But the bloody wind was coming out of the South East at 25-30km.Not conducive to great accuracy with a pffft gun and a learner
That plan was dropped and a cunning plan was suggested by Baldrick and immediately instigated.The idea was to set up in a North South running gully just of a couple of warrens. The first rabbit sighted and shot at was duly missed high but with the next pellet finding the mark
another was dispatched minutes late with a PB of 31m I was on a roll here with 2 from 3 when the next shot presented at 45 m the confidence was sky high with a very nice head shot I did allow 2” for drift and drop .Then the camera rang and I had to walk back out of the gully to the ute so the caller and I could have a conversation out of the wind.Turns out it was the Master of things pffftt with some sage words of wisdom anyway we dribled a bit of shit for 5 mins or so before I returned to my previous position.Dispatched a few more cute and cuddlies some but not all with headshots a few drifted into the sump on a couple but thankfully they were culled with a wuick follow upOn my way out Of the property a young buck rabbit was seen with a couple of pretty ladies and I thought here was my opportunity to see how the H+N Barracuda Hunter 22.1 grn pellet would go at that distance
The first shot went low so I held over another hash that one went lower so I held over a little more with that shot dropping even more.This had me stuffed until I looked at the pressure gauge
back to the ute for a top up and to fill the mag.That done I again resumed my position on the grassy hillIt took me a further four shots to work out windage and holdover but I eventually scored a killing hit with a high shoulder shot new PB of 71m
