Two more hit the deck


Recommended Posts

image.thumb.jpeg.0d5acc881448de0be8006b6d7f25687f.jpegwent out last nite at 8.30 , the wind was very favorable blowing down the wood line strate into my face , I put out 3 tins of dog meat , with mixer , and some chicken wings at 150 yards from the truck , had the .223 sat on bean bags on the bonnet, loaded and safety on 

got back in the truck, with the passenger window down, looking out thro with the nite spotter, 

the fist one came along after about 10 minutes, I shouted at it but I don't think it heard me as it just kept munching away , I waited till it was head on and took the shot in the bib (bottom fox)'

it hit the deck , game over , 

i was going to retrieve it , but then thought that I had read somewhere that leaving a shot fox is some times not a bad thing to do , as it doesn't stop other foxes in the area from coming in 

so it was left where it lay , 

i thought nothing will be about for a while now so out came the flask , I'd just poured out the tea 

and had a quick scan , fuc me there was number 2 munching away on the free dinner, l knock the tea over , burning my bleeding leg getting out the truck , and swearing like a good un 

thinking after all the noise I've made its bound to have buggerd off , 

finally got behind the gun turned on the n870 , still swearing to my self I looked tho the unit , and to my amazement it's still there with no idea that I'm there to,  must like them chicken wings 

same again waited till I was able to get a bib shot , and with in a minute a 55g vmax found the spot . 

After all this commotion, I ragged up and went home , a happy man with a burnt leg 

as I type this I'm in bed , bandaged up , and the wife waiting on me , which is very rare ! 

Roll on the windy nite , and no friggin tea , the two don't mix 

happy hunting lads

 Cracking shooting, I’ve left young ones in the field and waited for others to come along to some bait and they don’t seem bothered by it’s bro or sister on the floor, it doesn’t work in the later months of the year as soon as they get a whiff of death they are off, with age comes wisdom ?

Nice work David ,shame about the tea but we all know to stop a quiet spell either roll a fag ,open your flask or put the rifle down and turn round to have a pee and last but no means least start eating a sarnie

      Well I got 2 unused table clamps and a need for stability. 
      Cant afford the new style tripods <on furlough pay>,so I thought make your own. So drill n tap m10x1.5 in the base of said bracket .
      Cut 2 pieces 7.5x3.5cm steel plate and fix to clamp .Drill hole and fit split pin to stop wind out in turnscrew. Then cut leather patches to fit and bond with contact adhesive, allowing 24 hours  to cure and Bob's your job.
      Stable, free and hands free atb

      While you were playing with your new rifles I went and got me a 3" hatsan ford escort 12g and to be honest I am quite impressed! 
      I put 28, 29, 32 and 36 gram loads through it and home loads some of which were subsonic and it cycled the lot! And with no O ring present!
      I eventually did put an O ring on it but it was to thick and just would not allow the hammer to strike the firing pin although the action was locked. It's quite a precise fit. I later fitted a smaller section ring and now it fires. The reason for the ring despite perfect function without one is that the barreled action is quite loose without it but with it it all snugs up nice.
      The one stock adjuster made it a perfect fit for me too. As autos go it is a pleasant cyclic sensation too, not effecting aiming much at all. It's no lightweight but not ridiculous either.
      No pictures as it's just a cheap auto and I have been busy building an arc to survive the floods!!
      Now, just got to wait untill September and hope the new world order movement don't get a knee jerk law passed banning duck and goose shooting one day before the season!
      Oh yes, no oil in the action at all !
