Almost first kill
« on: February 28, 2007, 12:39:05 PM »
Wish I had something for real to show and tell, but almost got a first and second kill before I found out my spring was broken. For the first time since I started shooting in the back yard some doves landed while I was out shooting, 1 in a tree, the others on the ground. Took a crack at one on the ground;  a feather came off and it flew away. I figured a near miss at 35 yds. The other was up in a tree about 25' high and 20 yds away. Once again, a feather came off the side of it's neck, it ruffled it's wings and sat there for about 5 minutes before flying away. Funny thing, I saw the pellet bounce off! That's when I pulled the stock off and looked. Soon maybe.

Hey Ric,

I agree with Ed, once that spring is replaced you'll be knockin em dead, literally :)

Hay Ric,

It's not the kill that makes huntin so much fun, it's the stalken, and getten the shot off.

But ya can get real hungry with no supper, so fix that there spring !

Keep Shooten,

Aaaah, you wanted to give it a tune anyway, right?
Sounds like you need a B26 for a backup, HeHe.
