    Head shot thread

    I I would say that a proper head shot causes instant brain death. Everything after is just the result of something akin to an overload of the nerves. I shot a few squirrels one morning about 20minutes apart. The first was a head shot and I left it to go after another. When I finally got back...

    Hopefully a future dinner strolling through the field off my front porch. Unfortunately it won't be taken with an airgun. I'll get him with my crossbow.

    Red Fox Squirrels

    I saw the title and immediately thought of Redd Foxx. And now the Sanford and Son theme song will be stuck in my head all day. Nice work taking out an invasive!

    All things Rabbit...post your rabbit hunts here :-)

    When it snows and you just happen to walk up to a rabbit and wonder why someone would put a fake rabbit there on the edge of the woods... And then it hits you! That's not a statue, there's no snow on it! It's just a rabbit doing it's best to be a statue! And it's less than 10' away when you...

    Arrows as Pesting Markers…

    I have some arrows I can't use anymore...and some rabbit dens near my garden. Good idea!

    Cleaning solution for rifle barrels.

    When I first got my .22lr back after moving around a bit post college it needed a good cleaning. I went to get a cleaning kit and some fluid of my own since my pops shop wasn't close anymore. The old timer behind the counter recommended Ballistol. I got home, opened it and started having all...

    Cleaning solution for rifle barrels.

    I use Ballistol on any and all guns. It's safe on everything.

    SHOOT & SEE TARGETS MADE AT HOME?

    I've done the DIY Rossi method on 11"x17" sheets of fluorescent paper for shooting at distance. It works well but is time consuming. I usually make 2-4 sheets at a time and then store them weighted face down to avoid curling. I bought a quadrant target a while back and now I cut pieces and...

    Air Venturi POI Shifting

    +1^ My solution was a little unorthodox. Since I use mine to hunt, it gets banged around, leaned up against trees, where it sometimes falls over....I needed to add stability. First step was the Donny FL barrel shroud adapter. Then I used a barrel band from Black Arts Design in addition to the...

    Umarex "Umarex Notos Update HUGE power Upgrade!" Or is it?

    My grand total is $650. I paid $215 for the Notos, the gauge block, plenum, plenum extension, barrel kit and cut and crowned FX barrel liner makes up the rest. Will I get it back? I don't know/care but I also wasn't ever planning on selling my 5lb(6+ with a scope) woods walker. It's simple, not...

    A .22 to the dome out of the BRK Sniper XR gave him a very bloody nose.

    Brocock/BRK Brockcock Sniper XR Sahara, newbie friendly?

    If you get one, just go ahead and stock up on Crosman Premier Hollow Points (CPHP). They are the cheapest pellet going and the gun shoots them really well. Also order a Carm magazine or 2. The stock mags are sweet just expensive. I also own a highly modded Notos, which I love, but the Notos is a...

    I Experienced The Infamous POI Shift On FX Maverick VP

    It looks like the crosshair sweeps right to the POI on the trigger pull. I had a terrible trigger habit that took some training to get rid of. It never showed itself until I started to shoot smaller game and paper targets. A firearms instructor saw me shooting and offered a tip to improve my...

    Squirrel season in two days but...

    I'm across the river in IL, no decline here. They are definitely harder to find with leaves on the trees and underbrush. I always see the most in the early morning around sunrise when I walk the dogs.

    What got you started?

    I started as a kid shooting mice and rats in a barn with a pump action BB gun. Shot plenty of red squirrels trying to live in my log cabin as an adult with my dad's old 10 pump Daisy. And yeah I know no shooting inside but this was war, I took precautions. I also won that battle. Finally moved...
