Good work Toby. Shooting sparrows will definitely tighten up your groupings.

Good work Toby. Shooting sparrows will definitely tighten up your groupings.
Rabbit time :thumbsup:
Range : 110m, shooting from the ridgeline at the top of frame.
4 frames from a video I recorded, put the camera on the ground next to the previously shot rabbit, just wanted to test the effectiveness of the suppressor and see & hear what the target does.

Frame 1. Just 1 frame after shooting, it's the shockwave from the bullet hitting the ground having already passed through the head.

Frame 2. Hornady 55gr soft point starts to open up the head. Shockwave starts to dissipate.

Frame 3. All energy transferred, bits of fur and mud starting to fly around.

Frame 4. It's all over. Total time taken is 4 frames, camera records at 50 frames per second, so it's quick !

Hitting with a VMax round, after this there was just a puddle of fur and mush.
I have never seen photographic evidence of a shock wave like that before. Amazing really.
Good stuff Kyle. Are you sure it's dead now?
It's not dead, it's just resting
Must admit, I was surprised to see the shockwave when going through frame by frame last night.

It's cousin/sister/mother/auntie. Exit wound side after being hit by the same ammo, distance @150m. Bang ! Thwock ! Ouch.
Nice job
Thats impressive are you gona whack the vid up?
Maybe, but it's a bit gruesome for YouTube, after the hassles I've had with my other shooting videos I'm not sure if it's worth the time. Seems there's loads of people in the world who do nothing but seek out things that offend them, then spend all night complaining - what a sad life to lead.
what cal and weight vmax are you using?
.223 55gr SP trainers. Not V-max.
Does this count as 4?

Four independently verified Snala. You can count them all.
You look like you have exactly same Howa 223 as mine Best so far for me 313 mtr Pukeko Wicked gun eh?
Actually have found dead young duck frames at my pond. Set my cat/ possum trap after finding the last one Success caught my little fat Jack Russel in it Frankie the wankee Mind you she was pretty embarrassed / happy to see me and had not touched the cat food LITTLE BITCH ha ha
thats funny Happy:D
Yep was gonna take a photo of little fat bitch but she was laying down with legs crossed and had been there a while so I didn't have the heart to embarrass her But that's it next time open season
Rolled a big zero chassin posums 2night on a new farm to try,he had plenty of rabbits but i wasnt after them so i smaked to on the way out the gate in anger.sums up my day really,missus just gave me a wink;)time to go.......after i post a pic.Attachment 3972
have a good night.
Yup the Howa is pretty mighty.
My best rabbit hit was 296m, let out a howl and a small dance when that happened :thumbsup: We also spent some time dialing in 460m shots onto a tree stump for shits n giggles, with a howling cross wind. Howa vs Savage, both rifles hitting the target quite quickly.
I wink from my wife has a life of 1hr which is good value,what do you think Rushy??
I think you are a lucky bugger Neckshot. Mark my words mate, there will come a time when a wink will mean she has something in her eye.
:Domg your a funny bugger rushy.I beleive you though:(

Today I checked my rat trap and it was set off with a pile off sparrow feathers around it.Seems to me I caught a sparrow then a monster fricken rat or something plucked it from the cage:roll::mouse:

I would redo the stock on your gun if it was mine just for fun. I was going to do mine but its not buggered enough yet. Do you head shot your rabbits?
good to see a part boot in the pic keep it up.
Damn it is too, I didnt even think about it until you said so I went back to look haha. Anyway did you head shoot it?
Why dont you buy some paint stripper and linseed oil. All you need to know is on the forums.
Don't worry Toby, I once saw a man with rabbits tattooed all over his head. From a distance they looked like hares. get it?
Was spraying a fence line today and managed to quickly run over a Plover chick with the quad. Two others huddled down in hoof holes and I lost sight of them. They'll keep untill the .22 operator gets his shit together.
Ray.
Saw a little bunny this morning not big enough too feed the family or dogs so I left it:D

But Possom trapper will bag it if he sees it:ORLY:
No chance tonight as he and some mates are sleeping under the stars in this wild weather:o
Sneak down in the dark and give them a fright Dundee.
I got a female possum in a Timms trap last night. That makes it about two dozen of the little buggers right next to the house in the last couple of months. Aerial burial into the swamp like the rest of them.
Feeding the eels aye Rushy hope ya getting the skins or fur off the coons thers some serious pocket money right there.
Didn't give em a fright as they weren't tenting so the stalk might have seen the barrels of the slug heading my way:ORLY:
First time back at the main rabbit shooting property since autumn. Managed to walk 15km (a bit of one corner) of the farm and account for 12 rabbits, 1 possum, 1 hedgehog and 2 plovers. The numbers are well down on previous years and didn't shoot at half the rabbits I saw as they were in amongst the stock and the wind was howling way too much to get a steady shot.
Would I bother again soon? Ready for a rematch in two weeks.:cool:
