Death wish at 98.75 yards

[Ghostranger169]

I was shooting .218 H&N 21g slugs out of FX Crown MK2 w/ 380mm barrel at my hundred yard "gong" this morning before work, and I saw a squirrel. Having never seen a squirrel there before(especially while I was shooting!), I figured this squirrel was tired of stealing my damn birdseed and chewing his way into my barn and probably wanting to have a .22 caliber hunk of lead inserted into his brainpan. As I was already sighted in at 100 yards, I obliged him by holding under a tiny bit and popped him right in the tater!

No more free birdseed for you!

Thanks, qball! But I didn't exactly have to use much marksmanship as I was already zeroed and shooting at that distance off a bench I thought it was funny tho.

Flintsack's 100 yard squirrel hunting shots in the snow with a .177 are quite a bit more impressive!

Apparently he didn’t get the original memo either! Nice delivery.

Fantastic fuse box shot @ 100yds! Never sell that Crown! Nice photos.

Great shot! This has to be the future of airguns, rifles tuned to use slugs. I have yet to try slugs, but someday.

Very nice head shot. Come on up here to Montana and I will put you on to some prairie dog towns with PD's as far as you can see in 10X binoculars. How about 3 linear miles of nothing but PD's? (and a few prairie rattlers) You'll get some practice shooting in Montana winds as well. Makes it more challenging. Bring LOTS of pellets. And a really good rangefinder. You obviously have a nice scope and rifle. Give it a real workout. And you'll get lots of chances beyond 100 yards, but rarely less than 50 yards.

Beezer,

Thanks for the invite! Would love to come out west and try my hand at PD shooting! I would love to travel anywhere, actually Maybe the situation will be better soon?

Regards,
