Well, I didn’t let the Ranger being down it didn’t take me out.
I packed up and the Uragan (aka Shadow) & I drove out in Ghost to my permission.
The new backpack is from Mystery Ranch, pricey at $200 plus, but it is built like shisssy brick house! I was able to put in the 1.1 L tank I have, everything I need for a day in the field. The Ranger was supposed to be in it today, well, maybe once AOA fixes the Ranger, then it can join the field.
The wind was terrible so I thought to try some slugs, rumors are wrong, the 177 Uragan Compact (gen 1) can shoot slugs if it is the right slug, Precision Ballistic’s Mako’s are a meal Shadow likes.
When I arrived I let the landowner know and I met his two brothers, again very nice people. I showed them Shadow and the slugs, they as most are were impressed.
The Makos are from the UK, a slug designed for sub-12 FPE guns. I have to used them in Glimmer my (sadly former Prophet Compact in 177, which was a laser with them out to 80 m). The Uragan is shooting them at 785 fps, which equals around 16 FPE. The gun is beyond quiet with the Tatsu.
After I setup I did a sight in with the Makos at 30 yards. The heavy winds made it a bit of a pain, but I dealt with it. I had approximately 50 Makos left, expect for a prototype made for me for the Prophet, which is mute point right now.
.
The first couple of shots were off, and the wind didn’t helps. However, when you show up in an Outback Wilderness with the name Ghost, the birds know you mean business.
Today was a trifecta. I walked around the property as usual, finding birds as I could. For the couple of hours, I won’t complain. The Makos were devastating!
The head shot was a follow up, I tried at 50 yards and I hit low, wind again was tricky. The pigeon flew to a tree, and then at about 25 yards I did the head shot, aka ICKY!!!!
So at the end of the day I have no complaints. On the way back home I stopped by Out Haus Ales, a small Vet owned brewery in Northwood. Wonderful people and great beer, plus cute little 8 oz crowlers to take home of whatever they have, for the cheap price of $2.50 per can, for craft beer that is a bargain.
