davyt63 1,845 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 WEDNESDAY VERMIN CONTROL!! THURSDAY AIR RILE DART CHALLENGE THURSDAY Hi every one Rekowski & I had agreed to go to the ranges in devises, for a spot of plinking and get our air tanks filled up. So we arrived at 09:45am expecting it to open for 10:00am, but an hour later there was a no show by the proprietors. So we thought lets make use of this time, and gave Andy a ring who was only 10 minutes away. And we would go and have a good old plink!! Ready for the dart challenge Friday, and also swap a scope over for Alex (Rekowski) Then we got chatting that we haven’t been out hunting for a while, so it would be rude not too!! So after some clothes lending and changing and footwear, we were off!! In the day light we didn’t see much about (well I did) as they must walk around with there eyes closed!! Lol We had spotted a squizzer a fair old way up the field, and drove up to within about 35yds of it, and it went straight up the tree out of sight. Then I spotted it about 45 + yds away up another tree, while Andy and Alex were looking for it, as I was sat in the back of the truck ( didn’t want to get, my trainers dirty) lol I took aim took up second stage exhale THWACK! Still!! Clinging had to take another shot, so its nerves would release THWACK!! Down it came with a thud, one in the bag! Then after a short while a pigeon landed in the same tree, well it faced the same fate THWACK!!! Down it came, not much happened after this so back to Andys for grub and cuppa (THANK YOU, VERY!! MUCH ADELE) Now it was time to change to night vision and all three of us had NV units, so a quick zero and all was well, and we was of again. It wasn’t long before we had our first bunny, which was taken by Andy then myself had one; Alex had one but could not retrieve it. So all was going well, we had 6 bunnys, 1pigeon, 1 squizzer. But only had 7 quarry in the pic, Andy did you check your boots again!!! Lol Here is the pic FRIDAY Air rifle dart challenge As some of you will know us Wiltshire boys like are darts (air rifle style) So Andy put a post up not so long ago for another challenge, so it would be rude not to attend!! The contender’s Myself (davyt63) using AAS410K.177 & AA field 8.4gr Chaz (lighthunter) using AAS410K.177 & AA field 8.4gr Andy (Andy& Archie) using AAS410K.177 & AA field 8.4gr Andy (andyz) using Daystate MK4.177 & Accupels 7.85gr Alex (Rekowski) using AAS410K.22 & Bisley magnum 10.75gr Steve (Rossy_j) using AAS410K.177 & AA field 8.4gr Fred (soon to be T.H.L) using AAS410K.22 & AA field 16gr Here are some pics A couple more could not make it, but they missed a good crack and banter!! After we all had a zero check and refilled to 160bar, it was time to pull names out of the hat. Heat 1: Chaz V’s Andyz Heat 2: Myself V’s Fred Heat 3: Alex V’s Steve Heat 4: Andy got a buy, because it was his birthday!!! Lol So chaz and Andy to the bench first! You could cut the atmosphere with a buck!! Knife. A good start to the challenge, with Andy getting to the bell first! Next was myself and Fred, .177 V’s .22 lol fair play to Fred he put up a good fight, but I got to the bell first! 22 shots I think? Next Alex & Steve who were also good contest, with Steve hitting the bell first! Then the semi’s which was myself & andyz his MK4 daystate was no match for my £300.00 rifle lol With me reaching the bell with 22 shots again! As we had an odd number there had to be a shoot off, which Steve needed for his semi, which was Andy. And Steve went on to ring the bell first! Now it was time to defend my title, Steve one the toss and went first and got of to a flying start and shot number 5 instead of 3.lol BIG!! Mistake as this opened the door for me! I was flying along hitting all to 10 then up to 18 then 2 shots away then 20 bang that was it just the bell to hit, so taking a little more time, controlled my breathing very steady ,first stage second stage THEN!! I missed hit the plate, I knew I was in trouble if I missed. And Steve proved me right, and came right back from 10 I think and went on to hit the bell first!!! Well done Steve Steve is like “I can’t believe it†Here is some footage Me missing the bell, Steve hitting the bell. you can deffo tell the difference!! Oh!! Take no notice of the ugly ones!! Lol Would like to say thanks to Andy for putting up with us all. Well done lads a really good day. PS.and a BIG !!!!! THANK YOU TO ADELE!!!!!!!!! Regards Davy Quote Link to post

matt_hooks 188 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Davy, that bell's taking a bit of a battering, I remember being the first one to mark the plate around it by forgetting the correct hold over at 10 yards. Looks like everyone had fun, hopefully I'll make it over one day, when cash flow improves somewhat! :S Quote Link to post
