Thread: Enthusiasm bitten me, wonder for how long

So have got a forestry permit with the intention of chasing pesky quail.

I got all keen and decided might be a good idea to sight in the .223 at a longer distance than 10m just in case something bigger with 4 legs should happen past. Its a bit strange cause in the 12 years I have owned it I have never fired it at anything other than paper and steel in competition (3 gun) .
I am not really built for steep hills unless its going down them so this might be a bit of a jolly (good laugh)
Haven't bothered reloading hunting ammo , Just brought 2 packets of off the shelf Federal 64gn stuff, ouch. First factory ammo I have brought in 20 years.
Scraped around and and found a small mag for it.
Not the most accurate load but can hit the 4 inch plate at 250 repeatedly so should be ok. Scope is only low power 1-5.5x so no super duper shots for this old bugger.

Now I just need to find something to point it at and I don't mean quail.
