JPTfellterrier 65 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 well had my first go of a gun, had 8 shots on the target from 30 yards (picture below) and i think i did rather well considering before hand i had only ever fired a 243 before and that was just firing in to the middle of a field to get the feel of it, anyway the big hole in the middle was not me but where we stuck a bullet shell (i think its called) in the middle as a centre point then fired at some other targets and hit the centre circle (the yellow bit) again...then found that to get a bit boring so out came the glass bottles, we put them on the floor and up trees and i hit 3 out of 3....they exbloded briliantly hehe anyway im chuffed and shooting isnt as boring as i originally thought and im not as usless as i thought (didnt think i could hit a tree in a wood) so i think i may have to have a go at a few bunnys soon only problem i came across was iam left handed but the gun is designed for right handed people so had to hold it right handed but it didnt seem uncomfortable also thank you for the advice on the eye dominance thing,been practicing winking and i prefer looking out my right eye Quote Link to post
