Si-Bore Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 200m rabbit in perfect conditions with my HMR. 73m headshot with the lamp using my FAC Rapid. A 60m headshot rabbit (from the field target position) with my Air Arms S400 .177 (non-FAC) at 4.00am with mist and absolutely no wind using and the lamp. Yesterday - my first triple pigeon over decoys and all perfect hits, including the last which was a fast overhead shot. Memories.........................

anser2 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) A shot that was never taken. In the darkness i had walked out a couple of miles onto the mudflats and hid in a small creek to wait for the geese to leave their roost across the estuary. But as the dawn came up i found the geese had moved and i was sitting in the middle of 10,000 pink feet geese. The nearest were only a couple of yards away. I could have reached up and caught some by the paddles. When they lifted a huge wave of solid geese rose from all sides deafening me. For a moment I lined up the barrels into the middle of the pack...........I still wonder how many geese would have fallen to two barrels. But I just watched them go an incredable sight no shot could replace. Mind you at sunrise more geese started to flight from their propper roost a trio of high right and lefts for six shots finnished the flight off nicely. Its funny i cant remember the successful shots , but the vision of 20,000 wings beating over my head in etched in my memory for ever.

Auto Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Similar story about the shot that was never taken........... My wife and i were out stalking for a Roe Buck one evening a couple of years ago not far from our home town. We were lying down in a wood watching down the side of a den which the farmer uses for dumbing old potatos and grain chaff. I have always told my wife that if she see's anything not to move a muscle, So all i could hear is ppssssttt, ppppssstttt. As i looked round a young spicker yearling buck had his head down sniffing my wifes hair, Which was only about 2/3 yards from my face, He then trotted off a further 20 yards then stopped. My wife then whispered to me " Shoot it then" But as the whole experience was so spectular i decided to let him live another day. The experience was so memorable my wife still speaks about it yet.

deejay Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 A shot that was taken, sitting under a tree while waiting for the pigeons to come in to roost,with my AA s400 about november last year,just as the sun was setting there was a the helpless cry of a rabbit being savaged.Would never of guessed that it was a pack of magpies attacking this rabbit about 45 yards away, with a .22 , no it wasnt the magpies i went straight for the rabbit .Put it out of its misery and luckly for me the magpies didnt even flinch,until i shot 2 of there buddies then started going daft so a managed to get another 4 , so now if i ever get the chance to shoot a rabbit or a magpie its always going to be the magpie,mainly because of the damage they do.

Ice Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) After a quiet night shooting, nothing in the bag and about to pack up for home, a single crow flew over around 80 - 100 yards high (actually dont know if it was that high but was deffinatly out of the 50 yard kill distance), so i decided a pot shot was in order, escort semi auto full choke + D+J No 6 36grm = one very dead crow. Really wasnt expecting to hit it and it seemed to take ages for the shot to get to the bird. Edited August 26, 2008 by Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
