Thought I better do the picture or it did not happen thing.
3 shot group @ 150yrds226992

I purchased a new Sako S20 recently and it is shooting the factory load Sako Blade 120gn @ sub 1/4 MOA.
Mainly controlling some pigs at the moment so no deer results yet but 8 shoulder shot boars...

Finally a conclusion to this event.
Discussion this week with senior officer present.
No warning letter to be issued.
Acknowledged no offence committed.
Acknowledged all actions were legal...

So far no letter has arrived, we feel we have our ducks in a row ready for if/when it does.

I thought you were supposed to split hares/hairs not rabbits not splitting hairs by that statement am I or I am?

Yes, noted. Thanks.

Really hoping this does not turn into a legal battle but up for it if required and while I am not aware of what services you may be able to help with I really appreciate your offer as I imply from...

During the process of writing down notes while memory was fresh something else has jumped out, one officer questioned about the "volume" of shooting.
They appear to have been concerned by either (1)...

Multiple farm ponds and a great duck creek through private property are far closer to the house than where we shoot, lots of shooting done in area.

Agreed, reluctant to be bullied out of such a productive spot.

Thanks for that info and link.

The 736mts comes from google earth, already have multiple world wide articles on steel shot max distances....thinking about having a chat with our local officer to make sure the lead officer involved...

Another thought, what would the pattern spread be at 736mts....How many pellets would even hit the roof from a shot even if they got there. One or maybe two.

Thanks for that.

I agree, I was prepared to allow for tail wind to cover that scenario even though conditions were calm.
If 250mts is used then it is almost 3 times that to the house.

Thanks for your valued opinion, certainly where my thought process is at the moment.
