maybe the heron was gunna try to eat one of your decoys. i have seen a heron eat loads of things. moles, rats, minks even saw it have a go at a black bird. there fiesty,.
i just tried my BSA lightning xl without its scope (bearing in mind its got a scope rail, no open sights and the barrle is fully sleeved in a sound moderator) and could see how this could be useful for feral and rat shooting in close conditions (under 10 yards) i could hit a tin can really quickly and 4/5 times i hit it. am quite surprised.
my cousin (9) whas complaining at me because she said it "was cruel to shoot the cute little innocent squirrels" as she was tucking into a beef burger so i said "what about that chopped up cow your eating" and she ran off crying and she told on me and i was told off. stupid little brat.....
my family arent itreted in hunting at al and they say its "bad for me". this is the reasons i cant gert out hunting much. they only like it when they get to eat what i shoot.
neither my dad or my mum do any form of hunting snaring dogging or anything, its just we have a big garden and my mum dose a lot of gardening and woodys were earting all the cabbage so i asked if i could start hunting and they said that i have to pay a third of the gun wich is roughly..... £125 so i saved for ages and got a BSA lightning xl wich i was chuffed cos i wa told there one of the best spring guns on the market and now i do all forms of hbunting and have basc membership.
i think there are a lot of products designed to catch the shooter. although i have odered a JSR 3-9x40 flip up lens covers, sunshade on top thingy scope. it will replace my crap smk 4x40.
got a used smk 4x40 scope going for £3 to anyonwe that wants it. it has a few small scratches on it but it works fine. i am trying to get rid of it as i am getting a JSR 3-9x40 scope.
i've got a well used smk 4x40 scope going for free if any young hunter wants it. its got a few of scratches and it isent zeroed but it works. it comes with its box.
its in the picture to the left
