taggy Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 thought that`d come up soon. it`s a re-enactment thing. a cony is an adult rabbit. not sure if it`s a historical thing, or just the group i work with. should find out really. just my way of keeping it straight in my head. the babies seem to be a bit slow in running away, so i can tell how my shooting is coming on.

airssassin Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I also have shot many woodpigeons and squirrels with a lightening XL! Quieter rifles still make the same noise as the pellet hits skull so the extra noise makes little difference. They are quite quiet down range anyway... and no charging equipment or cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taggy Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 many thanks to all for replies. highseas; have looked through a recipie book i have for cony / rabbit answer. 14c recipie calls for ; rabbit, kid or lamb. therefore young meat. 15c recipie calls for ; cony or hen . so yep, i`ll keep with the way i`m counting. ferretman; i think i`ll pass on the shotgun idea until i`m a bit more, i dunno, possibly confident of my skill, a bit richer, and depending on how often i actually get to use the guns. but i`m not saying no, not just yet.

And location. If you're shooting a stables, it's rare they want you scaring the living hell out of the horses with a shotty. There is always a time and a place for each type of firearm B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
