Still got it
« on: May 10, 2008, 08:48:18 AM »
Well half day's of work and the doc's leave me kinda slow at times but I alway's HAVE to get out and hunt or try. Anyway I decided to headout to the slew that's at the back of my place with the 2240. I had been dropping em plenty but the vermin were dropping into the water and I mothballed my diving gear lol. I thought if I attack from a different angle instead of from the deck I could knock one to the earth There I sat relaxing in the shade of the tree's that lined the slew being the bush so to speak when they started to arrive. I let em get comfortable for a spell and slow and smooth I raised the 2240, Red Dot on and placed it on the first fella at about 15yrds, safety off and sent him a Predator. Instant death as he dropped from the branch and hit the dirt. I didn't move  even after  a mess of em took to the sky, except for one brave soul. At a slug's pace I loaded another Predator all the time watching his reactions, he hang's so I raise her again and at 20yrd's the Predator find's it's mark again. There wasn't a hint of wing flap from neather. go figure with a .22 Predator lol. With the tree's clear of the vermin I get up and grab my little trophies hehehe and head home, felt real good to do what I live for and I think I can still drop em on the spot. Both were breast shot's and feather's flew in and out said the Predator. The best med's I've taken so far.:) Ed

That is a FACT. You know if you painted a slingshot camo and put crosman on it he'd kill using it with the same precision as he does with the air rifles.
