Halloween Boinger Bash, 28th/29th October --- Event and Payment Details

[TonyL]

Desperate to get out to my permission tomorrow to at least get the 80 zeroed up if I can.

I've been lucky mate, it's beautiful. Been shooting there, must be nigh on 25 years now I think. The river Swale flows through 400 acres, very, very nice indeed Left to do my own thing, that includes falling asleep by the river when the sun shines

How did it go today, Pauly? Itching to know.


Dave, that sounds absolutely idyllic. Hope your day went well with the new toy. I bet you didn't get a kip by the river today, though.

LOL no sleep today mate, but got out the wind on the river bank and had a lovely half hour in the sun, the sound of the river was very relaxing. The FX impressed for sure, it was a bit windy, but once roughly zero, d, I was hitting spinners out to 45 yards nearly every time, very impressed.

Shot a few rabbits with the shottie and one Mole. Two moles fell to the traps. Bugger all shot with the air rifles this time

Sounds like a lovely, relaxing and successful day in beautiful surroundings, Dave. Nice one.

Bad student, sorry master one was a whopper

[TonyL]

In true Jasper Carrott, farmer stylee......"Only one way to kill a mole.....blow his bloody head off!"

[MikeHW45]

Excuse my ignorance but what size would the barrel be on a new hw80?

[Mole trapper]

So I'm now thinking how much extra elevation will I need to drop a 25 on to the bucket? 70+ yds, it's going to be some loopy trajectory.

I was a witness to Ray (the cult) hitting the bucket with his .25 scorpion. 4 mildots at x4 mag apparently. Shooting like that got him the cult status

[NewPaul]

Well, mines not a .243 anyway, as I mentioned earlier I shot Baldinios BSA and that was a complete bugger being a .243. My HW80 is tight but no big issue.

[tinbum]

Excuse my ignorance but what size would the barrel be on a new hw80?

6.35mm

[NewPaul]

6.35mm

Do they do a 9.5 by any chance as I have a bag of shiny balls just sitting there

[NewPaul]

Please forgive me Master but... how often/what % of time would a mole spend above ground ? I'd hazard a guess at less than 10% ? If this is correct and, I beg your forgiveness for being so deviant but... shit man ! If Dave shot a mole, that's well cool innit ???? I've been on this planet 57 years and NEVER seen a mole above ground. Mind you, you don't often see a mole poke its head up in the middle of Baker Street. I still think Daves a Star though *heart emoji*
