Took my 15 year old boy out hunting for the first time today. He's a great shot, been shooting off and on for years but never had the urge to punch anything but paper. Too busy with High School Bass tournaments!
Squirrel hunting is not as easy as he thought it'd be. I guess he was picturing a furry shooting gallery or something, haha. After a couple of rookie mistakes he locked on to one WAY up in a giant oak. Patiently waited for the right shot and took it. The fall from 60-70 feet made quite the THUD. Perfect shot right through the heart (see pic) with a 24 grain TWENTY cal at 990 fps. Was great seeing him take his first squirrel with an air rifle I've enjoyed for so many years.
Well look at me babbling on like a proud father! I'll shut up now, here's a couple pics.
