varminter Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Just recently got some new land so went for a wonder after a crappy week of weather .. So i took the anchutz 22 and me 6ppc running 58 v-maxs , ended up with 39 bunnies , 2 crows and 2 magpies.... Heres a bunnie taken at 378yds............. And in this same place i left a couple of bunnies to tempt the corvids for later!!! Well it worked , we came back a hour later after thinning out some more bunnies , when these 2 magpies was feeding on them , So i dailed in for a 353yds shot and for 4mph wind and waited for the magpie to give me a nice side on view - which he did!!! One 353yds magpie................. To sum up a cracking day............... All the best.............. RAY.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest varmartin Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Well you did have some fun Varminter, and some good long shots too ! ;) I had a good day as well, working till 11pm. Rescued 6 people and all went home happy Had a near miss on the way home from Looe in Cornwall, driving around a bend and a car came flying towards me , spun around , went up the hedge and ended on its side right in front of me 10 foot from my van :o ... Called police and ambulance, dragged the woman from here car ( out through the sunroof )and made her sit down..before she fell down !! She was unhurt , but he boyfriends car was a wreck !! Oh well ...another day on the road Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Nice going on the Rescues and very lucky with the mad lady, if she had hit you, might have cramped your shooting for a bit Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Your a dark horse Ray, I thought you'd been a bit quiet Glad you've got some new land and making use of that ppc. A cracking bit of shooting by the look of things. Martin that sounds a lucky escape that bit of road up from Looe is awfully windy. We've got a couple of days fishing booked from there in 2 weeks Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
