eccles Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Had a call earlier off Dyfan fancy going for a shot later Ter. Said i'd be up to pick him up at about 6.30 ish. Drove up to his farm just after 6.30 he was waiting with a big grin on his face. Drove up to other farm passing many rabbits on the lanes and fields. Parked up by the sheep pens out with the HMR rabbits on all fields but a bit unsafe for him to shoot . We walked up the bank to the top loads of rabbits out . He had a couple there and we walked on to the other part. I could see a few bunnies out at about 120 yards . Put the pod down told him nail them over went the first,missed second . Rabbits out all over the fields but sheep and cattle also so moved on. Came to a good bank blinking loads of rabbit on it,so set up on the brow. Told Dyfan take your time and pick them off . These rabbits where all from 120 y ish to 180 yards . He told me which rabbit he was shooting and i told him where to aim,good bit of cross wind. He was whacking them over nice think he only wounded 1 but 2 shot finished it off. He was shooting great would have carried on all evening. Told him thats enough practice we will pick up the rabbits and head home. He loves his shooting and thanking me for teaching him really nice lad. Shot these in pic plus i think 4 more which where small ones and gutted. atb Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
