    Thinking about building a 17 Hornet, just brought a donor, might be too good to alter though

    Nice. It's not easy to film and shoot. Orchards can be tricky being so flat.
    17 hornet piercing ears since ages ago.

    Awesome shooting and what a great spot to have access to, I bet the orchard owners are very pleased with your results.

    On my laptop the header above where I'm typing this has a line of options, the video one is second from the far right.

    Its an Anschutz 1432 - 22 Hornet.

    Will have to see what its like when I receive it & how it shoots

    Nice shooting.

    Why do you go for the head shots?

    Due to the lay of the land and grass etc that's often all I can see via scope. Camera is sitting up higher than my scope.
