Yellow beaks eat dirt, not sead.
« on: March 14, 2008, 10:01:40 AM »
I have the day off due to the rain. I finish concrete for a living. The rain and my job don't like each other.

  Good news is I got my honey dues done, and watched the bird feeder for some unwanted critters. The red winged blackbirds are the biggest pests scaring away all the goldfinches and chickadees. I leave them alone though they make good decoys for the starlings. The starlings will show up and then I head upstairs and crank open a window in the bedroom. The shade is usually closed a bit just so they don't see too much movement. Slide the gun out, settle the cross-hairs from my new Center Point 4x16 on one and pop goes the Starling. I was 75% today. Do not know how I missed the other one. I do love the new scope. Nice and clear with my eyes. Looks pretty cool too.

Nice shooting.

I had few starlings myself making a ruckus at the feeder this morning.

I managed to get only 1....they never came back.

I was bummed because I took it with a 2250AS w/24" bbl.
Then I swiped the scope off of it to put on the Disco (temporary), sighted it in and nothing came around after that.

Oh well theres always tomorrow.

.22 Discovery 4x16x40 Centerpoint
.22 Beeman SS1000 4x16x56 Centerpoint
.22 2250XT 6x32 Centerpoint
.22 Custom 2240 Tasco Red-Dot w/bling

And various other pistols too
