Got to upgrade .22 Taipan Mutant Shorty w/ the "Cobra Mod" from Motorhead. Lil pup is more quiet now w/o any moderator due to the custom peek poppet, & copper chamber tube w/ spring Motorhead created.
Big Thanks to Motorhead & all other tuners who created the Cobra Mod.

Shooting positions: Sitting in the car & or sitting on the ground Indian style deep inside my front porch/garage shooting w/ the small Atlas bipod…
Preparation: Saw these furballs chill'n @ the 55, 62, & 75 yard trees. Grabbed the "Cobra Mod" .22 Shorty to test out.
Shooting Procedures: Waited for the furballs to lay comfy while all 3 were inquiring/watching me. All saw me as I was watching them...
Lasered all furballs w/ the rangefinder...
Pressed the "start" button on the cell phone camera to start the video...
Dialed the elevation turret to desired yardage…
Zoomed in on the cell phone… Adjusted/corrected to the best clear view w/ the side shot camera adapter & glanced @ the bubble level (adjusted cant on bipod if needed)…
Cocked the "Cobra Mod" .22 Shorty…
Aimed the crosshairs straight on or over to the left by 1/2, or 3/4 milquads (Doped for wind)…
Pulled the trigger...
Dialed the elevation turret back to "zero"…
55 yard furball was a "hole in 1"...pellet flew straight & true to impact. Waited an hour for her to pop out again, she never ever did...no retrieval, she was 20 yards up the tree...

62 yard furball head shot...held 1/2 mil quad to the left for wind & the lubed JSB 15.89g pellet punctured through her head & lodged itself inside her skull… Pellet impacted where I aimed, she bleed out onto the tree, fell asleep, & did the "Death Slide"...

75 yard furball head shot...held 3/4 mil quad to the left for the wind (you can see her fur knocked off her head after impact)...
