i was expecting it to blow to pices and turn inside out like when you get a rabbit with a 223 it just fell over and kicked a little

Wasn't it comments like this and the ensuing slagging that nearly got the site pulled.

Good shot ! what range did you take that at? I do appreciate good fieldcraft but there is no doubt about it, that is great marksmanship and a lovely looking bit of land you have to shoot over. Well done.

that was a head shot at 200+ yards by the looks at it..it takes some skill to hit them..i shoot and i run dogs..what talent does a lamper have with a lurcher??? walk into a field with a lamp and watch the bloody dog do all the work!!! then have the dog retreve to hand..its funny how fieldsports are so fragmented

What a waste of a hare. I hate guns.

[lewismac1 1]

Its not a waste of a hare.

 

Nice shot,

 

But is it just me or does anyone else think its a bit unsafe shooting across what looks like horses in the paddock?

 

There sounds like a bad cross wind.

 

The horse on the right- you are missing it by about 10 yards

 

If they are horse's it is a rather unsafe shot.

Lol.

 

Horses don't usually go "mmmmmoooooo". Never found cattle to be bothered by daytime shooting. Horses are a different story, bothered both by lights and shooting. As for the wind, impossible to tell from a video, even light wind will screw up the sound on a cheap micorphone

for the record book, this is new zealand, coursing hares is not done alot here, why bother when gun ownership is so easy three hares can eat as much as a sheep so they get the bullet when the farmers needs them thinned out a bit.

 

the shot was perfectly safe lewismac, it is a 2506 not a lite .22 cal and the cattle are used to it

i'll get the range next time with a range finder as i counted 300 paces when i inspected the carnage, i shot a bunny at half the distance which had very little damage til i kicked it over and the bits fell out....goo shot av if ya wanna see it

[lewismac1 1]

Say that again John ? ... MMMooooOOOO

 

Ok my bad
