tikkamark Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 SMASHING STUFF MARK. Cheer frank now i know why you are such a big fan of the american eagles :o That was the first time i ever used them on live targets they dont half pack a punch Set the scope for them there yesterday morning and got good groups with them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 1 of the cubs i got the other night was out before it was dark,but because the eye relief on my scope is set to accomodate the NV i had to attach it to shoot.The lense is off a camera so you can open the iris just a little.Was nice to see it in full colour before,but back to NV mode to shoot....ah well,can,t have it both ways. Was going to go tonight but it was our shoot BBQ last night and had to work this afternoon so energy levels are down..2 nights to do then back at them.. Keep up the good work Mark GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
