Some more pig farm ratting


Recommended Posts

Hi Steve, I've fashioned a shooting stick out of an aluminium mop handle, an old L shaped angle of metal pushed in the top and it all covered in black tape, it's light, the perfect height(about 5') and gives fairly good stability.

I've got a proper shooting stick but prefer this home made jobby.

Okay. I noticed on your previous videos, and on the latest one, that sometimes it takes you a few seconds to steady the rifle/reticule on the target, and sometimes, one or two are a bit shaky. Would'nt a tripod be a better option for you? Still excellent videos though, and I enjoy viewing them.

 

This is the best one (for the money) that I have come across. It's easy and quick to use, and helps give a steady hold.

Unfortunately a tripod would work in most of the situations I shoot in but while the cross hairs move a touch when I'm selecting an aim point, my hand/eye co-ordination is usually pretty good to allow shot release at the optimum time.

The thing with the rats is they don't usually hang around too long so have to take a quick shot. I have a bipod but rarely use it as the locations don't really lend to even a tall bipod because of pig poo everywhere and such like.

If in doubt i just don't take the shot, there will always be another time, lol.

Thanks for the kind comments tho, Still fairly new at the video editing so any preferences or such like please feel free to let me know.

cheers

Danny
