    The main goal will be to get a sika over my dog with an open sight 303, and I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun trying to get there!

    Update. Have gotten hold of an open sight .303 (borrowed from a fellow forum user) and on my first outing I managed to shoot 9 goats over the dog with it at distances ranging from 5-6 yards to about 120 odd.

    I think I'm converted.

    Probably keeps whining, head on a swivel looking around for another dog continuously whining somewhere nearby.

    I shoot a suppressed 7mm08 over him normally so he got a bit of a fright..in saying that he seemed to be pretty happy letting me walk infront of him to shoot once he had indicated on a couple. Hardcase how they figure things out.
