So arbtalkers, who else shoots?

[csservices]

Ive been shooting about 12 years tried everything a time or two but now just shoot a couple of things. A few pigeons at harvest time a duck or two through the winter evenings but the mainstay of my shooting is woodcock. I dont have to travel far often just walking from the house. Numbers are not huge but the ground is fairly open which gives a good chance of a shot. Ill add a few pics from last season.

 

 

My younger brother shot his first woodcock with my baikal .410 when he first started shooting had literally explained to him what they looked like 5 mins before, had one pellet just behind its eye, that was a fluky shot

.270 is great to shoot. Flat, fast and with a good punch. Almost always use 130 grain soft point rounds. I have used 110 ballistic tips with good results. Can't fault Tikka rifles. Fantastic value with great accuracy. Same with the old Brno, almost never miss bunnies at 100m with standard remmington high velocity ammunition. Never bothered with a moderator on it, never felt the need. My record so far is 11 rabbits with 11 shots out to about 70m in a freshly baled hay field. The dog got sick of eating rabbit!

Cheers, my mate has just done his DSC with a borrowed .270 and he came back with some very positive things to say about them.
