Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

bugger . . . did a little blurb with the above pic and lost it all because i was fluffing around doing the breakfast thing and the editing timed out . . . here goes again


a not so flash evening on the hill, been lookn forward to it all week, as you do . . . the wind came up as soon as i got the targets out to do my zero, and kept getting stronger untill shooting at anything past 50yds with the subs was a waste of time, longest shot 102yds in a sheltered gully

the good news is my young shooting mate from back in the Buller is taking up the LR Rabbit challenge, and so he should, it was him that raised the bar from my previous best of +200yds to 280yds recently . . he's ordered the Burris Signature rings with the inserts to put on his CZ 455 Varmint
yesterday i put another 5MOA lift into my XTR Burris rings which now gives me 365yds of elevation, in hindsight should have made it 10MOA and gone for a neat 400yrd . . . later maybe, i'll wait and see how this race progresses

my partner reckons its ego driven and i just dont like to be beaten . . . i say no, its each of us pushing the other on to do better . . . and itll be a sad day if i let a young whipper snapper set the pace

One of two today...

Went out yesterday 16 bunnies 2 hares and 1 plover, the 40g v max does some damage out or .223

I need to play more with my .223 and start shooting smaller pesties

Cage + leg of rabbit + Cooey = one less bird predator

Squawking bloody mongrels.

I got a plover last night,they were a fair distance away didn't quite have my elevation right.Fired at the bird and dropped the one below it.

Translation for the confused. Dundee was sitting on his deck when a plover landed four feet away so he picked up the .22, fired a shot and missed because he was pissed but another dumb plover was in the wrong place and copped it so Dundee had to make up a story about not having his elevation right. Elevation to Dundee means getting on a chair so we know it is bulls wool because like I said he was sitting on the deck.

2 more starlings from da garage with 20 gauge 2 less birds to shit on da garge quad motorbike car lawnmower

Looked out the kitchen window a few minutes ago and saw this cat walking by. I dropped my snack in the sink and ran fanatically to retrieve the keys to the gun cabinet, grabbed the .22, fumbled with the keys to the ammo cabinet, loaded the magazine, slammed it in and headed for the door 95% certain the cat was long gone. No sign of it in the yard or down the drive where it appeared to have been headed. I went around the house and couldn't believe my luck when I saw it going through the fence into the paddock. About the same time it saw me and took off. I took several well aimed and controlled shots concentrating on proper technique and trigger control, which despite the short distance somehow missed the target. I made a mental note to check the sight adjustment at a later date. The cat went into a tree line between paddocks. I sprinted for the barb wire fence in my gumboots, which I more or less hurdled, and checked the magazine. Curiously there were only two of the ten rounds left. I stalked quietly down the back side of the tree line about 95% sure the cat was long gone. Then suddenly a little head popped up out of the long grass right in front of me looking back in the direction of the house. And that was the end of that. Livened up an otherwise dull afternoon of paperwork...

Good work.

Make sure you remove the collar and bell! Bury it separately

2x magpies at 166yds & 2x goats at 288yds , 22 Hornet
