    - cheap n nasty range finder I picked up off Ebay years ago

    - jersey from KiwiDisposals with padded elbows, makes for laying prone spotting the buggers all the more comfortable

    How is yours going? Mine seems happy out to about 550m. Way further than I'm ever likely to shoot.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Yeah it's still ticking along nicely, use it down Alex way for those long range bunnies and it works fine to @450m+ anything further doesn't really matter


    Old phone is old way back in 2010 !

    Have dropped it onto rocks so many times it probably thinks it lives there, gets dragged through the dust and dirt and still performs. I use it as a spotting scope on bunnies from time to time too, easier than using the scope sometimes.

    Binos,I find I shoot a lot more if I can find them. I used to think I could see most of them with my mk1 eyeballs but turns out I was wrong-yet again

    The second thing is hard as there is a few contenders, but probably the scrap of closed cell foam i cart around in place of a shooting mat.

    Range finder and Harris bipod.
    If bipod is counted as part of the gun, then next is phone too take pictures of my victims.

    Need to get a video camera sorted so can video plovers in their last moments before they explode.

    My acculong range quick detach bipod and my Leica 10x25 pocket bingos. The bipod takes 10 seconds to clip onto the base and is very steady
