morning stroll

tommyboy26

I got up this morning at half six to take a stroll with the rifle as i hadnt been out in a while. Got to the field at just after seven and the sun had just come out but it was still very misty. Walked for a good hour enjoying the sun and the walk but no sign of anything. So i decided i would head for home. Nearly back at the car when i scan the next field through the scope and i see bugs sitting sunning himself. Im trying to decide if i should take the shot as its further than i usually try. I think **** it there is a big backstop behind him and no cattle around. Down on the ground look through the scope and he is still there i aim about an inch over his head and bang i get him in the head i head in a straight line to him counting the paces. 147 i count which is the longest kill shot i ever got happy as a pig in ****e i pick him up and into the bag with him turning on my feet i notice another bunny down the field and chance a free hand shot {which i never try cause im crap at them} bang and thump down he goes. Step it out and 54 paces into the bag and back to the car very happy with my morning stroll. I will be trying longer shots from now on and freehand ones too

I have that many friends looking for rabbit off me i give them all away i may start keeping some for myself.

Im going for head shots and usually get them or jusr at the top of the shoulder.

Went out with a mate of mine who bought a led lenser m7 with filters and i was very impressed with it but still havent decided which light i will get.

The 17 hmr are great fun....
What I did to pratice was with mine was I bought a box of clays and set them out at 25yrd intervals out to 300 yrds,starting at 125yds.. Its a good way to figure out your hold over or if you have a mildot scope even better....:cool:

I just prop them up with a rock or a handfull of dirt.
