Here's the way you compete. First, you go outside and shovel ~2 ton of snow. Then, run up to the second floor and take a shot at a flock of starlings. If you hit one and you don't hit your neighbor's house, multiply one by the number of minutes less than 30 it took. If you get a double then you can double that score.
Whatcha think?
I have been doing this yesterday and today. I got 6 confirmed kills yesterday, and two fly-aways on attempted doubles. I did have an interesting one, however.
I was all hopped up about my accuracy so I tried for a double head shot. I really felt good about the shot, too. It felt good. It looked good. It was at 17 yards. Both birds go down. Then one pops up immediately and flies off. Nuts! The other lays there still.
I grab my glass and as I do, he shakes his head and HE flies off!
Man, TWO grazed heads. I'll bet I'll never do that again.
Today, we got another 6 kills, one was a perfect rear to crown. Another was a head-on flip over backward clean kill. The rest were classic high breast bone or longitudinal eviscerations with one low shot that fell out of the air in the neighbors' yard.
That's 12 in two days. Cost me some suet and a crust of bread.

Sounds like fun! ;-) Keep hitting them!

I could pass on the 2 ton of snow part.

No snow shoveling for me! :)
BTW, no pics no score, hehe :p :D
Nice shooting!

Wife works from home on days like today.
BTW, got two more at pre dusk. That's 8 on the day.
I'm going to be SO depressed when the weather gets better.

Don`t kill them all....safe some for the rest of us. Excellent sniper skills.
