Went rook bashing last night.
« on: February 03, 2008, 09:16:29 PM »
Took the ole FAC .22 air rifle. Fook me i forgot how much fun it is. Nailed 24 rooks and one woody for 28 shots 2 of the missis came when it was really dark so i can live with that. The woody was 70 yds hit the bugger dead center POA and it was through and through left a perfect .22 red dot on it's back. Must get out with it more.

It is a good crack if you like that sort of thing  jon :icon_thumright:  I know 70 yds aint that far but it's a tiny round launched by air and shooting into trees makes range finding a touch harder as the pellet acts a bit differantly when shot upwards. Prefer using the riffle as the the old semi auto shotgun scares every thing away after the first couple shots.

Haven't had much time on site lately but this post caught my eye. Nice shooting Gopher, useful tools them .22. Used a friends .17 rimfire the other day, tidy little beast. Done a couple of beaters days going roosting on saturday. No track days in winter have to have a zx10r clay shoot!
