    Gave the 20p semiauto a good go tonight, plenty of little critters around.. Was battling 40km winds so only close shots or sheltered areas

    it is indeed Flyblown, its got plenty of in close shooting to way out there . . . with the unusually large amount of rain we've had its green as & lookin its best.

    the hillside over from the one i am on is 600 yards away . . . my goal is to hit a critter on yonder hillside. The plan was to have another go this morning while the winds were low but some plonker left the suppressor for the .243 at home . . . there was some choice words bouncing around the hills . . . might go up this evening if the weather improves later, blown a bit with rain at the moment.

    Thats impressive Rossi.45 do you take a big ass spotting scope on the hill when varminting or binos to spot them?

    Bloody good shooting Dundee, I reckon if you auctioned that riffle you would make a fortune. That is some brilliant shooting

    Conversion chart for the uninformed.....
    150 Dundee yards is the same as 150 normal feet.
    Therefore it was 50 normal yds

    The exaggeration is proportional to the beer intake. Some days it could be 25 yards.

    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
