Detlef Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 so I unpack my new Para LDA 18-9 (backup for the competiton gun). Load it up. This Dragonfly bugs me, finally sits down on a target stand at 35 y (somewhere between the 25 and 50 y lines at least). I aim....BANG....cut it in 2 pieces. This must be my lucky shot of the year. And no, the gun's zero was off 3 in low and 2 in right.... --Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Man, Dragonfly's are good luck!!! Well, if you think of it, perhaps it was virtuitous (sp?) that you hit the thing. Although, its not all that bad. If I remember my entomology, they dragonfily's lifespan is a whole 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 When I can make a shot like that (pure luck for me) in front of enough witnesses, I will shoot no more in public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 More you ever wanted to know about Dragonflies (note that you probably don't want to be entering "Dragonfly Sex Habits" into Google, especially not at work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I'd say that load is accurate enough in that gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
