    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    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!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I got out for the first time in a while 2 weekends ago. When I got there the farmer said it's the worst he's ever seen it for bunny numbers and in my head I was thinking "o there maybe a few about..."
    Well was he right, I got all these from 3.30-5.00pm just walking one small section of the farm. Only reason I stopped was I only had one box of ammo!!

    Looking forward to getting out again this weekend

    On another note I recently got hold of a 204 ruger and what a destructive little round this is!! The 2x bunnies were @ 175m and 184m and the single was 132m. The close one left a hole that size out the other side as well!!

    Best bit is I don't have to dial until 220m

    Not the smartest bunny in the world. Sat about 50 yards away completely oblivious to our presence. Son tried a tricky shot down hill from prone that did not connect. Lucky dad was ready with the follow up shot off hand. 55gm Fiocche .223 did the job and saved much of the gutting ;-) Good out come after loosing a nanny earlier in the evening. Hit her at 200 yards watched her drop. Had to climb a steep bluff to recover only for her to stand up and run off when we got to her. Tracked the blood trail for nearly a kilometer before she made it to a cliff we could not scale. Serves me right for not taking the rifle for the recovery climb!Name: black bunny.jpg Views: 735 Size: 2.45 MB

    things ya do to take a shot . .lying on a bunch of thistles shooting thru a fence struck me as humorous afterwards, not so much at the time . .

    back to the motor later for a coffee & changed over to the .204R to catch a few more who thought they were safely out of range

    cheers @berg243 the No.1 is a good look rifle alright and very cool to use.

    i like the idea of single shots, even my bolt action varmint rifles have singleshot adapters fitted.
