Thread: How did you do on opening day ?

While you guys were hunting ducks, I was after bigger game, think I know who has the funner day........

Took an hr just to drag it across the yard with the chain block.
Think ducks would have been better.

me n mrs went out to try out her new 22 took the pup out as well to see what he would be like around goats but didn't see any this time he seemed ok with gun fire as well

My middle child shot on the farm with his Grandad and got 4...both very happy. I flew to Southland and we got 57 over the weekend (3 of us).

229 ducks between 5 shooters over opening weekend as well as 3 hares a fat as rabbit 2 possums and 19 pidgeons, not a bad effort







Sorry no pics of the possums they got plucked immediately

Shoulder was a little sore after shooting a big irrigation pond, didn't stop us from backing up on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday on a couple smaller ponds total tally is now closer to 250ish I imagine.

Shoulder not as bad as it looks I take blood thinners for a medical condition but still we all were very sore by the end of Sunday.

The A400 Plus is super soft shooting.

I bet, the whinny 1400 is pretty soft too but 200 rounds and shooting a few way out wide to the right and also a few behind made it impossible to shoulder it properly it was those shots that did the bruising. Mad keen or stupid not sure but the results speak for themselves.
Hoping to upgrade to something with a bit more capacity and inertia instead of gas, it was filthy after the weekend.
