Good luck. I hope you get all of them, and none get you. ;)

Good on You! I see any nest be it hornet wasp or any similar with exception to Bee's, I take them out including the nest. I make note of the location, them come calling after sundown. I see no possible reason for their existence.

An FYI for you guys. Brake cleaner in an aerosol can works quite well on wasps. One blast and they drop instantly dead. Wait til evening when they're all nestled onto their nest for the night and you can give them their final "Nighty Nite" send off. ;)

Thanks for your input Toxylon. So far I think I'm doing right by my springers and will continue the practice of not leaving them cocked other than while hunting.

Thanks. It'll be a while and I'm only thinking about it at this point.

If we didn't have questions, would we have need of this forum? ;)

German made Diana 48 bought brand new from Airguns of Arizona a few years ago. Fairly powerful and never been dry fired.

Hi Motorhead, do you have a site that lists services and prices?

If it's cocked it's loaded. I always discharge it in a safe direction before putting it away.

I'm talking Diana 48 specifically, and all springers generically? Reason I ask is I don't like to leave it cocked, but sometimes my targets don't show up for 20 minutes. The gun is a pain to cock when target presents itself.

Oh yeah, Crows will kill other birds, raid their nests and eat their eggs. To me a Crow is a target of opportunity.

Curious if you have tried Gamo Red Fire? I have had great success using them in .177 caliber for one shot kills on Tree Rats and Asian Doves.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. :)

I like it! If you don't mind, what recording system are you using?

Good, and thank you for the reply. I still have to chronograph my rifles, but think it was going at least 850 fps. I haven't seen any fresh moved dirt in the area so have to think I got him. In fact I'm sure I saw impact on the back of it's beady little skull, but everything from that point...
