T.h.l Air Gun Section Annual Meet,july 12,13,14 2013

[neil82 1,076]

This may sound like a strange question, but being new to airgunning and not yet having my own permission to shoot on, will there be the opportunity for someone to show me how to skin and prep a rabbit,or any game for that matter. I'd like to know how to do it properly and there's only so much you can learn watching youtube (just ask my missus).

 

Also is there any need for me to bring any fire wood, I work for an Arb company so can get some from work.

 

Cheers

 

Paul

never have too much firewood at a meet

Not sure about a whole prep.. if I leave the guts in they will start to get a bit funky ...

 

But its a simple enough process to go through im sure we could cobble something together

 

All depends if I hit anything on Thursday

Lol, yeah, wouldn't want to cause a stink. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you've got you eye in mate lol. Thanks

A THL meet can never ever have a fire big enough!

[fret78 87]

As it goes, I've frozen a whole squirrel (for bait, not sexual pleasure or anything, that would be weird) so I can bring that in a cool box and show you mate, its just a smaller and fussier job than a rabbit.

[fret78 87]

That would be brilliant mate. I'd appreciate the experience and don't mind if I get pegged with the job of apprentice skinner for the weekend lol.

11 days to go !!

Id better put my rifle back together....

Id better put my rifle back together....

I better test mine

 

did your chrony come? mine came today. need to test gun .. but had to go buy a battery for it first

[Lewis Ste 245]

I've got some range time booked in this week with the old man to test out these AA field and a ratting session to sharpen me up for the comp

[AR177 588]

yeah had mine for a cupple of days now, handy little things..

 

I'm worried now that im going to get too involved with the numbers trying to chase the perfect FPS! when i have noticed that there can be quite a difference in each shot but pritty much same POI ..

 

Ill do some more testing tomorrow.. i want to change scopes on my 97.. im starting to think the Falcon isnt the right scope to be on there..

 

Anyone else had it where a scope seems to be not suitable for a rifle? .. I seemed to have a lot better accuracy when i had my hawke 2.5-10x44 on there... probably gonna change back

 

Ill stick the falcon on the daystate and use it 'in case of emergency' or.. 'in case of me not being able to hit c*ck all with a springer'
