Got a treat today as I drove into the driveway of my home. 2 squirrels in the backyard frolicking like all was well.
I brought the girls inside and some of the groceries, grabbed the 34' and a crosman dome and opened the sliding glass door to the back yard. The tripod was already out there and all I had to do was add the bag. The squirrels were digging and eating oblivious to my intentions. I set the 34' on the bag, put the crosshairs on the one furthest away began to slow my breathing. 5 seconds later he sat up nice and pretty and I let the pellet fly. I was absolutely astounded to hear the "CRACK" as the dome it home. I have never heard a hit that loud before. Following suit, he hit the ground and made only a couple leg twitches before ceasing to exist.
I brought in the rest of the groceries and put them away. I then put the small one down for a nap and went to check on my prize. I was a bit surprised to see so much blood on the ground but when I examined the squirrel I understood why. The pellet hit him between the eye and ear and exited the very same way. Just where I'd aimed and at 35 yards I don't have to correct for distance.
Here's the pics.
