I had the sound turned off so as not to record any of my inadvertent out gassing or tourette-like out bursts…

My Zulus is the basic non LRF model. My Atomics are sending the CPHPs at 725 fps for just under 17 fpe. I’ve taken starlings out to 50+ yards with both my Atomics, for me they have been outstanding little guns…
My technique is to bag the loners as soon as they present. When there’s a group shooting one “will” educate “some” of the remaining birds. Even with a quieter gun if you drop enough from a group the rest get wise and “wing it” pun intended. Yes, they come back…
I used to put out oil sunflower seeds in feeders, but that got expensive and eaten quickly. Inadvertently I noticed that the suet cakes lasted longer. And they attracted lots of birds, the ones messily pecking away? Drop lots of pieces for the ground feeders below, so lots of action on the cheap. And eight pack of cakes $12-$15 is good for a month’s time. A plus is that the squirrels don’t mess around with the wire caged cakes. I only feed the birds in winter, Spring through Fall I maintain a bird bath. I love the activity in the yard.
