    Building a new gun up for Squirrel shooting

    Adapter arrived today so I was able to fill the bottle on the gun, I filled it to 200 as per max fill and fitted it back to the gun. Filled the magazine with a few pellets I was given in .20 and fired them off. The MattW new silencer certainly seems to do the job and it seemed to settle over the...

    Building a new gun up for Squirrel shooting

    I spend a lot of time out shooting my sub 12 Air Arms S510 Ultimate and have had some really great results, so so accurate. i wanted a gun that I could use for Squirrel and shoot from the shoulder, sitting or off sticks that was a bigger caliber, lighter and still sub 12 i was offered the action...

    Squirrel feeder

    What a great shooting position he is in simple is best, I checked the 2 I have on permissions tonight and 1 is starting to get some attention. On the downside we have a lot of nuts in season at the moment so plenty of fresh seasonal available over my maize and wheat feed

    Got a couple pests this morning

    I am in the UK and hunt with .177 you learn the limits of the Power and I rarely have my pests needing a 2nd shot, funnily enough I had one today. Hey ho even with 30 - 40 ft/lb a poor shot will leave the target alive Agree the larger caliber at higher power has more tremor damage .... But a...

    Squirrel feeder

    One of my permissions is currently over run with Squirrel at the moment but there are several nut trees that they hide in, so I decided to build a feeder to try to concentrate them into a single place. I made rough feeder and filled it with a mix of Wheat and Maize then left it for a few days...

    Something odd happened today.....

    
Unless you were stuck at 12 ft/lb then you would shoot .177 and shot placement is king

    Squirrel and a Rabbit in the rain

    His other eye was perfectly clear, whether it's an old injury or a recovery from Myxy .... Who knows appreciate the comments though, Squirrel was most satisfying given it was digging in my lawn

    Squirrel and a Rabbit in the rain

    saw the Rabbit a long way off, managed to crawl within 35 yds of it before I took the shot, I was really pleased with myself for getting so close. I gave myself a virtual pat on the back for such a good effort. on further examination of the Rabbit it appeared all my self adulation was worthless...

    The conditions issue is the same for any shot not just long distance wind will affect the 25 yd shots the same as a 55 yd shot

    Dances with Squirrels

    I shot one in the garden at home about a week back, it was around 20 yds so I used the .22 TDR instead of my favoured S510 US. Lined the headshot and slipped the trigger. Squirrel jumped like he had just been electrocuted and ran off up the garden. I couldn't believe it, even took a test shot...
