3 Checked in for Breakfast.....None Checked Out.
« on: January 30, 2010, 02:26:32 AM »
I have/had several squirrels ( actually 4 ) that have made it a habit of showing up only on the weekends to plunder the feeders..    This morning at 8 o'clock, sure enough 3 came racing for the feeders.   I grabbed the G-1 with a chopped barrel and snuck out the backdoor.   They had retreated into the tops of several very tall pines in the front yard.    They thought they had concealed themselves from view.   I spotted 2 hunkered together on the same branch, at least 60ft up.   Sighted on the best shot and touched off.  Scratch 1 squirrel .  His best friend jumped to another branch and gave me a better view of him.   Scratch squirrel #2.   The 3rd squirrel had taken up refuge in another group of pines and thought he was concealed....wrong.  The RWS pellet hit him so hard that I clearly heard the slap of the hit.  Scratch squirrel #3.   All removed in less than 10 minutes.   I could keep up  this kind of shooting all day.  Now, where is that 4th squirrel????
 

Pellet used: RWS   Superdome  .177
Weather : Cold and Rain

This pellet is very accurate in this particular AG.

What computer doesn't have a USB port?  Computers have been built with USB ports standard since 1998.  I know because I had my own computer business.  Nice try though  :)  

All digital cameras have had a USB port for several years.  You connect a USB cable between the two, load the software that came with the camera, or the Windows software will pop-up automatically asking what pics you want to download from your camera.

Excellent shooting at those nutters....and they were upward angled shots.....much harder than same level shooting.
