A few more for my Atomic and my secret weapon...

The pests think they're in for a treat when they see me arrive... But it turns bittersweet quickly for them.

These critters were caught in the act.

@blackpaw, the lone starling (off hand at 30 yards) got a sour lemon coated, lead treat... In good conditions this little rig is capable out to 50 yards easily on these small pest. The Atomic is great in that it lets me take many of the close in pest that I had to pass up with my 30 FPE PCP. In hindsight for me 30 FPE is overkill at the ranges I'm taking these small pests. Even though my Atomic XR is only 🙄 generating 17 FPE at the muzzle, pass thrus on these small critters is a certainty. So for me less, has been way, way more in terms of my actual use.
