Here comes Mr. Cottontail,



Hopping down the Benji Trail



Hippity Hoppity I sent the FTT on it's way...

Probably my longest kill with an air rifle since I was a kid. I was adjusting my hold to give it one mil-dot high and the rabbit started getting edgy and was preparing to bolt. I put the first mil-dot right behind his eye and stroked the GRTIII trigger. It flew true and just drilled a hole right through the head. He crumpled the instant that FTT reported a loud "smack!" back to me. I paced it off at 45 yards which was right at my estimate. Complete pass-thru penetration...had another hole in the same spot on the other of his head. It hit right behind and below his eye. Lots of fleas and ticks on it.

Nice shot placement.  Congrats.  

PS.
What is FTT?  Do you mean FTS (Beeman) pellet? - "Field Target Special"?

FTT = H&N Field Target Trophy here (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/H_N_Field_Target_Trophy_22_Cal_14_66_Grains_Round_Nose_500ct/31). I am not sure which of the Beeman ones it is the same as. It is the only thing that shoots straight in my Benji Trail XL.

The FTT is the same as the FTS. My Trail NP loves them as well. I buy the FTT's in 5.55 mm heads. They fit nice and snug and have good velocity and shoot straight.
