FX Impact - keeping the greys in check

[Shoto1]

This big chap off one of the feeders at 20 yards - Heart & lung shot with JSB Exact Jumbo, (15.89gr), dropping him with instant lights out. 

I’m using H&L shots more often at these closer ranges; extremely effective, with much less drama and mess from the head shots. 

The FX Impact has proven itself time and time again in the field

Nice shooting, Shoto :yes:

I'm with you. I switched from brain shots to h&l shots about a thousand squirrels ago.

Cheers Matt - I’m about 700 squirrels behind you, but as my Impact has a 18 shot magazine, I should catch up in due course ?

Shoto1,

Excellent shooting Sir...

I aim for heart - lung shots now when I go after ground squirrels. Lot less blood than a head shot. That tells me they die a lot quicker. Your thoughts?

Many thanks ~ hopefully a few more will be dispatched over the weekend.

Generally speaking, most of my fellow shooters appear to favour the head shot. 
Here is one I previously dispatched with solid hit, pinning it to the tree whilst feeding, (.22 Crosman Premier Hollow point). 

However, I have found that a well placed shot to the boiler room will fold them over very quickly, without all the jumping around with nerves shutting down, that a head shot can often produce. 

Ultimately, a well placed pellet in either of these locations, will humanely do the job.
