CharlieSlade 14 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I went for a 1 hour walk with my air rifle on one of my dads friends land which is about 3 minutes away from my house, there is usually lots of rabbits about but as the cover crop has grown up above knee height it is very difficult to spot them. I went across the upper fields (where the cover crop is) and saw nothing other than pheasants and partridges. But as I was waking down the path which runs through the land I saw an adult rabbit sat grazing oblivious to me or much else, as I slowly walked up I noticed a pheasant sat near it ignoring me too, it had cut tail feathers so I assume it's one of this years released. Anyway I went for the crouching shot about 25 yards away, took aim, a little hold under and thwack a .22 pellet right in behind the eye sent it bowling over and a couple kicks was it. Later on I was walking further up the path when I saw a rabbit about 15 yards from me, aimed and missed. Was too easy I'd not taken my time and rushed the shot, the rabbit sprinted to the nearby hedgerow, I'd seen a couple of kits aswell still sat there but as the landowner is reasonably casual about the rabbits I left them for another day when they're grown up. This is my first airgun hunting write up so I hope you enjoy Edited July 21, 2014 by CharlieSlade Quote Link to post

Rez 4,957 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 What and earth have you done to that Lightning?! Looks like it should be used in Jungle warfare against the yellow man. Good shooting. Quote Link to post
CharlieSlade 14 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Cheers, as I bought it second hand the gunshop owner said that if it is wrapped up in good condition it will still retain its value well. So I can px it for a shotgun when I get my certificate Quote Link to post
