Marksman 934 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Well...the wind eventually died down...(not before time either!!)and we decided to visit the local plot to see what was about. We got onto the ground at about 0130,quick check of zero after fitting the new cylinder and barrel band supplied by Adi (full review after further testing!)and it's a good job too.... I was out by a good 2" high and an 1" to the right...... 10 shots later and I was putting pellet on pellet in the centre of a 1" circle. Wor kid done the same and after fine adjustments to his we were ready to hit the ground. I done my usual paddock sweep as wor kid and Shannon headed for the "back field" as the "big field" was under 1-2" of water and was like a swamp, it wasnt too long before I had my first one in the bag, using a fencepost as a rest came a bang on 25m headshot, it keeled over without even a twitch! There were a few kicking about but not as many as usual and the reason soon became clear.... the radio went...it was wor kid.... "There's a big dog fox headed your way"..... no wonder bugs decided to scarper..... if only I had my FAC Anyway I made my way along the road and through the small wooded area to the other side of "the back field" where I met up with wor kid and Shannon, he had 1 also, a great 37m heartshot as it's head was obstructed by a telegraph pole and it was quite happily munching and didnt want to move! I made my way to the back of the field and along the hedgerow which accounted for the next 2 kills, both in between the 30-35m mark. I totally missed the next shot, a plain 20m standing shot but for some reason I couldnt stop swaying which put the pellet between the rabbits ears....a clean miss!....cant win em all! Back to the pickup for a cuppa at about 0330 where Shannon done a live update and thats where we left it as she was feeling tired and I had to get back home anyway for the wife to go to work. Another great night was had...stay tuned for the next write up..... My bag Wor kids bag The group shot Cheers for reading! Darryl 3 Quote Link to post
