I will be taking pic's but not sure if i will be able to upload them tonite if not i will upload em tomorrow morning. We are going to start with snaring the fenceline....before we head out to check zero's and start getting some for the pot.

StevoSmith 147 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I did the last hours driving thats when tus got 2....one was a cracking shot of about 35-40 yds so big thumbs up for tus Quote Link to post
tus 22 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 cheers for last night steve some nice shoots last night shame about the 10 yard one and the one you droped and then ran of and the ones with ringsting 1 Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) cheers for last night steve some nice shoots last night shame about the 10 yard one and the one you droped and then ran of and the ones with ringsting Dont worry about it mate as it happens to us all from time to time. As long as you try to be as humane as possible and finish any wounded quarry with a swift second shot. 10 metres can be a sneeky range to kill quarry at Tus. Alot of lads zero a .22 at 30 yards (27 metres) and on a avarage mag like x6 you will still need to apply 1/2 a mildot of hold over to hit the rabbit in the brain. The barrel will need to be lifted to bring the pellets trajectory up. If you dont you will go under its chin of hit it in the lower neck area if unlucky. Even with a .177 zeroed at 30 or 35 yards you will still need to apply a slight bit of hold over at 10 yards to produce the best shot possible. You then add other human error to the equasion like wobble and shooter skill and you are setting yourself up for a 10 yard miss. Si Edited January 27, 2011 by zini Quote Link to post
tus 22 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 cheers for that zini the rabbit was sat in front of the door and someone missed the rabbit the other one steve hit it drop it around 35yards it was lying on the floor then it just got up and did one Quote Link to post
