BSA R10 mark 2 out this afternoon in the snow

[zini 1,939]

Hi everybody,

 

I decided to take out my youngest lad out for a bit of shooting on one of my permissions this afternoon for a couple of hours.

 

The plan was to drive around in the car with the video camera and my favourite rifle, my .22 calibre BSA R10 mark 2 and see what was about to shoot .

 

Due to the deep snow we could only stay on the metal roads and not go on any tracks as we didn’t want to get stuck .

 

Because the lack of people where I shoot due of the time of year, and them all being on holiday I had the free run of the area .

 

The pigeons, doves and corvids were out everywhere which was good to see as I’ve been missing getting out on this permission over the past week to get my daily fix of kills .

 

I shot the rifle and videoed the kills while my young hunting apprentice (Dylan) picked up the shot quarry and brought them back to the car for me .

 

The footage will be added to my new DVD (Pure Air Rifle Hunting) which will be out later next year.

 

Here is the link to some of the footage from today.

 

I hope you enjoy watching.

only kiddin buddy some crackin shooting again but can i ask how do you set the camera up and take the shots?

[reggaeman 1]

thats some bloody quality shooting si mate.

you've obviously been using the "reggaeman force" on long distance shots

Yes Sniper its done from a tripod and video recorder mod that i have made that i sit in my car on the passenger side when i shoot.

 

Its nothing fancy and took about 10 minutes to build. A bit of velcro and some cable ties really.

 

I spot the quarry, zoom in close and set the camera in the right place then zoom out and press record. I then talk and introduce the shot and then zoom in to take the shot.

 

It was requested by a friend of mine on here Sib after my last DVD was made.

 

I hope that you find it effective

 

Zini

[zini 1,939]

Yes Chris the Force was strong with me today mate

 

You know what that R10 does mate at them ranges with them 16 grain FX pellets

 

After New Year you will have to come up mate and cull a few with me again.

 

Joey has his HW100KT now so the 3 of us should get a huge bag.
