millsy44 72 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Me and smoggyadam have got the permissions, got two of the best rifles and scopes on the market and weve got the enthusiasm, but due to our last (abortion of a hunt) we want to see how other people would shoot our permissions, so this is an invite for a day of teaching and learning, we also want to know and see how you lads would tackle the "flighty" rabbits on our newest permission, apply below if interested, we do take a few rabbits but we see and miss alot more than we shoot, on the range theres not many that would show us up, but when it comes to "quarry" in our sights we seem to lack something.....................................

Thats just according to the previous owner, bill aka "sweeney" is sending me his chrono up in a few days, so if it is that high, ill get it tweaked down, doesnt really help with my question, as i dont see how the power refers to anything ive asked...............

You think ?? So a rifle thats 11.8 is as accurate as one thats 10 ?? And you think havin the best rifles on the market will make sure you get the numbers you want ? Field craft is the key to any sucessful hunt , its the be all and end all . 1 Quote Link to post

rapidjenky 97 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 day or night? what arnt you happy about? surely you dont want to kill everything in sight? when i go to mine i take what i need and leave the rest for next time. im always happy even if i come home with 2 or 3. if your wanting to clear them in big numbers and there flighty then air rifles arnt the answer. get the ferrets in when the season`s ready. im no field craft master but i do enough to make sure i get what im after and if its just someones else`s point of view your after then ide have a wander round with you jenk.

The farmer wants a job doing mate, i have my sgc and could take large numbers with that, over ferrets but id prefer using the rifles, Just wanting to see how other people would approach the permission, see what theyd do different to us really.

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hiya Peter. Got to say Buster is right in what he says mate. Keeping down around the 11 mark is better than reving the nuts out of the rifle. They work more efficiently, and are more consistant, something I have learnt. Id say relax, and enjoy what you do, no sense putting yourself under pressure to bag up. Having only just got the permission, and seeing the potential, you might be a tad excited.......I know I would be Enjoy your day, anything in the bag is a bonus mate. From your other posts in the past, its obvious you both know what your doing, youve just had a bad experience with the new rifle, and on the permission. Rewind and have another go mate, be better next time ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

Id get that looked Its not stuck , you just chose to ignore it the first time i said it , so i thought ide point it out to you , again Mind you , judging by this quote , by you - now then bill, ermmm where do i start, just couldnt get on with it bud, 500cc bottle weighs a ton, constantly fighting gravity to keep the gun raised and steady, dont have access to a chrono so i dont know about power or power consistancy,power curves or sweet spots, big lump of a gun, but its no good looking the part if i cant carry the b*****d thing lol god knows what it weighs with the viper sitting on top Field craft is the least of your worries Thanks Bill at least someone has a bit of knowledge .
