hiho 5 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ridiculous length shots at any quarry are the sort of thing I used to do when I was a kid. Now I prefer to see how close I can get to them before they bolt, I'm not starving for food or desperate to kill something for bragging rights. 12 yards from a rabbit in the open and 3-4 yds to a Woodie in a tree being my best so far, I got to within 7yds of a rabbit once but as I lowered my head to the scope for the shot it scarpered!Try practicing your fieldcraft kids i aint no kid. and i'm not advocating long shot's. just saying the can be done and as for fieldcraft i'v had quarry that close i could touch it. did that rabbit have mixy Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Personally I think getting within 20-25 yds of a Rabbit (without sneaking through a hedge or round a corner) is really good going, Hares from the few I seen, seem to be either too easy to get within range (just walk up to them) or almost bloody impossible!!! (bolting when you get within 100yds of them) Just a quick question for the guy's who are shooting quarry at 60-70-80yds, I presume your not using rangefinders (as their quite expensive) to get the range of the shot quarry, so do you carry 100yd tape on you whilst out or are you just counting your paces???

If you practise long enough on targets at different ranges, there's no need for a range finder if you know your gun, you'r scope- and how to use the mildots-, the field your hunting on........ I took lots of bunny's at 60 yards with my formal 97k .177 (14ftlbs), even at 100 yards with the Techstar .22 (between 30 and 38 ftlbs). Spot on and instant death. Oh yes, and sometimes I missed one, just like everyone Quote Link to post
8shot 191 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 my mate had a hw77 .25 i seen him drop a rabbit about 45 yards he said he aimed around 2 rabbits high plus it only knocked it out hung it on a tree come back and the poor bugger was still alive Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I can't help but think that some of you are so stupid you cannot even see how stupid you are. It is threads like this that get the media and politicians reaching for the statute books, when air rifles are banned, or only available on licence look to yourselves!! Quote Link to post
