Saw a programme on Sky last night about dropping the A Bomb on Japan. Neither Hiroshima or Ngasaki had that much damage. Unreal.

I don't really understand where you are coming from , but here's some info for ya
By the end of 1945, the bombing had killed an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima, and a further 74,000 in Nagasaki. In the years that followed, many of the survivors would face leukemia, cancer, or other terrible side effects from the radiation.

Called a metaphor. Comprende.

I’m with you HILLBILLYHUNTER. I’ll go with initial reaction. Stupid fucking comment. My father was over there shortly after the bombs dropped. His photos showed total devestation and what he saw shuck with Him the rest of his life. Rarely did he talk of it though.

He means that Gimp's rifle shot was even more deadly than an atomic bomb. A cumbersome metaphor, but plainly he wasn't expecting two Japanese veterans of the actual bombings to be on this hunting forum. Konichiwa. Banzai.

(My father was at Pearl Harbour (on the day) went through Guadalcanal and the Phillipines, and his thoughts were that they should have dropped more atom bombs. So, you know, everyone's got an opinion.)

Great photos @gimp.

Looks stable and a bit steadier than sitting on your arse and resting on your knees!

Was that also a heart shot? It looks like it would have been

Yes. As you have observed, they are runners.

Yes and I grew up around chap who spent a few years in a camp called Changi....had grandfather on Crete etc. But making comment like that was bad form,bad taste. War makes monsters of us all. We are now generations past that horror.we don't ever need to forget it but no need to pick scab of festering wound either. Struck like lightening would be much more appropriate,don't you think??

I got struck by lightening a few weeks back, it was an experience thats for sure!

I think lightning should consider itself fortunate to be compared to the effects of a .224" 80g ELDM, personally

Those 80ELDM have a very high opinion of themselves already without them hearing stuff about being compared to lightening.

Ill stress, this is observation, and not intended in a negative manor. I use a similar shot choice, and have done for 20+ years. I just dont get the running. Except for the last shot I fired which was an approx 300gr projectile at low velocity.

The wound channel looked remarkably similar however.

Nice try. But you are not part of the gang unless you use “lightning” and “.223” in the same sentence.
