Challenge.

[stealthy1 3,964]

Now then you airgunners, had a phone call from an old boy I go ferreting with, he gave me an invite to go out with his .22LR, he said we would bag up with his gun, and that I would never be able to keep up with my airgun. Bollocks I said, this sounds like a challenge to me, to which he laughed We had aranged to meet at 8 o'clock this evening at some pasture one of his mates had cattle on. On arival I asked if we were using his motor or mine, to which the tight old get said that we should use mine, as mine had heated seats, the old scammer Let the banter begin I thought, I asked him at what range he had zeroed at, he said he had zeroed at 70 meters, right I said, I will drive up the field, 30 meters from the hedge on my side, I'll shoot the hedge, you shoot the open field with your superior blundabust, oi the old boy said, that hedge on my side is well out of range with out re-zeroing, tuff I replied, I'm the pilot, and the pilots word is final So off we went, I swear I could hear the old boy chuntering under his breath Stop he said, THUD! and I knew from the sound he had clocked up his first, just go and pick that up young'un he quipped, oh dear I thought to my self, this could be a long evening So back in the motor, HW100KT resting on my mirror, and a pair of red eyes in the bottom of the hedge, WHACK! And its one a peice, C'mon the pre-chargers I whooped But I had no sooner picked up my bunny and was walking back to my motor, when that well tell tale THUD rang out again, the old boy had bagged another, just pick that up young'un while your collecting yours. It was looking grim now as the old boy knocked over yet another one, I'll get this one young'un he said with a throaty laugh, I hope you slip on a cowpat you old git I thought to my self So on we went. WHOEEEEE the oldboy said, and THUD! He chalked up another bunny. I'll fetch this one for you old man I quipped, well he does remember the war so he must be antique at least This was not looking good for the pre-chargers, but not all was lost, I could just make out the red eyes and the outline of the rabbits head squatting in grass, so resting on the open door I let it have a blob of lead in the head, ho ho ho old man, chalk me up another I said trying to pile on the pressure The score was 4-2 to the OAP. We drove the next field, but strangely it was void of surface rabbits, and then the yellow eyes peered over the dyke top in the distance, a fox was making life hard for us, swing it right said the OAP, but by the time I had swung round the fox had dropped back down in to the dyke, bugger said the old boy. So onto the last feild of the evening, the old boy was confidently whistling his heart out. And then I saw another pair of ears drop onto the back of a squatter, WHACK! and I had pulled another shot back I drove as slow as I could up to the exit gate studying every clump of grass just incase a bunny was hiding behind one My final chance bolted towards the hedge bottom near the gate, I swerved left to line it up for the last shot of the evening, WHACK! YES! 4-4, I was chuffed with a draw How's that old man I said, credit where credits due said the OAP, but I'll whoop your arse next time, because I'm driving With all the excitement(piss taking) I forgot to take a group pic with the 8 rabbits and the guns, and I forgot to paunch the rabbits before I got home, so here are my four And thats not a black rabbit in the pic, its my lurcher knawing the leg off the bottom rabbit

 

 

Keep at them people.

Aghhhh Darth Stealthy.

 

What a brilliant read that was PMSL.

 

I had a vision of TWO old git's riding around, viechle bristling with Rifle barrels from every window.

Would love to have been sat in the back seat listening to it all going on.

To have that kind of banter and friend to shoot with is brilliant.

 

I wouldnt get to upset about forgetting the camera, age does that to people you know.

 

I do feel your pushing your luck with MRS S........first the car, then the patio, NOW the patio table.......fearless you are

 

Excellent read and good shooting Darkone

 

SP for your SAGA wallet.

Hey! I'm young enough to be the old boys carer The old boys good with the banter, very dry, so you have to give him a second look before you answer The patio table is nothing, wait until Mrs S sees the flies round the guts in the wheelie bin

Erm... Nope and nope. Neither of these is a contraction, nor do you need an apostrophe to indicate possession!
