As is someone ( 3 of them ) just pranced past the shot shed at 75 M
And as i was dialed in for 55 M with the 10 grain KO MK3 slugs, well i very well know my holdovers, and so getting permission from my friend to take the shot ( these birds throw his 2 dogs into tantrums when they prance around outside his bedroom window )
So PEW, and it dropped like a stone, not even a feather twitching.
That shut up my M8 which before that had been pretty full of himself as last night with my NV500 scope on his snowpeak he dropped a mouse and a little later a rat.
But pound 4 pound i beat him good.
Also my M8 having enjoyed my NV scope for a few hours, he went and ordered a clip on as lets face it his 15 year old NV scope are only useful for 10 - 15 M ANd we bait for the mice and rats at 30 M.
And since he was tearing into his savings account he went and got a Snowpeak M30 today, which so far seem A LOT better than the cheapo 2 grade one he have that will not do 55 M shooting well.
I really enjoy shooting those small 10 gr JSB slugs, at 55 M they group real fine.
Also put 10 holes in a duct tape roll inned cardboard ring, placed on a fence post 120 M away, having 4-5 in holdover and holding 4 - 6 inches to the left due to wind.
And at least half of my shots was on the after all not that big cardboard cylinder on the post.
BTW the pheasant, is sacrificed to the huge eagle nesting close by, when it spot it tomorrow on top of the 20 foot container where it like to sit on the railing, well Dinner time.
