    The maize paddock I shoot in has just been rolled waiting for it to be seeded then there will be alot more, 270m is the longest shot I have taken of course I miss but im getting close I see the dust cloud come up right next to this pigeon I shot at. its a 3-9X50 cheap scope of trademe but it works fine alot better then I thought it would.

    .22lr, with winchester 40gr subs, love these bullets but only have 60 left, then its back to normal power points. I do have a .22magnum I could use for the longer range stuff but it has shit scope, I was thinking of swapping scopes around but meh, fun sitting on the roof shooting over the paddocks with the .22lr.

    Good on ya Dundee. Another one bites the dust.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Thats a 2yr old racing pigeon from the Hawkes Bay Club. The benzing tag is the state of the art eguipent used for tracking speed and times of the racing pigeons. I guess you stopped the clock on that one.

    I sent the Pigeon racing club the details hopefully I can tell you more tomorrow.

    Its bloody interesting getting a tagged bird as you can track it back which is cool.

    The last pigeon I shot that was tagged was from MPC which is Manawatu pigeon club which I shot at the Vagas areodrome while doing a duck disturbance under a permit. The bugger flew in range and I tracked the tag back too a local guy that just let his bird out for a feed and fly before he was going to lock it back in the loft.
