(http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o378/marksman_2008/DSCN0257.jpg)her first quarry. Ammo: Benji/Sheridan "disco" HP's (CPHP's) in .22 cal., 14.3 grs. Weapon: CDTTT'd RWS 34 "Diana" w/Center-Point 3-9X32 NAO,.... Wally-World Basic model ( well this will do for now at least LOL's). Damn why won't the GRT-III trig work on this Broad!?!?!?!?!?!?Had a dream shot at 25 yards. Between the eyes head on, or go for the front white blaze on the chest. I opt'd for the head shot, slowly pulled the trigger, and right before final sheer release,...she stood higherwith a slight turn, and the pellet hit the lower lung,....all the way through the body cavity and rested just under the skin above the opposite rear leg ( the white looking spot in the pix). No 'death spasms', no 'dances', just a small hop, and that was all she wrote. Upon dressing, her insides were devastated to say the least. I do feel kinda bad because the .22 makes hunting them almost toooo easy. But I'm happy that death followedswiftly without much suffering to speak of,..never saw so much as a twitch( hope Sir Erskine appreciates this 'one shot kill',...No sarcasm intended Bro'). Just wanted to share this little moment with everyone,...especially Bob and my 'yankee' bretheren Jeff. Told you there was some celestial $#it going on today!!!! LOL's Joe/Cuz, get feelin' better real soon man!!!

Good shooting. Lot's of airgunners have the .177 Diana 34 here...and their guns do a number on the nutters. With your .22 Diana 34.....that beauty will put the lights out on those nutters immediately....as in your hunt.
