many many times for the `naa` sayers to join in an ethics discussion and they never never do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambsman Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I was not talking about driven shooting. Just voicing an opinion on rough shooting. That's all. Each to his own and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to his own and all that. `Each to his own and all that`, then why say something? It makes no odds if rough or driven, vehemently sticking to wingshooting to avoid criticism from one's peers is no defence. As I have said before, if anyone wishes to judge my actions please be sure they themselves can not likewise be judged! Cambsman, I am not witch hunting you. This is the closest yet I have got a discussion going on this! My apologies to the OP. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
