Ok I'll keep it short and simple, don't want to bore you with my hunt lol. Jeff and some of our other great hunter's have been dropping G-hog's left and right and the hunter in me couldn't stand it anymore hehehe. I havent felt to hot this week, treatment but I knew that one good hunt would bring back my Zen. A few of my friend's have a G-hog problem, under their shed's etc. enough said. I watched him for two day's, I know when he head's out and come's back, the hunter in me. Today was his last tour, set up twentyfive yard's out with the B26 Sporter and let's try a Gamo Rocket. 11:30 in the afternoon the little guy step's out for a bite, I'm the one being the bush out there. Pulled her up placed the crosshair's behind the ear and sent the Rocket away, just that quick with a death quiver he slumped over with no struggle. The Rocket found it's mark and exited out the front of his skull. He's little but will taste just fine and about ten minute's later his big mamma came running out and headed for cover, another hunt story lol. Shadow's got his G-hog. Ed

Thank's Stanley, the Rocket's are hard hitter's and accurate at shorter ranges like 20 to 30 yard's. Ed

Yep...I used one on a pigeon that was pooping up my friend's roof and walls.  The Rocket went right through it.  That little copper ball in front of the pellet really helps.....
