day time & high moon hunting


Recommended Posts

H.F.T 20/03/2011

 

Hi every one

Well Si was back again this week end; Andy put Laura and Si up. While the girls went shopping we went hunting.

 

We had a zero session at Andys, then down the gun shop to fill his bottle and a drool over the new synthetic stock

Oooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Very nice it looks.

 

After wiping the drool from our mouths we went back to Andys for a bit of lunch, then got ready to go out shooting. Of we set about 2:30pm ish as I remember I was moaning there was only 3-4 hrs of sun light left!

 

As we went up the lane towards the permission, we were on the look out for the feather quarry this afternoon. As we were ¾ way up, I spotted a jackdaw in a tree who!! To Andy slowly opened the door HW100 up cross hairs on target ¾ mildot hold over THWACK! Down it came! Our first of the afternoon, it wasn’t long and Andy had a shot on nice long range pigeon THWACK!! Dropped like a stone. Si had a bunny in the evening as did Andy.

 

And as the moon was so bright! We called it a day, as we all had to be up early for a H.F.T day.

 

We all met up Sunday morning @ 10am. Myself, chaz, Andy, Si & Laura, Alex, Paul, Fred, Brian, & tom

 

I was using

HW100 dressed with a 3-12x44 MTC Mamba on mag 6, using AA fields .177
