Early morning Grackle
« on: August 20, 2008, 02:30:08 AM »
Well, I woke up this morning, had some breakfast and was enjoying a cup of coffee looking out the window. I was watching all of the nice song birds eating at the feeder, when out of no where this avain bully flew in to spoil all of their fun. I leaned over and grabbed the FWB 124  (I try to keep atleast 1 shooter bye every window) and gave that grackle just what the doctor ordered, a CPHP right to the kill zone.  He folded right up and quit his squalking. Put it this way, he wont be bothering my song birds anymore :) after about five minuites they all started to come back and peacefully feed at the bird feeder.

Thanks Harry, I have really been admiring that Condor of yours. How are you filling it? I have a new PCP on it's way with a hill pump.  Can't wait for it to get here. just hopeing it's not too much of a chore to fill with the pump.
thanks again,
Chris

Tim, I have a BSA coming... It will be here tomorrow. It 's a 10 shot .22 and is coming with a BSA/Hill pump. I got a great deal on it from a pawn shop that I have been doing business with... I am trying to get them to sell me a TX200 they have had there for ever and they don't want to let go of it. You know us air gunners can't pass up a good deal :)  I will post some pics up tomorrow or Saturday of my new shooter!! can hardly wait...lol
