R9 Goldfinger goes on first hunt-
« on: December 31, 2007, 08:38:36 AM »
I just got this a week before Christmas as a present to myself. It is the Basspro version with the 3x9x32 and is in .22. This gun really shoots great and is not too hold sensitive like some others. Anyway, I went out with my friend Larry after work today to try for some squirrels. Larry just got a Beeman GS950 .22 from John at work and now he's hooke.  We met at the woods at 1:00 and hunted until 3:00. We each managed to get one squirrel. Mine is the top one and larry got the bottom one. Both shots were almost 40 yrds but both squirrels dropped dead. Another great day in the woods!!!

Nice hunt Randy. Feels good to get someone else hooked on our addiction doesn't it. Just remind him we meet here every night to talk about our problems or justify buying another gun. hehe.

I used Beeman FTS in my R9 .22 and Larry is using CPH in his GS950 .22. My R9 also likes Predators but they shoot about 1 inch lower at 30 yrds.
