nemasis243 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ah Ha Capatain , this should be the 500yrd egg club after what you did up the mountains when you were down with me, that wasnt a big target but you made short work of them buddy , Cany wait till November till you get down again, this long distance stuff is starting to grow , have a young guy (Young1982)who I took out on the foxes the other nite and is a very sensible and kean shooter, he hasnt got a centre fire yet but when you come down we will all have to get together and he can have a go and i feel he will pick your brains Ray about all calibres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well done Foxshot, like you said, at least you know that you done it, those they say they have when they haven't are only cheating themselves. Shame about the pigeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all miss buddy especially when you consider how small that pest is past 300yds , but you dont miss by much!!!! All the best...................
