😂
When I’m out walking/working I carry one set of shooting sticks.
They are called Primos Trigger sticks. It’s a tripod with quick release legs.
Nothing better when it comes to quickly and quietly setting up for a shot somewhere out in the field.
If I’m testing pellets or slugs on rabbits (for terminal ballistics), out in the field, I’m standing and shooting over the trigger sticks.

If I’m testing pellets or slugs for groupings on paper targets, I shoot from a bench rest.
I dare say it would be near impossible to shoot a one hole group at 40, standing over shooting sticks 😳
That would be an impressive achievement.
Maybe our next challenge??? 🤔😉]]> Sun, 10 Nov 2024 06:19:50 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11438#11438 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11437#11437 Author: JasonEdward

TWO shooting sticks - good on ya that's almost bench rest shooting and sounds like a good idea.

But maybe I need to go to the gym and you need to go to stretch classes young man. 

But seriously, how do you shoot when testing pellets/slugs? Always with the shooting sticks?

You sure have no trouble getting decent groups...]]> Sun, 10 Nov 2024 04:07:10 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11437#11437 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11435#11435 Author: RangerPete

Hi Mark,
The 10grainers are JSB Knockouts.
The smallest .177 slug Spyda can do is a 13.4gr. Would be good for benches and hunting where over penetration is not an issue.
Ja, I walk the paddocks carrying my rifle in one hand and my shooting sticks in the other, and when I find a bunnie I quietly set up the sticks and take the shot while standing.
Sitting, or heaven forbid, lying down to shoot rabbits is only good for youngsters and yoga participants, and in paddocks with short grass.
I stand and shoot 😂]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2024 15:11:23 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11435#11435 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11432#11432 Author: JasonEdward

Which are the 10 grainers in your later posts Pete? JSB or Spyda slugs? Or something else?

Your field testing ballistics is really interesting. And your standard shooting is upright with a shooting stick? I'm trying to figure out how to get accurate on my feet without doing some weight training but I have an allergy to gymnasiums  

And I'm going to do some shooting sitting and also standing with my camera mono and tripods. ]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2024 03:33:44 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11432#11432 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11383#11383 Author: RangerPete

Something else interesting to note...
I've shot, skinned and dissected a lot of rabbits.
I've never seen a flea (or a tick) on a rabbit.
First rat Ive dissected and it had a flea... ]]> Fri, 01 Nov 2024 10:11:50 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11383#11383 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1077&PID=11382#11382 Author: RangerPete

Last night I shot a rat at 32yards. Was a neck shot angled into the body.
Necropsyed it this morning
Slug entered left side of the neck, just behind the head, smashed through the spine completely severing it into two (a rats spine is about the diameter of a pen), top of the lungs and into the abdominal cavity.
Recovered perfectly mushroomed.
I’d love to know if it expanded before or after it went through the vertebrae, but I guess I’ll never know.
It performed perfectly, dumped all of its 22FP of energy into the rat (pole axed it on the spot) and came to a stop in 7 or 8cm.
You can’t ask for better performance!

The hare head shot was top row on right.
Bottom left was the head shot on the rabbit.

So after re-tuning little Emma for the 10grainers on monday, I took her out to work on monnday night.
12 rabbits and a hare. Collected 5 rabbits and the hare for further investigations.
Shots were mostly just over 40yards, with one at 76yards.

From the 6 carcasses I retrieved 5 slugs. All of them had deformed to some extent, 3 of them beautifully.
The pass through was a side on head shot at 43yards.
The hare was a diagonal head shot, through the eye, the brain and slug was recovered under the skin on the back of the head! Thats all of... 7 ? cm?
The 76yard shot was base of the back of head of a rabbit, slug recovered in the mouth/cheek just under the skin. That might be even less than 7cm! Amazing.

I am blown away by these little slugs, (and they really are little! Flippen tiny when you are trying to load them into a magazine with big sausage fingers!)
Their ability to mushroom, dump all of their energy into the target and come to a complete stop with in 10, 8, 5cm... is truly amazing.

From a pest control perspective, where I'm shooting on other peoples property it really gives you a little piece of mind knowing your projectile has a 95% chance of not exiting your target, and its going to give it a serious smack too!

But at 22FPE, I'll still reserve them for big properties
Little Elly with her 12.4FPE 8.44grain Exacts is still my first choice for small properties.
