First squirrel with HPA2250
« on: October 17, 2007, 10:51:36 AM »
First thing this morning at work , i finished painting my HPA 2250,i let it dry for 2 hours,removed masking tape from gauges and chamber. Then i walked outside and spotted a sqirrel in treetop,i when back and got my 2250 ,charged the bottle to 2,000psi ,and went back out to find treerat,he was laying flat on a limb,about 25yds. out. I aimed at head, shot and he fell dead. Fellow employee,said that was a perfect shot ,thru eye, i told him it was a bad shot,because i was aiming for between the eyes.lol. Yea right.lol.
But, at 850 FPS,he didn,t have a chance ,with the Predator.
Did not have my good camera for this special event ,with my newly finished carbine ,but he took a pix with his camera cell. You may make some of it out.

I want to work where you work!

You get to work on your guns, shoot critters and get paid all at the same time.  You must have a boss that hunts and is very understanding of your hunting needs.

Oh yah, nice pic  of your freshly painted baby with her trophy.

LOL, Its not like this all the time,back on those 98-100 degree summer days ,i worked 10hr days, still do, 6 days a week,got the big job done and is problem free now,so boss let me have my time to airguns and bowhunting deer,because he depends on me when something wears out or breaks,it will get fixed.So ,we just work together.
