air gunner 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Got up at first light today to shoot for a bloke in his garden. Arrived and saw loads of rabbits so I got about 4 rabbits in my line of fire first 10 mins but wasent confident they were about 40-50 yards. So carryed on and got loads more in sight but still I wouldent take a shot even though I knew I could hit em. Anyway when at last I decided to take the Shot my gun dident fire (I need to sort this) this happend twice. I went and cocked went round a corner and there was a rabbit 15 yards away standing shot..... Bollocks I MISSED so now 2 hours and nothing to show. Oh and I missed a pigeon from close too what makes it worse the owner wanted me to show him how to skin and make stew. Quote Link to post
farmboy99 1 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 oh dear sounds cringe worthy mate! what gun is it? is it a trigger malfunction or something? i missed a rabbit a couple of nights ago too id just filled me gun up for the first time since getting it (s400) and i didnt compensate for it and went straight over the little sods head! he was about 20 yards! kicked myself Quote Link to post
air gunner 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Soo cringe worthy. I'm using a gas ram BSA supersport. Will strip it down later. Not sure how I can show my face again there after that!! Have to practice lots!!! Quote Link to post

air gunner 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Shameful double post sorry. Edited January 24, 2010 by air gunner Quote Link to post
air gunner 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Lol yea!! I wouldent normally miss by the way this was an exceptionaly bad occasion and my trigger worked sometimes and not on others. Also my target shooting if fine from 15-50 yards I need more field practice with range estimateing etc but as you guys say a LOT of practice wouldent go a miss. Quote Link to post
air gunner 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Sorry stealthy mate I really am a plonker!! Yea you were half there instead it was macaroni cheese but bugger me once I sort my gun out tuesday or Wednesday morning it will be rabbit stew for the whole village. Unless of course I can't hit squat again. Quote Link to post
