This is vermin control


Recommended Posts

Hello shooter's..here's a few more picture's of vermin control.

 

Iv had 6 bird's in the trap today and a rabbit with early sign's of mixy.

 

The rabbit was at an esimated 50 yard's as i had no range finder and iv broken my glasses so i opted to take a shot to the chest as you can see in the picture..No washed pellet's where used in the dipaching of this rabbit. The wind was about 12mph and the pellet's i was using where not the pellet's id zerod my rifle with.

hi ya buddy

not going to put a dampers on things but did you really think it was a safe shot to take on a rabbit at give or take 50 yrds in the chest ?

is your airgun F.A.C ? and at 50yrds and having no glasses as you broke them you seem to be looking for an arguement

as i was reading what you said i feel like i had to say something i dont want you to think i am just going on at you about it but to be honest if everything was going againest you why take the shot ?

 

if this could be re-worded maybe ? quote ( The rabbit was at an esimated 50 yard's as i had no range finder and iv broken my glasses so i opted to take a shot to the chest as you can see in the picture..No washed pellet's where used in the dipaching of this rabbit.

as why would you use a pellet that you gun was not zero'd with and still took the shot to me i would see that as bad sportsmanship / hunter / pest control. as really shouldnt be taking chest shots with a sub 12flbs airgun and a pellet that was used in the barrel before so zero was off or could have been off and your glasses were broke.

 

but you take good pictures though

 

all the best

Good question's...but you seem to have a bee in your bonnet.

 

I shoot this field often enough to estimate how for that rabbit was, and iv used my range finder on the field often enough to have a very good judgement of the distance i was.. to where it was.

 

No i didnt have my glasses but hey.. theres this thing on my HW100 called a scope.

 

The pellets i was using where only slighty heavyer than the JSBs i zerod my scope with.

 

The rest is my own confidence in my shooting ability...without having to wash pellet's in fairy washing up liquid

 

My HW100 .177 Sporter is not FAC and i dont belive there is a law against me taking a shot to the chest if i wish to do so...I think the picture speaks word..Is that rabbit dead.?? Well i think so.!!

 

Bad sportsmanship bad pest control.?? I think the amount of farms and other lands i have say i know how to keep vermin under control.

 

Hope this cleared things up for you..if not its your issue...keep it to yourself :thumbs:

I honestly cant see a problem taking on long distance shots if you are confident and used to taking on that type of shot, i myself took on a lased 60 yards shot and killed it instantly in the head on Tuesday but i was confident that i could make the shot or i would not have taken it.I have been shooting for 53 years started when i was 12 and believe i can old my own when it comes to shooting Good on ya mate, if you can see em shoot em if your confident: Dave

Cheers.. theres not moch difference in 60 and 80+ yards a four year old could through a stone between this distance.

 

Its not a shot id take often but that evening i desided ..well why not...it worked out ok.

no bee in my bonnet buddy for a start

and i just dont like the thought of wounded animals running around until they die to be honest and thank you for your feed back

i am a fully certified pest controller and i also train marksmanship for a lot of big companies as well now including rentokil

so please dont try to undermind me ok matey its not nice.

and to be honest if i want to voice what i think then i worked for the country long enough to have freedom of speach

and if you want to shoot your sub 12flbs airgun out to rimfire ranges then thats fine and upto you matey and yes you are right there aint any law to say about shooting out to them ranges

but its still look on as wrong even with my dvd's and si's we had so much crap about shooting the distance we did i even got banned off site for doing it

so really buddy i was just give some advice out thats all last time i try to help or advise but again thank you for your info and feed back i have watched this site go further down every month i dont think i will be coming back on to this site anymore its a shame that it has to the dog's so to speak

In defence of Venomviper when I first read the post I thought it had been written in a way to provoke a reaction, I declined to comment due to constructive criticism being regarded as a personal attack most of the time.In time you will see some of the posts on this section are written before the brain is in gear.Just my view on things.Good to see the Larsen working overtime. :thumbs:
