Looked out my skylights into the trees in the backyard and saw 2 pigeons perched up high. Ran down to the basement, loaded the old Sheridan Blue Streak .20 with a domed pellet, snuck outside, cranked the scope to 9 power, used the corner of the house for a rest, put the crosshairs on the chest of bird #1, took a long deep breath, held my breath, squeezed ever so slowly,,,,, BAM,,,,, a perfect miss. Birds departed.
Had another pellet in hand so loaded her up again, leaned against the house and waited. Sure enough, another one makes a pit stop. Same routine, squeezed gently, BAM,,,, another perfect miss. Birds flew off.
Thought the scope might be off so went and got another pellet, loaded, aimed at a target in the back yard and hit it dead center. Oh well, I guess ya gotta miss in order to appreciate the hits. :) Tomorrow another day.
