Teal Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Good job mate, is this a golfcourse you are shooting on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon master Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yes top shooting mate, heads shots at night can be tricky with regards to the range so well done. Keep knocking them down, nice setup you have, and its seems you know how to use it. The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_boy Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Ashleybrook, Nice shooting. Interested in the lamp set up you have there. Could you give me an idea of the price for the whole lamping system you have ? I'm toying with either getting one like yours or the deben tracer lamp. Any thoughts ? Or does anyone else have experience of these two systems ? Ooh also where did you get a hold of it ? Cheers. gb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleybrook Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Thanks game boy & Pigeon decoyer. The lamp setup I have is the Lightforce Lance 140 though I now use it with a Red filter as the bunnys are getting a bit lamp shy to the white light now. I usually use a 7amp/hour (I think its 7amp/hour) belt battery, got the setup from Southern Counties Sportsman centre at Clay Pigeon Hill on the Yeovil to Dorchester Road, really good place for all firearms, there and Avalon Guns in Street, Somerset is ace aswell. I have a friend who uses the Deben Tracer kit which isn't a bad kit at all, though I do prefer my set up for longer ranges i.e. over 100yds. The lamp kit when I bought it was £150 or just under with 2 batterys (one for spare) and the lamp kit with Red filter, this lasts around 1Hr30mins per battery continuos use. One battery is usually good for two nights shooting. Can't believe how accurate these Anschutz are with Eley Subs, I'll post some pics of my 50yard groups when I get home. All the above rabbits were headshots by the way & they all dropped like puppets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleybrook Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Here's my one of my first groups with the Anschutz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleybrook Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Here's a group I did two weeks ago at 55yards, clean barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleybrook Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Around a 1/3 of an inch at 55yards. I was using some CCI subs when I first got the rifle and couldn't even group an inch at 50yards! I've tried Winchester subs aswell they grouped a bit better but Eley I've found in this rifle are the most accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
