Hey Gube
I bought the same shooting bench from cabelas about 5 yrs ago. works real good for me and is in the back of my truck almost all the time. I do agree the top is a little on the small side and am in the process of designing and installing what i think will be "way more better" :lol: I am right handed so the new top will be just for right handed shooters.
and thanks for your story and pics.

WAY COOL!!!!!!!!

I love those photos and it is nice to have an idea of what sort of rig you are using to get such clear and precise photos.
Camera is a Nikon D-300. Lens is the Nikon AF-S (70 - 200 mm) VR Zoom-Nikkor F/2.8 IF-ED
A "doubler" was also used with it. The TC-20E11 AFS Teleconverter which allows you to effectively double the amount of your zoom lens. You sacrifice a bit of clarity with the doubler but it's not to bad when the camera is mounted on a sturdy tripod.
Someday I would like to look into renting some high end gear for a photo shoot so now I have an idea of what to ask for.


Gotta love sheep pastures, they are grazed so low that skippy cannot hide at all.

surfclod: This is why we schedule our shoots immediately after 'first cut'. It's like shooting them on a golf course. They stand out "like a turd in a punch bowl"...... ;)

All I can say is:

"Splat, pop, snap, sploosh and whap, anybody got some Saran Wrap?
All I heard was a great loud whop, now my body is a pile of slop.
I need to get to the E.R. soon, before a raven finds a spoon.
So scoop me up and wrap me tight, I really do look a dreadful sight.
I need CPR but my face is in motion, I think it landed in the Pacific Ocean."

Such dedication to sharing vivid splatercations is truly appreciated. There should be an Academy Award, an Emmy or a Golden Glob for such art. We'll call it the - (supply a suggestion here).

:D

I see that photo bucket has shut down some of my pics :mad: I will have to find another "user friendly" host and repost the pics. Anybody know of a good one that wouldn't mind some "prairie poodle art"?

I've finally found some time to re-post the action shots. There's a few here from 2008 as well.

Dang Gube I woke my wife up laughing so hard, and almost choked on my coffee :lol:

I'm gonna have to try the continuous shooting of my still shots with my JVC HD digital video camera, and try this when I get out with my .204. Great shots, loved it.... :twisted:

thanks - these are fantastic shots

I've also got a D300 and so need to get out and get some pics of some bunny busting action

I've got a Sigma 50-500 lens with a 1.4x 'doubler' that should do the job nicely
