    +1 for that. Dropped a swag of hare, goose and duck at the butcher the other week.

    @GWH like all other respectable hunters whom dont hunt animals out past their known skill levels always have a back up plan... its often called "another round in the mag" or "quick follow up shot"

    Lead tipped, hard covered and filed in triplicate withIn the appropriate compartment.
    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

    Yes, not exactly taking pot shots, there's lots of validation and practice at greater distances and in way winder conditions before attempting shots at extended ranges on game, like this.....



    and this....



    Wind is the biggest factor really and in this situation the wind wasnt that hard to get a accurate handle on.

    My first lawn digger with the Stoeger RX20 – last time he craps and digs all over the lawn all night – 11am – he should have stayed under cover
    Expensive piece of kit - .22 and amazingly silent – screwed the trigger adjustment all the way and it works reasonably well for a slug gun
