varminter Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Well guys i heard the forecast here in cornwall is supposed to be very wet over the weekend so i thought i would go out tonight just incase!!! Went out with another good shooting mate as he is starting to train his cocker spaniel , So we went up on this new land i have been lucky to get and shot some bunnies with the 22 anchutz and then he worked the dog afterwords to pick up the bunnies ( it was a joy to watch ;) ) . Then we went to this spot i have been eying up that enables downhill shots looking along a hedge that go out to 390yds+ , so i set up on bipod on top of my jeep bonnet , and had 4 bunnies for 5 shots ( just shot over the top ) They ranged 277 / 282 / 342 and 365yds.............. Here they are........................... So a cracking evening enjoying the countryside , watching the dog learning/working , in good company and varmint shooting!!! All the best guys.................. RAY............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Sadly I think its going to piss down, it's already blowing a gale here. Never mind a weekend reloading instead. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varminter Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well had a break in the weather this evening and it stayed dry but very windy So went for play with the 22 to thin out some more bunnies. Went to the new farm and thought i would have a look at the longer range fields which go out to 390yds plus . Wind was coming from the 1 oclock position so not too bad for windage even though the wind was strong!!! Missed the first one due to not enough windage but second bunnie ranged bang on 280yds - bang slap!! Next up was a nice 353yds bunnie - bang slap!!! So that finnished the evening nice ;) The area i was shooting into is the second field and the shots start from 220 and go out to 390yds+ and you are looking all the way along the hedgeline , plus all shots go straight into field due to the elevated shooting position ( just remember to take 2 clicks off predicted elevation adjusment ) Here it is....................... And heres the results........................... Have a good week guys............ All the best.................. RAY...........................

varminter Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Thanks bob Found that when shooting off the bonnet the BR model gives me a lower shooting platform which i prefer!! All the best............... RAY................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 308Panther Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Nice job on critter control... We had mid 90's here with 49% humidity. Too hot to fish...Too hot to shoot...
