Great hits on those two Starlings...your Benji Trail XL/Predator combo smacked them good.

Thanks Stanley.

The "Beast" is up to five Starlings.  This morning was the first fly-off, but all my fault. Starling was out at 30 yards and I didn't pay enough attention to hold. It made it about 60 feet to the nieghbors yard, then dropped like a rock. Waiting to see if  my two clean-up Crows, or maybe a stray cat finds it.

Josh,

Thanks, it sure is a fun gun to shoot.

And something cleaned up the Starling last night. The neighbor's infared sensing yard lights, which are pointed right at where the Starling dropped, went on several times after they went to bed. My guess is a stray cat found a free meal.  

If you want to see real Starling thumpers, check out what WadeS and DougT do. They've been dubbed  "Kings" of the Starling killers for very good reason.

Don't know about springers in that price range. Too rich for my cheap old self !  :D
