Thread: I wasn't seriously expecting to hit it.........Fluke shots.

@Allgood your Commonwealth Games Gold medallist hunting buddy should have taken his shot offhand, can’t believe you let him use the bench…

I did try to time kicking the bench with him squeezing the trigger .......my timing was off though.

Hunting with my mate, we were green as teenagers. I shot a turkey with my .22 and my golden retriever bought it back to us . I had aimed for the chest but was quite surprised I had actually got it in the head. Anyway we were preparing it at camp for a spit roast and my mate asked me " where did you say you shot it?" I pointed at the hole either side of its head like he was an idiot. He put down his knife and replied "thats its ear holes dude."

I put a spray can of dazzle on the track, and we drove 4/10 of a mile on the HQ's speedo, then had a lash.

At the time I had a #4 .303 with a 2.5x Nikko Stirling on top. The reticle was a post with a thin crosshair slightly below the top of the post, and at 100m it was about 150mm wide, so at 640m or so was about a meter wide....

My mate hit close enough to knock the can over, and so all we could see was the end of the can. It looked like a speck in the scope, and I just centred the can on the top of the post, then lifted it up "an amount" and let strip.

There was a cloud of pink paint, and I stopped shooting for the day. Nothing more to prove.
