I enjoy watching “some” pesting videos but anything over 5 minutes? I pass on… Short and sweet. An AGN member has been posting very short ratting videos (2-5 minutes tops), which keeps me coming back to see a few of his rat kills… Those who regularly post up pesting content would likely benefit...

Alas, there are rats in the dilapidated old chicken barn that came with the property. Spotted one last night, but wasn’t ready for the shot. This evening I sat on my back deck and waited. I did not record the shot as I was way more interested in “making” the shot. It was facing me at the shot it...

While the higher percentage of shots I take on small critters are DRT kills. There are days like today. After a seriously contentious day at work. I bagged three starlings, the first? A DRT lightning strike. The next? A solid thwack, but it glided until it crashed into the side of my barn. The...

The highlight of the walkthrough was being able to see an excitedly happy 7 year old boy shoot the Atomic and Pathfinder. It really made my day, am headed back shortly after pests this time.

Heading out for an Orchard walkthrough where I have been asked to deploy my deadly trinity of BRKs… To say I am excited is an understatement as I use to hunt on this property many years ago. The main targets at the moment will be woodchucks, but there are other pests to be had…. So I get to...

She is definitely ready for some nighttime action. The scope is sweet and my little Atomic? Sweeter still, as you can see she is seriously pesting accurate with the CPHP. All shots 25-64 yards, seated from a table with Accu Tac BR2 as front support.

The ranges are from 25 to 66 yards, old man standing, Atomic in the yoke of a over 50 year old tripod. When going after pests I shoot from a much more solid, typically seated, position. Sending CPHPs at 725 fps for 17 fpe at the muzzle… As you can see even the misses would be “kills” on...

All shots at 20 and 35 yards (suet cake) Atomic XR sending CPHPs… At these ranges the Crosmans simply devastate them with proper shot placement. Center mass and down they go… The reticle on the screen is much, much, sharper and legible to my eyes than through the viewfinder. The reticle options...

Plastic rat at 66 yards, +3 MOA, 7 FPE… Black walnut husk 56 yards, +2 MOA, 8 FPE. Atomic XR sending CPHPs. Lots of rain here today, am digging the little scope the more I use it… As you can see the Atomic reaches out there and will kill small pest to those distances… Though the majority of my...

Just got invited to help keep the pest population at the local orchard under control. They are overrun with woodchucks and want me to take them out… There are also hundreds of pest birds, and I am sure there will be rats on the premises. Best part is that its five minutes away. Many years ago...

This was my first night outing with the Zulus bagged three, recovered the two. My setup was less than idea and will have to be refined. 8-9 yard shots into small crevasses the rats have created in the slab. Going forward am simply killing them without recording and will document the kills...

They have been coming in to the suet cakes and getting comfortable, there were maybe a dozen out there today. This one came in alone and volunteered to be my first pest bird kill, as you can see it simply crumples at the shot. Atomic XR .22 with Arken Zulus atop sending CPHPs starling at 20 yards.

Please understand that I am posting this as a novice user getting to know the unit… I purchased it for its night pesting capabilities. Which I still have to put to the test. Am sure that a technically savvy person can get more out of it than I. My intentions are to record a few rat kills. Other...

28 yards, Atomic XR, 14.3 gr CPHPs at 725 fps, rested in a yoke, off of my father in laws, 60 year old tripod…🤓 DRT! Shot from the second story of my infested barn. I was literally standing in a pile of black walnut husks. The reds have gotten absolutely comfortable in my neglected barn. Am...

I can no longer attach photos to my threads. Tried logging in and out to no avail…

The sidewalk chalk scored into four pieces, all smaller than a mouse.The reticle through the view screen is way too thin, looks 100% in the playback… Shot standing off a rickety bipod am sure it will get better.

Fifty yard rabbit, am still in the learning phase with this scope. When the nights get warmer I will be able to play with it more. The rabbit got a pass…🤓

It’s amusing to me seeing some taking the buttstocks off of “rifles” and calling them “pistols” for field target shooting. Why not simply a “buttstockless” rifles division? Unless you can “holster” the arm it “isn’t” a pistol. Just because you take the buttstock off of a long arm, does not make...

I like to believe I’ve learned a lesson from a safe full of unused powder burners. And am looking “not” to duplicate the same with airguns. Truth is I can only use one gun at a time. To that end my air gunning trinity: Pathfinder XR: Plinking/pesting Atomic XR #1: Daytime pesting with some...

It was scheduled for delivery on the 29th, but arrived today. And of course I can’t play with it as I will be on the road until this evening. Quickly mounted because I couldn’t resist getting a look at it on the gun. My intent is to sight in this evening and go from there. Will post up my...
