millsy44 72 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hello boys, me and adam (smoggyadam) have just got back from a real stinker of a trip, it started with some plinking in his back garden while it was still light, we only had adams ultra tonight as my S10 if in the shop for repairs, we were zeoring in the new MTC Viper that he bought of bill on this site, after a few adjustments we were both getting really good groupings so all that was left now is wait for dark. Fully dark we set off for my permission (the one that we took 7 rabbits off last tuesday) we got there and there were bunnies everywhere, adam took the first 2 shots and missed both of them, total clean misses the next one presented itself and again it was on adams side of the car, he took the shot and the pellet struck home, but it wasnt well placed and the rabbit had to be necked we decided to re-check zero and we were bang on!!! Whats going on man!!! time for my first shot, he was about 25 yards so i took aim and dropped him with a perfect head shot bang in the kill zone not even a kick out of him the next two shots fell to adam and again he cleanly missed both rabbits Well within range, were getting grumpy now!! Next two shots were mine and i missed with both of them, one of the rabbits was exactly the same range as the one i had shot with a perfect head shot!! The last shot of the night fell to adam and again he missed, we dont deserve to be out shooting tonight and more importantly the rabbits dont deserve to be poorly shot, i drove adam home, and there were very few words but alot of head scratching going on, finished with 2 in the bag 1 each, but a less than satisfying night. 1 Quote Link to post
Ron Weasley 83 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Interesting read that mate. I'm not going to patronise you by suggesting some of the things that could have been to blame, but we all have off days- maybe this was yours? (Although you had one recently, didn't you? :tongue2: ). All the same, great write up and photos Millsy, as always. SPA. Quote Link to post
longy0710 2 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just got in from a similar night seen 2, one shot one miss!!! Nice one guys well done and good to see respect for our quarry Quote Link to post
donny D 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi buddy, be careful not to shoot leaning the barrel or silencer on the window frame of the motor, the ultra has a floating barrel so that could move your POI ! I was always missing when i rested the silencer on the landy wing mirror for shots, worked out that's what was happening ! ATB Donny Quote Link to post
johnboy19 38 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Shame about the unlucky night mate, but great pics though. Just put it down to being 'one of those nights'. That Ultra looks really good, the Viper and Twink (i think) top it off big time. Quote Link to post
