the pinnacle of 2017 for shooting wise was shooting a 10 point red stag :D
I've seen bigger and always let them go but I wanted this one, shot at 300 with my trusty 30-06

don't know how many shots were fired last year 2017 but it is never enough :drinks:

Hey marksman, did your lad's first bunny kick its way down the warren after he shot it...?
Or do you use him as a ferret to chase the bunnies out...?
Cos by the looks of his legs he went down warren to get it... :lol:...

Seriously though, 110yd head shot is a fine effort for a first bunny...! Good on him (& proud dad)...!!

I got flagged by Homeland Security when I tried getting an export permit for 20mm Vulcan Cannon brass cases. It's no secret I'm working on getting an Anzio 20/50 and this was part of that project. Since the permit was denied and Border Force want a B710 which will probably get refused I've put the 20/50 on the backburner....for now :)

The 204 Ruger case in the demister occurred after popping a giant bunny in the back of the skull and 3 of his mates sticking their heads up for a look see. A rapid cycling of the bolt saw the offending case ejected towards the windscreen and straight into the vent, a word of advice is in order. Never shoot a .204 from inside a vehicle through the passenger window without hearing protection....trust me on this one.
As for efforts to retrieve the offending piece of brass...I have tried, vacuum, compressed air, tubes with sticky stuff on the ends, endoscopic cameras, driving real fast and jumping on the brakes (both forwards and backwards) with the vent selector in every position. So far nothing has worked, the friggen thing continues to rattle and make noise every time I brake, accelerate or drive on bumpy roads. One way or another I will fix it :)
How's my posting?
