So I now have the new slugs accurate at 20m – but the rabbits see the spotlight and run for their lives – I have had aa couple of shots at about 30m but free standing and missed
So I give up on the air rifle and yesterday resorted to an old favourite – a Fenn 6 – they don’t run past the end of the chain with this – 2 pieces of 150mm tube with a gap in the middle for the Fenn – they love running through culverts and pipes
Dog is enjoying something to carry
