Thumpersniper Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 A friend on an air rifle forum regularily ads videos of his shooting. I decided to give it a go because there were relitevley few kills on his permission, compared to on some of mine because it is plagued with rabbits! So i tried to video a few good shots with the air rifle, but he has a purpouse made camera mount, and i was trying to hold camera in one hand and air rifle in the other, so it wasnt very good. After a few failed atempts i got fed up with the whole thing, and went to get my B25 12 bore which is much lighter and i am used to using mainly with one hand while balancing the forend on a lamp held in the other. I got a shot at a crossing jackdaw straight away and dropped it clean at 45 yards it with one hand on the gun! (the kick hurt my wrist a bit though!) Then i spotted a fresh mole patch in a newly drilled field so i shot that aswel! I dont think the video would have been appreciated on the other forum, so i put them on youtube so i can show them here! I am pleased with the mole one, sometimes they take longer to rise, this one wasnt too bad, it was rising as i was walking towards it so it gives an idea how long you have to wait. The sound hasnt worked on the jackdaw one i dont think :blink: but basicly it was .....click..... bang....thud... so you can fill it in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHOSYibE52g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ_MCsEZAWE SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Very nice shot on the Jackdaw, always look's further on video right enough. But does he kick the Jackdaw when he get's to it? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpersniper Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 :blink: yea i think i did, shouldnt have, think i was making sure it was dead which it was completley! It was 45 paces away, so about 40 yards i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiercel Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Used to shoot mole like that many many years ago, It's not without danger though as I have seen bits of stone fly off in every direction. As the moles are only stunned when they come to they can give a nasty bite. Wondering though? If you have ever heard of picking up your cartridge cases?
