FRIDAY

 

We payed spike25blue a visit!

 

Hi every one

As above chaz & I went to spend the week end with rob AKA spike25blue,as it was about time he returned the favour lol, we set of at 6:30pm on a Friday evening and got to Robs just before 9:30pm so a nice steady drive and no stopping as rob had a treat in for us when we got there! And the treat was some rat shooting at his place of work which produces chicken feed for major suppliers

 

After are meeting and greeting ritual, a cup of tea and a cigarette. We got our selves equipped for a couple of hours of rat! Shooting and just a general look around rob often takes out rats and bunnys for his boss, who lets him shoot while at work (talk about being spoilt!)

 

We pulled up at his works and I had my AAS410K .22 with me chaz had his AAS410K .177 & rob brought out a bit of the dark side his HW100KS .22 he had to pick up a key to access the feed area, so this was an opportunity to lock n load, as we drove round to the back of the property where there is a piece of waste land and the bunnys are coming under the corrugated metal fence. Where rob often takes out bunnies. As we approach we spotted 3 bunniess out two by the skip and the other one, at the bottom by the hole under the fence from where they are getting through.

 

And I said to rob right hand down, right hand down stop! I put my LRF on it and it read 44yds, so buy memory I knew it was 1.5 mildot hold over. On came the illuminated ret, no need for a lamp as the flood lights lit up its silhouette really well. I lifted my AAS410k .22 up slowly and rested it in my arm on the car door, controlled my breathing and took up the first stage, cross hairs locked on, second stage THWACK! It was an Olympic back flip champ with a finish to die for another well placed shot with pin point precession with the AAF .22 16gr.

 

Here is where it fell

After taking this shot the others ran off, so we headed of round to the rats.

Just as we pulled up we spotted 2 as they ran for cover, chaz and rob went for a look around while I took cover in the car and waited. But these rats were quick I couldnt move quick enough to get a shot of RATS!!

 

When chaz and rob came back we sat and waited and chaz had his NV monocular with him, so we asked rob to go turn off the lights and he did now a better chance!

The plan chaz to spot em! Let me know where they were! 1 oclock, 2 oclock, you get the jist! And then I would flick the lamp and shoot em! Well I had a couple of shots but they were still to fast me tinks. Or im rubbish at shooting rats lol

This went on for an hour or so, and then we decided to call it a morning! Because it was. And we had to be up early, for some stubble shooting!

 

SATURDAY/SUNDAY

 

A couple of hours later we were back out, armed with 3 thermoses and a batch of Sarahs lovely home made caramel cakes! And robs gammon & mustard rolls!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

 

Once we got in the field, we had a quick zero check! And headed of up to the stubble fields. With are eyes wide open watching for any movement, rob was leading the way as we reached the top of the field a bunny jumped straight out in front of rob, and just stared straight at us all we all froze and then rob lifted the HW100KS .22 up to his shoulder and done the necessary! .22 lead to the head and down it went. A standing shot at 25/27 yds after walking about 300yds and stopping then have to take the shot! A lot of heavy breathing going on. So well controlled! Shot rob.

 

As we rounded the corner we spotted I think it was 3 bunnies out, I couldnt see that well as I was at the back of the gang lol. And chaz was off, in and out of a fallen tree and up to some farm machinery. And rested his AAS410K .177 slowly on it and took the shot, down it went another well placed shot, Well done chaz.

 

We had all bagged with in 24hrs and now for some static shooting, I headed of west where I seen some wood pigeons, chaz went south and rob went north.

I got my self set in to the hedge row which snugly fit me! And I was watching these two trees and the hedge row as well

Well after being here for an hour I had not seen a thing, and then I could here the crow calling! I turned around to see two of them in the field behind me, about 40yds away so managed to turn my self around with out them seeing me and took the shot, and totally missed! And of they flew to live another day. Another hour must have passed and a spotted a bunny jump out of the hedge and in to the stubble. I had my AAS410K .22on my knee rested in my forearm took up the aim as I got my eye to the ocular eye piece of the scope, I just caught sight of its cotton tail bouncing its way down to chaz, and guessed its out come lol

 

Buy this time it was elevenses so a cuppa was in order and a gammon roll or two!

And a quick fag (yes! bill I said fag) after our break it was back in to the same positions and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait. Nothing else showed for me and it was time to go see Adi at A&M Customgunsmiths. We always pay a visit to Adi when we visit robs, well its rude not too! Plus he is Robs future father in law.

Adi is always pleased to see chaz & me because we are like to kids in a sweet shop how much is this! How much is that! and we always spend a small fortune lol, and we all leave with smiles on our faces.

 

Now it was back to Robs and a quick kip before our next session, a 12 hour stint!

As you all know I do like my 12 hour sessions! We got our selves ready tea, rolls, choclit, oh! And rifles and ammo lol and rob took us to a local golf course, which we had a good look a round, but as it was a still evening they werent playing. I think we all managed 1 shot each or two me tinks! As things got quiet we left the golf club, and headed back to the stubble fields for a drive around this time.

 

Well we had a drive around for some lamping! Seen a couple, but they were to far away. And thought we would have a quick bit of shut eye, to recharge our batteries.

Well between all the farting! And snoring! I could not sleep so stayed awake till sunrise! Which my reward came in the way of a 3quater grown spring out of the hedge, so up came the AAS410K .22 I took aim rested of the door THWACK! Over it went, and it woke the two trolls who were farting & snoring all bloody night! Lol

 

A couple of hours later well 9:30am to be exact, we headed of home for some breakfast and a kip before the long drive home, but not before we pay Adi another visit! To pic up andyz rifle and parts.

A great week end in good company!

 

Thanks to rob & Sarah for making us feel welcome
