last weeks ratting.

[Jonjon79 13,358]

I decided to give the Mk3 it's first proper trip out last week, on the rats at the manor house permission - there's usually a good few around the grain silo and the chicken sheds.

 

First things first, I tried a couple of different pellets to see if I could use something with a bit more clout and less penetration.

 ....... I ended up opting for Baracuda Hunter Extremes 

 

In total we got about 20 rats - mostly off of the frame work on the silo.

The Baracudas were cracking them hard with a lot of noise and, barely any movement after they'd been hit.

....... Most of them just fell off and landed in the ditch at the side.

 

I missed 1 easy rabbit that I saw in the orchard 

 

The few rats that we saw by the chicken sheds didn't stand a chance - a couple were picked of while sticking their heads out of their holes.

 

All in all, I couldn't ask for this Mk3 to perform any better

I did mate - it worked a treat

 

........ In fact, I'll concede defeat - this zimmer frame is a cracking bit of kit.

It's so much more stable than the cheapo one that I lost

I think this came from the same collection that the Merlyn was in.

 

To be honest, it's running so well that I can't imagine parting with it - it's just those electronics that make me a little wary.

Good luck mate

 

I haven't tried this as a platform with the legs out yet - I kept the rubber band thingy done up and used it as a monopod.
