What little pesties did you bowl over today?
Loaded up some 62gr Scirocco's for the .223 for a play.
3250fps and a quick 200 yard zero. 307 BC Pretty impressed so far.
Had a look up the back of the farm for some hares which are usually plentiful but due to the weather may have looked for drier ground as I never picked any up in the bino's.
My young fella spotted a big black back gull sitting in front of a stump out in the riverbed.
He asked if he could have a go at it so I got him to laser it as I new it was around 300. He reckoned he got 360 and I confirmed it.
He was still keen to have a go.
No wind to speak of but I was pretty sure he would miss as he has never shot further than 200yrds and 360 yards would be a mental deterrent but I dialed in the 3.8 MOA shooter app told me to.
He lined the gull up and I told him when he was ready to push the cocking piece to fire and squeeze a shot off.
I made sure he looked comfortable and left it to him, when to fire. I just got the binos on to the gull when it disappeared in a cloud of feathers.
The smart ass cycled the bolt looked back through the scope and asked if I could see the wing sticking up from the rocks in its last throws of life.
I was to busy picking my jaw up off the ground to answer him.
Goes without saying he was pretty chuffed and I was still scratching my thick skull in disbelief.
