Well done lads keep it up good luck next time daz am sure u will as u have to good blokes in mac and sean avb blade

[bigmac 97kt 13,807]

Point taken but as you have stated it happens to us all if every one told the truth and to answer your first question the 97 yard er was taken down by two shooters at the same time and i have not shot at that distance since or before only at the range i like to zero my rifles in at between 27 and 35 yards that's what im happy with but if you feel confer-dent to shoot at longer distances then why not if you can ache ave the kill shot if you read some of my posts i hardly miss and the rabbit in question was only 27 yards away and hit in the head but as it was next to wood land it ran about 10 feet and dropped into the wood land but i could not find it these where taken off the bipob so there was no error im sorry if this has upset you but it was not meant to iv been hunting for the best part of my life and all it takes is a blade of grass or a standing weed or twig to deflect your pellet so it hits in the wrong place and we don't always see this happen once again im sorry about this it was not meant to up set eny one i just tell it as it happens and don't hold eny thing back if i miss i state that i miss ectra, ectra ect,ra atvbmac

Timmy when did u join the rspca a think if you have a problem with the way mac shot his quarry a think you need to keep your opinions to your self if you really want to get in to it did you ever think about wind slite recoil pending riffle am sure in your time u have shot in the wrong place before and maybe it was one ov thows nights for mac if you read and see other post and pks ov his shots have been spot on so why dont you just stick to your targets and leave the real shooting to us if you havnt got any decent and am sure am not alone best REGARDS blade and good shooting mac keep it up mate avb blade

Now now lads lets not turn this post into a slanging mach timmy was just putting his point over as was blade we all have hit our quarry in the wrong place at one time or another and we all have dune this over good distances to mostly when we were young and st upped none of us like to wound but this happens its part of the hunting life we choose to take all you can do is learn from it and put it to the side i looked for the rabbits for quite a while but could not find them and the one that daz 39 hit was a hw100kt in 177 and we all know that most 177 tend to go strait through the head and the rabbits just run before dropping LETS NOT TURN THIS POST INTO A SLAGGING MATCH we all can be wrong at one point in our hunting life atvb to you allmac :thumbs:

[blade1of1 59]

I like to keep things honest in my posts why say some thing if it did not happen that way i may save my self some grief if i did but that would not give an honest account of what happened.Timmy i second what blade has just said mate nice shooting with a springer and some good photos and kills mate don't take blade the wrong way Timmy he is a really nice guy when you meet him and will bend over back wards to help you in eny way he can atvbmac

We all injure something in our life time in shooting some just wouldnt be as truthefull as mac to come out with it on a open forum as he did but thats mac very truthefull in everything he does, I happen to know him well and can say he is a very good shot and this was just a off day,, keep up the good shooting mac and well done with your grand son you have learned him well my friend

[bigmac 97kt 13,807]

thanks to the both of you for your comments atvbmac

[j j m 6,555]

its a pleasure mate happy shooting

[Daz39 962]

Mac, I applaud you for taking out a new shooter and giving him a chance to improve his skills, that's the best way to learn, in fact I do the same myself where possible, it's a great way to make new friends and further our sport.

However I do have a problem with reports of wounding, I know it happens to us all at some point, it's inevitable.

On this thread you shot one rabbit at 20 yards, an eye shot so not the best placing, then a wounded rabbit that got away at 26 yards and another wounded escapee where you didn't state the range. Ok that's bad luck, but recently I questioned your statement about taking a rabbit at 97 yards?

So was that a pot shot, a fluke or what?

You said you practise at that range and are confident, I shoot targets at that range but no way would I take a shot at live quarry at anywhere near that.

None of us like injured animals being left, even rats so I think this thread just underlines my feelings. Wounding sometimes is inevitable, taking shots at more than sensible ranges is plain wrong and does nothing for our sport except give the antis more ammunition.

Lots of people saying "good shooting?"

No, I don't agree. Good to be out and about but 1 dead rabbit and 2 wounded ones dying in their burrows is not good by anyones standards.

Regards

Tim.

Tim,

 

I saw both Vislauk AND Bigmac refuse to take shots that night because of unclear line of sight or being too far away. I saw Bigmac stalk upto a rabbit from 50 yards to 20 before taking a shot. Bigmac isn't the kind of hunter to take risks or to cause suffering to an animal. He'd rather blank than do that.
