a few hours out

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

 

Still buzzing from the trip up to woodga's i thought i would have a few hours out with the airarms and get used to the new scope i got off woodga.

I pulled up in the car and there was a woodie sat on a water trough so i stopped got the rifle,crosshairs on its head WHACK it was down and out,warm eveing so i went for a stroll round the fields ended up with five rabbits,i know there is only 3 in the photo but i was passing the farm house and i offered the farmer's wife a couple which she accepted.

Thanks for the scope woodga cracking bit of kit.

nice one mate what range do you sight your sights in at i sight mine in at 30/35 yrds is that about right?

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

My sights were zeroed in at 30yds so i just adjusted my aim point for rabbits that were less then 30 or where at 35 yds.

I don't shoot past 30 yds if i can help it as i not the best shot in the world.

I know people who can kill rabbits at 45 yds but i am not that good yet.

So i would say if your can hit the spot at 30/35 yds then zero your scope to that distance.

he is a good shot many a time i have said you will not hit that sure enough his trademark shot eyes out -_-

Have to agree with you rob,when i was up there was a rabbit about 45-50yds away and there was a wind blowing from the left and the teacher said he will get that i was thinking no way next thing i know the rabbit is kicking its last in the air,he also shot 2 or 3(can't remember) rabbits in under 2 mins one after the other .

Fair play to you mate, a nice touch and a good way to get brownie points ... thats what its all about.

Like you say localyokel it keeps them sweet.Her husband will not eat rabbit for some reason,but she loves it as long as i gut first which isn't a problem.

I shot some rats for her near her chicken shed and the next time i came down she gave me a carrier bag full of mushrooms to say thank you.
