7 wallabies Saturday night spotlighting. Would have been more if I wasn't shooting so badly; a below average performance, seemed to move occasionally right when I took he shot. Never mind, have some more meat in the freezer.

Smidy, I hear you have the Aussie kookaburra up there & are you allowed to bowl them? We have the sulphur crested cockatoo down here & manage to get the odd one with the 223 but because they're exceptionally wary it's difficult to get them with the 22. so was just wondering if more Aussies in NZ will be added to the target list for the 22 or 17. What range was the spurwing shot at?
really? the only kookaburra i've seen was my ridgeback cricket bat. never seen nor heard one but i'll keep my eyes and ears peeled. Sulphur cockatoos would be escaped pets wouldn't they?Quote:

Had Kookaburras at the farm quite a lot, unmistakable laughing cackle they make. Not sure if you're allowed to bowl them, never thought of it.
Knocked over plenty of plovers though, from much closer than 250m.
well i hope to see one some day, through the scope of course hahaQuote:

Dropped 6 magpies this afternoon , after sighting in the hornet with the Bushy 3-12x44mm , on her , compared to by kills with the 22lr at 110-198yds thats subsonic to start with , the Hornet shoots like a bloody Laser , at 130yds its only 1 click , 0.1mils , and 200yds its 0.55mils .
And it hits them hard , 40gr vmax at 3000fps , with the can you can hear the thump of the bullet hitting them ,
Now just have to drop some bunnies & hares for the pot .
Good work
went out to the girlfriends olds place droped 5 possums In a bout an hour :thumbsup:
There is something wrong with that statement young fellah, you missed the bit that happened in the middle. Also why were you playing possum catch?Quote:

I lined up the .22 on the one on the right and dropped him on the spot.His mate scarpered over the skyline and disappeared.
