I've had her for just a couple day's, did some target shooting at 25yrd's and got some nice group's going. Well here I am home for lunch and sure enough as I look out my window there's this fella filling himself up on the birdfood. Good time as any, grabbed the 1377 and a tin of Predators and head out back. I load and pump as I work my way to the corner of my house and as I peek around the corner he spot's me and just chatter's. Insulted, I raise the pistola and lay the sight's on the front of his mug and send him my response. I heard the impact and watched him tumble from the feeder and do a death dance for a couple second's followed be stillness. The 1377 has taken her first kill with flying colors, the Predator hit him in the front of the skull right where I wanted it . The shot was from 15yrd's , close enough hehe. Cleaned and ready for supper. :) Ed

Welcome Ron and thank's. If you check back a few hunting post I think you will find some but I will post some tonight from my homemade varment cookbook. Ed

"Death Dance"... haa haa haa. What a great name for the flipping & flopping.
Nice shot and pic Ed.
-
Nice shootin as usual Ed. You may want to leave her with the irons instead of a red dot, to keep the weight down, cause I know you will redress her.

Nice shot ! I can't wait to get to try some predators out on the 15 th. ( can't shoot them around the house) . Looks like they are up to the task. kirby
-
Good shooting with that pistol.
-
Thank's Gentlemen and I've had nothing but success with the Predators, their designed to do one thing and they do it well hehe. Yes mike I was thinking about leaving the sight's but the front one is kinda at a funky downward angle and I was trying to peice together a set of fiber optic's for her, front and back. Any suggestion's guy's. Ed
-
Great shootin buddy, great pic also. All you need is a shoulder holster for that pistol and you can her along as a "back up" gun when you're out huntin with the rifles :)
Jeff

Thank's Jeff, a holster hmmm Dirty Shadow lol. Ed
-
Hey Ed,
You never cease to amaze me buddy, a master of many skills !
-
Thank's Bill but I just point and squeeze the trigger, she does all the rest hehe. Ed

I was at Bass Pro last weekend and I almost bought one of those. I made a promise to my daughter that I would get her a gun before I bought another one for myself. I ordered her a custom 2250 from crosman should be done in about a week. Nice shooting Ed.
Jason

Thank's Jason and those 2250's are real nice pistola's also, love my 2240 and just had to have the 1377, needed one pumper hehe. Ed
-
Shadow-Ed, Nice job,i believe you would be just as deadly with a sling shot or blow gun. :emoticon:
-
Thank's Paul, funny you mentioned blowgun, I have two of em. One is a four footer and the other is a two footer. I got a old dart board up in the GTA loft shooting range. When I'm sitting around on the couch I'll pull it out sometimes and push some dart's through it. Used to go out to my dad's barn and get mice with it , pretty deadly on them with a 4inch dart sharpened on a fine stone hehe. Ed
-
Yea man,I have a 40cal 4 ft. blow a tiny broadhead in a piece of wood ,it won,t come out easy.. The squirrel with a new 1377,you are one heck of a good shooter.
-
Dad was a great teacher and him being one of those in the service that blended with the bush's and could touch someone from many yard's hehe. Ed
-
Well,Thats it,you have sniper bloodline in you.
-
Don't aim at the target,aim at a spot on the target hehe. Aim small as Dad would say. Ed
