I just got home late last night from vacation and itching to shoot something. Lucky for me I still have the weekend. I heard a crow outside in the neighbors tree, and lucky for me my neighbors on both sides like me to shoot crows. So I snuck out the side door and eased up to the edge of the house and took aim. The distance is about 45 yards, I am shooting a 22 cal at about 640 fps. I therefore aim about 5 inches over his head and fire. I hear a smack and watch him fly towards the park and then start his downward spiral :{ . Right after I shot other crows started making all kinds of noise. Two of which landed on my fence side by side, having not noticed me. I took aim again and fire, this time there was no movement and the crow took a crash landing. His buddy just kept cawing and did not fly. As quickly as I could I loaded another pellet having ducked back around the corner as not to be seen and poked the barrel out again and fire once more. This one did like the first and flew down the street and started his crash landing where I was also unable to retrieve. My daughters were watching this take place and the oldest stated "awesome". The youngest stated, "that was cool". I can't wait to get them hunting.
