It wasn’t the case and with tentman+ and his friend Leica Geovid, giving the range in meters, never heard of such a thing, what are the yards I had to ask?
Well we ended the day with another eight and one plover, I kept one for another day;)
There will be some checking going on, the first fine day with no wind.
The shooting was not all that great with a few strays, only hope to improve on this day.
Longest shot today was just over 200 yards according to tentman+ friend Leica Geovid. Can you trust someone with a name like that?
That’s 200yrds is about 450 yards in Dundee measurement:thumbsup:
I have that from a few here on the forum not to name anyone as Gibo is a holder of the secret service:cool:
I almost forgot the magpie which lost feathers @ forgot the range and it was in meters,
I was set for 200, next time I hope to add him to the picture line up.
First picture is one of tentman+ efforts and also the last pic:(.
We both agreed that even the worst days shooting was a great way to finish the day out:thumbsup:

Hey KH - maybe you should do your testing in the wind, then on still days you could aim off like you do on windy ones now . . . .
O nice, I am putting some of this down to the spotter and his friend Leica Geovid.Quote:

bugger . . . did a little blurb with the above pic and lost it all because i was fluffing around doing the breakfast thing and the editing timed out . . . here goes again
a not so flash evening on the hill, been lookn forward to it all week, as you do . . . the wind came up as soon as i got the targets out to do my zero, and kept getting stronger untill shooting at anything past 50yds with the subs was a waste of time, longest shot 102yds in a sheltered gully
the good news is my young shooting mate from back in the Buller is taking up the LR Rabbit challenge, and so he should, it was him that raised the bar from my previous best of +200yds to 280yds recently . . he's ordered the Burris Signature rings with the inserts to put on his CZ 455 Varmint
yesterday i put another 5MOA lift into my XTR Burris rings which now gives me 365yds of elevation, in hindsight should have made it 10MOA and gone for a neat 400yrd . . . later maybe, i'll wait and see how this race progresses
my partner reckons its ego driven and i just dont like to be beaten . . . i say no, its each of us pushing the other on to do better . . . and itll be a sad day if i let a young whipper snapper set the pace

One of two today...

I got a plover last night,they were a fair distance away didn't quite have my elevation right.Fired at the bird and dropped the one below it.:)
Translation for the confused. Dundee was sitting on his deck when a plover landed four feet away so he picked up the .22, fired a shot and missed because he was pissed but another dumb plover was in the wrong place and copped it so Dundee had to make up a story about not having his elevation right. Elevation to Dundee means getting on a chair so we know it is bulls wool because like I said he was sitting on the deck.Quote:

Looked out the kitchen window a few minutes ago and saw this cat walking by. I dropped my snack in the sink and ran fanatically to retrieve the keys to the gun cabinet, grabbed the .22, fumbled with the keys to the ammo cabinet, loaded the magazine, slammed it in and headed for the door 95% certain the cat was long gone. No sign of it in the yard or down the drive where it appeared to have been headed. I went around the house and couldn't believe my luck when I saw it going through the fence into the paddock. About the same time it saw me and took off. I took several well aimed and controlled shots concentrating on proper technique and trigger control, which despite the short distance somehow missed the target. I made a mental note to check the sight adjustment at a later date. The cat went into a tree line between paddocks. I sprinted for the barb wire fence in my gumboots, which I more or less hurdled, and checked the magazine. Curiously there were only two of the ten rounds left. I stalked quietly down the back side of the tree line about 95% sure the cat was long gone. Then suddenly a little head popped up out of the long grass right in front of me looking back in the direction of the house. And that was the end of that. Livened up an otherwise dull afternoon of paperwork...
Good work.
Make sure you remove the collar and bell! Bury it separately :thumbsup:
2x magpies at 166yds & 2x goats at 288yds , 22 Hornet
Gut shot but last time it'll annoy my morning spa..http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...77879d0cc8.jpg

Adam Ant >>> what a wonderful site!!
:thumbsup:
Okay - It's been a while ... been stupidly busy with work but have managed a couple of vermin chasing trips in the last few months. Enjoy ...
You guys know I love my .22Lr sub shooting - this was a fab evening in the Waikato. Check out the head shots.
Attachment 59209
I managed to get away with the family skiing in Wanaka AND took the .204 (plus the .17HMR) but I was mainly the spotter as my son took over pest control. What a joy to see his shooting improve over the week.
Isn't it wonderful what a fabulous kiwi farmer will let you do when you show some respect, mind your manners ... & put a dozen beers in his wool shed. Champagne shooting! Best was a magpie at 265 yards.
Looks like my son took a leak on the door?!?!
Attachment 59210
Then we headed to Tekapo and as we chased better weather ... once again my 18yo son was on the trigger. Over 3 afternoons after skiing, we shot maybe 150 rabbits on this hillside just beyond the scrub heading up the slope where I was allowed 20-30? Oh to have a steady hand and keen eyes.
Most shots around 240 yards - his longest was 416 yards - I just love my Kimber Sport Varmint. The evenings were filled with my 16 year old daughter driving the Landrover as we spotlighted another 50+ with the HMR.
Heaven in Otago & the Mackenzie basin!!!

50-60 wabbits shot this evening with the semi autos - good shooting but wish the wind would drop so i could go LR
55 shot in 2 hrs casual walking, a lot of young ones about, man they are stupid at that age. Never seen the place (Cromwell ) so green, looks like the Waikato ( shudder )
Chewing through ammo, wind up to much for LR here also.
