Title: My first Jack with an air rifle
Post by: MoonrakerXT on November 07, 2015, 12:05:51 PM
A few weeks ago I was out on a ride with my youngest son (not so young anymore Lol). We had stopped to talk and glass our surroundings. After a while, my son said to me "Dad there is a rabbit". He directed me in on the rabbits location, we ranged the rabbit at 104 yards. I loaded my RWS 48 and made adjustments for the shot. I took aim and touched the shot off and my son said "just between his ears Dad" I reloaded and shot again and again my son said " just by his head". The next shot I adjusted a half mil lower and hit the Jack. My son Laughed and told me, Dad that was one patient rabbit. We both had a good laugh and he retrieved the rabbit. We had a great afternoon :)
