The Importance of a good back stop demonstrated...

Out tonight, spotted a couple of bunnies about 120-130m away...
Click, CLICK, thudd, wheeezzzzzuummmm, thumpth..........
That's the sound my .22LR made as I turned on the lamp (click),
squeezed off a round (CLICK), thudd (deliberately spelt with a
double d as it went through the heads of both bunnies), the
bullet leaving the head of the second rabbit (wheezumm) and the
thumpth as it hit the bank about 20m further on...
Photo is how I found the two rabbits lying when I went for
them...
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A .22LR

22lr bullets might as well be made of ruber they bounce around
so much, one of the reasons I traded mine in
Ps good shot :)

Head shots at 130m at night with a .22lr is quite a feat - that
equates to over 140 yards.

These 2 for 1 deals are getting out of hand...
Class shooting by the way, 120-130m what sort of hold over for
that?

How much hold over, erm... about that much...
I shoot with Nikon EFR which has a Nikon precision reticle (a
bit like a duplex)
A lot is instinct, not measuring and calculating, what looks
right usually is...
To put a measurement on it, I suppose probably about 1/2 inch
above ears on first one which put the round in it's cheek and
then scalped the one behind it.
Scope is zero'd about 75metres

That's incredible shooting with an LR. What was your ammo?
Al.
