    2 quick headshots last night out the ute window. The mighty JW15 never lets me down. This was far from the task at hand so left it at the 2, Was plenty running about, so il hopefully get out another night.

    First blood for the new toy @123m not a long shot but still satisfying to get one on the board

    @GWH best to ask @Philipo or @Rich007 as I'm the 3rd owner and have only had to add the scope and rings. I better get started on this learning to reload caper as I brought 5 boxes of ammo today and the wife was right beside me when I paid 250 knickers. Gulp. If I don't it might end up being a safe queen

    It wasn't shortened by me, Phil might know?

    When you are ready to start reloading for the .17 hornet, have a read of this: Reloading the .17 Hornet - Sporting Shooter

    I got a really good load for my Anschutz using 'lil gun'

    I believe lilgun can be a bit finicky with pressure spiking.

    CFEBLK goes pretty well in mine.

    New market garden to try out last night. They close off the gates at COB, and it's a fair old walk, but it looks promising.
    Only there for 5 minutes checking out how to get into the place, and shot these from the gate. Looking at the amount of rabbit crap everywhere, I suspect this will keep me amused for a wee while.

    Always take rod and rifle when I head off to the river for a fish. Fish weren't biting but bunnies were hopping.

    An unsuccessful rabbit hunt for me tonight. I did have an opportunity for a hare at 82m, but haven't shot anything for a while, so thought I'd get closer and off he went. Later on, I shot a magpie at 90 metres. The furthest I've shot anything with 22LR. Should have taken the shot at the hare!
