Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Good Sunday goat shoot, final count of about 60. Quite a few running around at the moment.

Few sets of back wheels, quite a few Billy's so not much to choose from when they were close to the truck.

Get about 50 a fortnight when a few of us go out for a morning shoot so don't take much off them these days.

I went for a quick look for a rabbit or hare before dinner.This is the oldest rifle I've shot a hare with.

You could line up a pet food processor. They're after goats. Your could make a bit of money from it.
Call them first though. I got told they have to know that some are coming in and you need to put ice bottles in their gut cavity. Heart and lungs left in.

Muzzleloaders have always interested me but I have never even held one let alone fired one......what sort of range can you realistically 95% hit a rabbit in the front half at?

I am not sure if original perhaps someone can tell by these photos.

Im sure rabbits would be queuing up to be shot by that.

I'm using a ghost ring rear and globe front sight so not really what you would call precision.
I could use one of my smaller globe insert discs and have finer accuracy.
It's pretty well set up for bigger game.
But out to 50m I'm running about 50% hits and inside 30m i get most things if they are stationary.
My longest hit was 88m on a hare with a good rest.
I run it on scrap lead 320 grains @ 1350 fps with genuine black powder so you don't see much of what happens in the target zone.

You should always shoot with an observer out to one side.

That would be my dog then.
But she thinks every time the gun goes off there will be something yummy

15 Bunnies last night, including the first shot after zeroing with the Creedmoor, but only at 172 yds. Also first ever time getting 2 with one shot at 120 yds with the 223. Never anybody there to witness it or get it filmed though
