FWB on the farm

[Hsing-ee]

I borrowed a .22 Feinwerkbau Sport of that era for an FT competition (sounds funny now, but the first FT comp ever was won with a .22 Sport.), gave it the moly treatment and zeroed it for 25 yards.

Well I had to borrow another rifle because it was doing 16 fpe when the marshals checked it over the chrono.

Why did the farmer choose one of his herd to practice on? Not only was it cruel and unusual.. also could have damaged its eye .. and pointless but it’s hardly testing the rifle or his marksmanship. A barn door would have been more appropriate. What a numpty.

The farmer would have been the first to admit it was stupid but I don't think a pellet at that range was a serious threat to the cow. It was probably more shocked that anything and the pellet went nowhere near its eye.

Not excusing his lack of judgement but he probably wrongly assumed it was as low powered as whatever he had when he was young.

Exactly. He was probably surprised it even reached that far, although not as surprised as the poor cow.

Must have thought it was the horsefly from Hell got her number.
