This is like watching a surgeon work. So many details. The app for calculating the shot data looks amazing, even though I can't make most of the things in there. But I'm not a shooter. However, I can appreciate the landscape. It looks like the sun could cook you, but it's beautiful nonetheless. What was the final count of shots fired?
There's a bit involved at making longer shots although that night I could have simply guesstimated it and still made head shots considering the range I was shooting at.
It was a fairly hot day, not as hot as today (39C) but that's South Australia at this time of year, hot and dry. There's an appeal to it though I think, and there's a lot to be said for the peace and quiet.
So, 13 shots on the night, that's a lot for one night when usually I might only get 2-4 kangaroos. I haven't been out there a lot lately though as it's been too hot (don't want to start bush fires with the muzzle blast). They tend to stay away when shot at a lot but after three weeks of no one shooting at them they hope the fence for a kangaroo party. Lol.
I see. I thought about the shots starting a fire is the grass is too dry and the weather so hot. That's another thing to consider for sure.
Kangaroos having their little havoc party near the far is a no-no.
That rifle shoots flame with every shot,to the front and sides as it has a muzzle brake. I'm careful though, and it's one of the many considerations I make prior to any shot I make when conditions are so dry. It's not just, see target pull trigger.
Kangaroo single and ready to mingle gatherings are not permitted on this property, not when I'm there anyway.
Yeah, it's a safety hazard to consider before pulling the trigger.
Hang a sign saying "'Roos not allowed. Shot on sight!'"
Lol, that could work but I think these kangaroos are not very smart and whilst I'm sure they can all read I think they prefer to live life on the edge.
"'Dis fancy cardboard can't stop us, mate. We don't read!"
Bullets stop them, some of them anyway.
