My wife and I were visiting Graham and Chantel Connear with friends in 1993 just when the Save conservancy was in its infancy.

I had taken over a 4x32 scope and a small Lightforce hunting light for Graham and he took us out culling Impala with a .22lr. Only females and all shot from the S.IIA L/R they had at the time.

I don't know what the ammo was, but the rifle was of european origin. Anschutz or Geco ... somthing like that.

We took three large females and called it a night. All shots had to be between the ear and the eye. Two went down cleanly but the third took more than one shot. Using iron sights at night was a bit different to what I'm used to.

I came home and bought a .218Bee Ruger No.1S which I still have. The perfect rifle for that kind of work.
