Well half day's of work and the doc's leave me kinda slow at times but I alway's HAVE to get out and hunt or try. Anyway I decided to headout to the slew that's at the back of my place with the 2240. I had been dropping em plenty but the vermin were dropping into the water and I mothballed my diving gear lol. I thought if I attack from a different angle instead of from the deck I could knock one to the earth There I sat relaxing in the shade of the tree's that lined the slew being the bush so to speak when they started to arrive. I let em get comfortable for a spell and slow and smooth I raised the 2240, Red Dot on and placed it on the first fella at about 15yrds, safety off and sent him a Predator. Instant death as he dropped from the branch and hit the dirt. I didn't move even after a mess of em took to the sky, except for one brave soul. At a slug's pace I loaded another Predator all the time watching his reactions, he hang's so I raise her again and at 20yrd's the Predator find's it's mark again. There wasn't a hint of wing flap from neather. go figure with a .22 Predator lol. With the tree's clear of the vermin I get up and grab my little trophies hehehe and head home, felt real good to do what I live for and I think I can still drop em on the spot. Both were breast shot's and feather's flew in and out said the Predator. The best med's I've taken so far.:) Ed

That is a FACT. You know if you painted a slingshot camo and put crosman on it he'd kill using it with the same precision as he does with the air rifles.

Thank's a bunch and I can't think of a better bunch of guy's and gal's which are my family to hang around.:) I alway's expect the best out of myself if it's airgun hunting and tweeking or trying to finish the long honey do list hehehe. Felt kinda sporty today, didn't hunt but just sat at the shooting bench and killed animal target's, tried to cook em but they just kept burning up lol. Ed
