First thing this morning at work , i finished painting my HPA 2250,i let it dry for 2 hours,removed masking tape from gauges and chamber. Then i walked outside and spotted a sqirrel in treetop,i when back and got my 2250 ,charged the bottle to 2,000psi ,and went back out to find treerat,he was laying flat on a limb,about 25yds. out. I aimed at head, shot and he fell dead. Fellow employee,said that was a perfect shot ,thru eye, i told him it was a bad shot,because i was aiming for between the eyes.lol. Yea right.lol.
But, at 850 FPS,he didn,t have a chance ,with the Predator.
Did not have my good camera for this special event ,with my newly finished carbine ,but he took a pix with his camera cell. You may make some of it out.

Thanks Guys,for the nice comments,i do have to say ,she hits hard and is more accurate than i can shoot.

I want to work where you work!
You get to work on your guns, shoot critters and get paid all at the same time. You must have a boss that hunts and is very understanding of your hunting needs.
Oh yah, nice pic of your freshly painted baby with her trophy.
