better night tonight!

[riflehunter583 58]

the other night i missed a fox on my own land. a close shot! so not been happy with myself. my excuse is then dam velocitors.

 

however, tonight i had a good night on a different patch with eley subs. shot more rabbits than in the pic but could not carry them all bak to the car the ones in the pic are the ones i could carry as the car was some way off.

 

i'm happy tonight tho as this fox was dropped on the spot with a .22lr sub at exactly yards!

 

a few rabbits were taken standing suppored at between - 90 yards!

 

so after the other nights poor performance I'm feeling much better about myself.

 

gen 1 has its limits tho! so does the .22lr, cannot wait for my .223 coming will have to upgrade the nv as well hope santa brings one (my mrs!). flaming cat!

Cobra?

 

Nice fox, yards is the farthest I shot one when I had my .22lr as well. He was uphill from me and the bullet passed right through his skull/brain/skull, dropped on the spot.

yea its a good old cheap cobra melin gen 1.

 

same here except mine was 60 yards! my first fox ever. outside my house one night! through the head. standing with my shoulder resting on the chimmny brest!

 

i though i had missed it completly as it just dropped on the floor sounds like the same as yours didn't twitch just dropped still.

 

even though the .22lr is not a ideal foxing gun i would never sell it unless forced to as i have had so much fun with it. think i'm going to have this fox stuff!

The subs have enough poke if the shot placement is spot on, if it's not though he'll run so be mindful of that People talk of head shots, but it's the brain you're after

 

I sold my .22lr and got a .17hmr, worst decision ever!

yea your right about that. i usually go for a heart shot. better chances of swift kills brain is a small target. at least if you miss the heart you can take out the lungs.

 

.22lr is a rabbit gun realy. even if rabbits are hit in the centre they just die!

 

why didn't you like the .17???

It's not as much fun to shoot as the .22lr and it's a lot more expensive. I don't know, I just really do dislike it. Maybe in th enew year I'll trade it in for a nice .22lr again! Then I'll have to get working on changing my semi auto shotgun for a nice side by side. That would be me done then unless I decide to scratch my deer itch.

yea cost per bank is high.

 

the crazy thing is you can rload .223 for less than hmr once the reloading kit is brought!!!!
