Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Ayup lads and lasses! Got to the tree to check zero, as I haven't used the hw100kt for a while and saw 2 easy woodys that I could have got, (19 yards away!) if I knew for a fact the rifle was zeroed, which I didn't so I left them to it sat down got comfy and waited a few mins for my heart/ pulse rate to settle so I could zero perfectly, there was zero wind at this time so I wanted to be 100% sure it was accurate results. I took the first shot and it smacked the 28 yard target a bit to the right, nearly bang on.. Then 2 squirrels appeared out of nowhere! one ran away and one ran towards me and stopped 20 yards away. within 10-15 seconds of the first shot to check zero this squirrel was on its way to the floor with a jsb exact 15.89 ripping straight through its head, entering just under the ear Checked at 34 yards aswell and the holdover I calculated last time was still spot on, even though its a lot colder today (5 degrees) than it was last time I 'calibrated' Das Gewehr Then went for a quick mooch after hearing some undergrowth rattling about, which lead me to 2 more squirrels.. Got comfy rested on a broken down fence and waited for the one that was 33 yards away to pop its head out.. During the wait I was watching a lovely woodpecker going about his day, when the squirrel climbed slightly and sat 'squirrel style' in the V of the top of the trees trunk. From where I was I could not get a headshot as there was a branch sticking straight up, after a toss up in my mind the decision to shuffle over a bit and try for a headshot, outweighed the heart and lung shot So a quick shuffle in the loud leaves under my knees.. and.. the squirrel must have been deaf as it didn't run away! so 3/4 mildot placed on the brain area, and down he goes Mr Woodpecker not even bothered about the slight noise from the rifle, or the squirrel crashing onto the floor After this the day passed without much event, I was chilling in the hide waiting for something to eat my peanut butter, but after about 45 mins nothing showed up and I got bored, so I had a plink!! Just cant help myself Knew I should have too the springer, or the pump so I could have stayed longer! I won't bore you with the exact story of the mini plink I had, basically there was an on-off wind that I was taking my shots in between, but it caught me out a couple of times Das Gewehr performed flawlessly, I let it down with my wobbliness lol Pics coming soon. 1 Shot SKoT 4 Quote Link to post
