Beak-Shot Yellow Beak

[gamo2hammerli]

Another head-shot from the .177 FX Cyclone!!!!  Almost another eye-shot...only 2mm off....shot it on the beak and the ft. lb. put it down immediately.  Distance was only 24 yards away.  After de-feathering it I saw alot of hemorrage down it's neck, shoulder and abit in it's right breast.

Great shooting. 2 mm off at 24 yards, that's high standards. Good job.

As if head shooting a Starling wasn't tough enough, you get bored and shoot the eyes out of them. Now it's the beak ?  What's next, shoot the feathers off so ya don't have to pluck 'em by hand !!!!:D  

Good shooting Stanley !!!!

Another fine shot at those pesty Yellow Beaks Stanley!  

I really like the FX Cyclone.  I bid on a couple of them late last year but the sellers wouldn't budge on the price.  They were .22cal but one had a very bad scratch so I was kind of glad he didn't accept my offer.  
I think the Condor excitement is wearing off little by little.  I don't even feel like doing what I had planned for some of them.  I know I want a nice European multi-shot PCP next.  It's just a matter of time before I sell one of the Condors to fund a multi-shot PCP.  I can only go up or more fancy from a Condor I guess, although the Mrod is always in the back of my mind too.  At this point I want a nice one with a decent stock like an AA 410 ERB/FAC or at least one with a full-shrouded or bull barrel.

Thanks guys.  As always...I aim for center mass on these vermins.....just lucky the pellet hit it`s head/beak.  My Cyclone`s shooting just abit to the right....I`ll have to adjust the scope settings.

That's ok.  I remember I took 2 Grackles with head shots in the Fall of '08 with the Condor .22 at 45yds.  I was aiming at their breast or center mass, but because the gun was zeroed at 30yds, I did not compensate for the extra distance so it shot high.  It so happened the pellet found their head both times, and they were doa when they hit the ground   You gotta love it when things work out better than you thought, hehe.
