naddan28 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Went shooting today, only own an air rifle so not really ideal for the farm I shoot on as it has no cover and my quarry is corvids and woodies. However, today when shooting the farmer came upto me and had a chat. Asked had I got anything, said no. Told me I could hide in the poult pen and lay up in ambush for the birds (which were all out of sub 12fpe air rifle range ) Also, he said those magic words "oh I have a big rabbit problem, on another farm. I will show you it some time." Now that sounds like a problem that I could deal with! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 great going looks like you have bagged an extra shooting area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddan28 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 great going looks like you have bagged an extra shooting area thanks, good stuff really. Also, it means he is reasonably pleased with me so won't have any issues with me applying for a SGC and maybe even a FAC. All the corvids and woodies were sitting 50-120yds so would be perfect for a FAC air rifle (well out to 80ish anyway) HMR would be perfect though!

steve b Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 HMR for range yes, but if you want to eat the meat off a woodie there might not be much left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
