Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

@berg243, believe me mate it's not a beautifully confirmed piece of black Walnut, more like one of the lower branch's from the lesser Asia Minor monkey fuck tree. God know's what it is, probably cheap birch .

Bonzai tree timber?

Chu wood isn't it?

AWESOME night of possum shooting, covered far more distance than i thought possible at my fitness level and made every shot i took, including this one out of a very tall tree about 150m away, as you can see it was the highlight of my night. All the advice really helped, thanks guys. 15 possums total this time with 12 recovered and plucked.

Also managed to recover the bullet, stopped in the skin on the other side. Surprised the segmented subs still did their thing from that distance. Will continue using them they're proving very effective and paying for themselves.

Fuck that's a good shot. My jw15 with high velocity was dropping 6 to 7 inches at 100 meters. Had to hold over almost to the bottom of the scope.

I could only just barely see the top of his head in my scope aye, probably a massive fluke but i'll take it. Was shooting to the left on the first shot, adjusted and got him on the second. Right through the neck and two of the petals went down and smashed his lungs. Nice and clean.

Definitely liking those segmented subs. Only negative thing I can say about them is the price.

dropped a couple of pigeons while at the river this week great shots with the shotty but couldn't retreive them as they fell in the swollen river.The leed I gave the one today was about 3 metres.

Double posted but stuff it cause it was a fun day out

ummer looks to be finally here in the UK had a spare afternoon yesterday so took my next door neighbour out for a crack at the local Pegion population. Haven’t been out all year due to work load
Bill doesn’t get out much either as his wife Has Alzheimer’s so he’s her full time carer. But his kids were visiting so he got a free pass
Started around 2pm and finished up at 7pm.
I set us up in a beech hedge standing back to back so we could call the out what was in coming to each other.
If you cocked the shot up our the bird went just out of range put was vectoring into Bills position then he could have a crack and vice versa. Some of the language was a bit ripe as we missed a few sitters, but good fun all round.
I even managed to get two left right crosses and one really long range crossing screamer that was paced out at 51strides.
41 picked and a few in the hedges that we could not get.
Best laugh of the day was Bills call of “Incomer straight going over you”! Bang! Im looking up for the bird and it hits me clean in the back of the head

Shot 6 possums on the walk out from our duckshooting spot.

15 possums tonight, almost entirely at the entrance they were very concentrated. Took the new shotgun for a spin and yeeeeah, way too short to be practical. Time to track down a new 870 barrel i think.
