    What little pesties did you bowl over today?

    This cunning Pukeko was squawking and hiding in a ditch on the farm and only sticking his head up to check my location at about 120/130m away. I was hunting bunnies and hares, but couldn't resist the opportunity to test myself on such a small target...

    Haven't tweaked anything yet mate. She shots great (obviously) with one shot. But as barrel gets hot each shot rises about half an inch, so will need to find what's causing it.

    Well done H4L. Bloody vermin that Pukeko,s are they should have a bounty on them.
    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!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
