Gaoler 83 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Well, I was bored yesterday so picked up my HW95 .177 a tin of pellets and went out to a permission near me. Didn’t see much at all, not one rabbit, but as I walked the permission thinking it’s time to go home I noticed a young oak tree which had 5 squizzers after the acorns on the upper most foliage. So I sat down against a fence post in the shade in a normal t-shirt, camo trousers, camo hat & gloves, set my shooting tripod up and loaded the 95, I was about 30+ yards away I’d say, never even had my rangefinder with me. Anyway shot the first squizzer, a youngster, stone dead head shot, the others started chattering at me making loads of noise but never left the tree, 5 mins later one came into view shouting at me, squizzer number 2 down, off the others went again making loads of noise but staying put. This repeated itself until I’d shot all 5, the 95 was lethal and the .177 Air Arms where knocking them clean dead, all head shots. Not the biggest bag, still never saw a rabbit but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and again it made it more satisfying that I’d shot them with a springer… 7 Quote Link to post
