sir-slots-alot Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi Chaps, The last few days have been windy as hell here in sunny Cheshire. After spending most of the day sulking because of the weather, I decided to grab the 17 rem and stretch my old legs. I also wanted to try getting some video of the shot , from the shooter view. I fitted a video cam to my Victory , abit of a " Heath Robinson " job , but it seemed sturdy enough. I also took my regular video cam as back up in case the scope cam was a failure. Actually videoing was the trickiest part - your not able to hold the rifle in the normal way - so I couldn't put my shoulder behind the butt ... this make the rifle kick more than normal. Anyway - I got some footage which aint half bad. I have combined the footage taken from both camera's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxXoHUlOYNY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JobcH4NjAlY ATB Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Alan, thanks for taking the trouble to produce & post these, very watchable - especially when I haven't taken the rifle out for a week because of the wind and rain. I'm impressed that you manage to make videos at the same time as shooting: I find it difficult enough, while grovelling prone on the ground, to juggle the rifle on a bipod, its rear bag under the butt heel, binoculars, rangefinder, click-chart and ammo, without arranging a video camera too - presumably on a mini-tripod or some such. And my rabbits don't usually stay in one spot while I faff around! I'm impressed with the terminal effect of those tiny bullets at 200-300 yards. Regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lot of faffing about. Most of the time the impact of the 17 cal bullet, is un-spectacular - doing no exterior damage to rabbits or fox - just a big slap and no exit. Other times it can kitform small vermin -- I suppose it depends on what the bullet hits and its velocity. Personally, I prefer No exit Thanks for taking the time to comment.

How did you hide the glow from the screen? I made a little box that fits around the screen and shaped it to fit my bonce, I also wear a face veil, just to make sure that my face is't back lit. Thanks for the kind comments Guys. ATB Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
