    A rare daytime excursion knocking rabbits off for a neighbour.
    Got to stretch the legs on the 17 hornet, and then had a nice close range shot when coming back up my driveway.

    Testing out the ballistic calculator on the DNT Zulus v2.
    I think I need to make some corrections to the BC I entered, as the POA and POI don't match. There was some right to left wind, but the elevation definitely needs work.
    Unfortunately for the rabbit, It didn't really matter that the ballistic calculation was off. Kinda cool seeing the bullet heading off to do it's thing.

    Had a very silly possum walk up my driveway in front of me mid morning
    So back to the gun room and see what ammo is at the front of the safe
    38-40 it is then
    It wandered up a tree and thought he was safe. Not !
