BSA R10 and HW100KT in action yesterday and today

[zini 1,939]

Hi all,

 

Here is another small post to give you something to read and watch as the forum seems pretty quiet at the moment.

 

I decided to take out my old trusty today for an hour (BSA R10) to give her a shoot .

 

The weather was pretty foggy but a few bits were out .

 

The first shot was on a squizzer sat at 27 metres. It was standing really still thinking that I couldn’t see it.

 

I placed the cross hair .5 of a mil dot hold under and bowled him over with a head shot .

 

The second shot was on a woody sat in a tree with his mate. I lased the woody and found it to be sat bang on 40 metres.

 

I gave the woody a 2 mil dot hold over and released the second stage on the R10.

 

The woody fell straight out the tree .

 

On retrieval I noted that the woody had been hit straight in the brain .

 

Luckily for me both shots so far have been captured on video.

 

The third shot was at another woody sat again with his mate again.

 

I decided to shoot the lower of the 2 birds straight through the top of the shoulder blades and into the heart as it was turned away from me.

 

I released the shot and the bird fell straight out the tree stone dead but behind a huge green fence and onto an adjacent permission which is still mine but a huge journey around the fence to retrieve the woodies .

 

Its mate didn’t move and fly off so proving how quiet the R10 is with a second silencer fitted.

 

I went for the second shot on his mate this time going for a neck shot to prove my theory about neck shots not being that good on birds.

 

I hit him straight in the neck and watched him yet again as yesterday fly 10 metres before hitting the floor stone dead yet again on my other adjacent permission .

 

Those two will be fox food but I still have the footage on video camera .

 

The morel in this story is with my experience don’t take neck shots on birds with either a .177 or .22 calibre rifle if you want to guarantee a instant death.

 

They will die but not always fall straight away to the floor as they do every time with a heart or head shot.

 

All in all it wasn’t a bad hour’s work but a shame that I couldn’t collect the other 2 woodies for the photo.

 

I have put a bit of the best footage together, not all the footage because some was rubbish due to birds flying off and dying etc from yesterday and today on a short clip for you guys to watch .

 

I hope that you enjoy watching it and seeing what a BSA R10 and Weihrauch HW100KT is capable of .

 

Here is the link to the footage

Fabilous shooting Mate The long crow was superb. What is the shoot-an industrial estate?

Graham

[zini 1,939]

Thanks for all the positive comments people .

 

Sorry Tony mate, you need to download them drivers quickly or get a new sound card

 

No not a industrial estate mate but an old RAF air base.

 

Yes Chriso my newly released DVD does cover tips and techniques in shooting and trapping, ferreting and game preparation, equipment and setting up equipment. I don’t bother with the crap that some DVD's show. My DVD gets you up close and personnel with the quarry.

 

No problems John, just give me a shout when you have some spare money pal

 

Cheers Solo mate, I have been practicing my marksmanship for many years now to get it to where it is now both with air rifles and larger calibre rifles.
