and hot on their tail's.:) I promised Mike aka "SPLASH" that I would take his FANTASTIC CUSTOM B3! out for one more hunt before I sent her home. She had already taken a Rabbit on a earlier hunt this year so I knew she could hunt so let's go hunting. I was out the door at sunrise, SPLASH B in hand with a Predator chambered and headed for the timber. What a inspiring morning with the sun finding it's way through the tree's and that brand new day smell in the air but time to focus as I entered the stillness of the tree's. I wanted to find a hide since this baby throw's off some " bling bling" and did so as I hunkered into an old brush pile with just my camocap,eye's and the end of the barrel sticking out. The bird's started to wake up and sing their morning song's and I knew that the squirrel's would be moving around soon so I Zenned up and eyeballed every nook and cranny of the tree's for movement. My intense search was rewarded by the first nutter of the morning who had popped out of nowhere and began cleaning himself on a limb fifteen yard's out and about ten foot up. I raised myself up on my knee's and slide the "B" out very slowly and let the crosshair's drop to find a great profile on dat spot and sent him a morning cup of lead which sent him to the dirt where he danced for a moment but gave into the power of lead and poly. Letting him rest I slid back down into the brushpile to reload and give any other's moving around a moment to collect themselves which I gess didn't take long as another began to make his way from tree to tree forty yard's out, come to me nut buddy.:) He weaved his way back and forth with no interest in his fallen partner but in my brush pile. He froze about twenty yard's out and was looking right at my hide dead on so what the heck , back onto my knee's and repeat. His tail was shaking like crazy as he was trying to figure out what I was , a stare down between him and the scope. He lost , the Predator was sent and hit him directly in the front of his skull and he shut down so fast that there wasn't even a twitch fro him as he lay in the dirt. Both nutter;s bled hard but expired quickly which is what I look for as always. "SPLASH'S B3 has performed flawlessly and is a pleasure to shoot and just to jar everyone's memory, it was a PASS AROUND shooter that he wanted other GTA member's to check out and injoy and if you care to spend some time with her drop Mike a PM, he's a great guy and good friend. For you B3 owner's and tuner's, you might want to check into this ton's of mod's and customizing on her. Thank's Mike for letting Shadow take her hunting. Ed
-
Thanks Ed. Yeah she can be a real challenge to hunt with, being as bright as she is,hehe. She's quite enough though, that it dosn't take long for them to come back out and show themselves. I had allot of fun tinkering with that one. Like Ed said, just let me know if you wanna play with her.
-
Thank's Airbud, the pleasure was mine but I did notice some Nutter's were sporting sunglasses when I headed out of the stick's hehehe. A very impressive shooter and Mike did some superb work on her. Ed
-
I thought my computer screen was playing tricks on me. I`m thinking that barrel can`t be that shiny. Guess it is....and those nutters wanted to check themselves out in the "mirror". Instead they got "checked out" by it. heh heh
-
Mike did some polishing up on her, she's one of a kind and a sweet shooter.:) Ed
-
Great shooting Ed!! Nice shot placement :) I really enjoyed the detailed description of the hunt and Mike really worked his magic on that B!!
-

It's not a good time to be a squirrel in Flint Michigan.
-
Thank you huntin partners and it's squirrel crazy around me right now, think they might be setting up for a attack against the fort so I better load all my babies up. Keep loading dear, their coming in waves lol. Ed
-
What's the plan for rust prevention? Wax? Oil? Nyalic?
-
Boe-Shield T-9 works wonders.
-
Yeah Mike, I used to use T-9 at the boat yard. We sparayed it on the outboard motors and the cables and controls to keep the salt buildup down and help fight corosion. great stuff.
-
Coming in waves huh? I think U need one of these; www.fullyautomaticairgun.com (http://www.fullyautomaticairgun.com/) , they'll do the job!!! I think they need a longer barrel though.....I believe the fps is only 630.
-
LOL COOL but I'm old school shooter......love the rush of a quick reload, load faster honey they have breached the birdfood storage.:) Ed
-
I need to take trip out East to help with those wild beast's before we see Shadow on Animal's Gone Wild..............HEHEHE
-

-

-
Nice shooting Ed! That B3 is deadly in your hands! Love the pics.
BTW, what's that a little squirrel chair? Do you sit them up afterwards and have conversations with them? hehe Just kidding! :)
-
Thank's Harry, that's my squirrel interrogation chair LOL. I break em down to find out were the rest hide out hehehehe. Ed
-
That's too funny :) You interrogate your victims hey? What do you do? tie their hands and then put a peanut in front of them as a torture techinque? heheh
-
I use the nut water torture lol. Ed
-
Nut water ....That just aint right Ed....
Mike !! The wife loves the gun...I think she wantin one..
-
I guess nut water is better than teasing them with roasted acorns
-
Personally I like to use the wet nutters with the battery terminal torture trick.....that didn't sound right....but I think U guys know what I mean. hee hee
-
Scared me for a moment Stanley lol. Ed
