    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    It will happen down there VC. When the queen gets a hankering to move, the rest can't help themselves but follow.

    A messy short range kill , at 39yds , it hit so hard that not only did feathers fly , but it was kicked up 2 feet into the air , it has virtually vapourised the chest cavity , I suppose a 40gr vmax at 3000fps will do that .

    This was last week , today 2x magpies at 176yds .

    I managed to nail these pesky little bastards. They were sitting in the paddock.... couldn't tell if they were eating the grass or rooting up but we smashed em all in quick succession with the Hummer, 243 and the .223
