Field Target Squirrel

[davecole]

While I was setting up for another HFT video installment, this guy decided to make a gutsy move into my yard.

i had just set up the table and was coming back with my gun, when I spied him to my left with his back to me. Cocked and loaded, I ranged him using my newly installed comma wheel at 32 yards. No holdover required. I waited for him to quit bobbing and moving his head around, but with a squirrel foraging on the ground that appeared unlikely. I decided to place the crosshairs on his shoulder for a heart/lung shot.
The connection was instant as was the kill. He jumped up, lunged forward a few feet and curled up.

I'm guessing this to be about a 30-35 on the Troyer.

I’ve taken many, many a squirrel with .22 and .25’s but my first with a HFT rig!

Nice shooting. Lots of game taken (at some pretty long distances) with 12fpe rifles.

Nice shot! I've had deer and squirrels walk right out onto my powder-burner club's range. Insane on their part. But, you're in trouble there if you shoot one.

Just wanted to see if this is one of those small world things? Is that a PB Range in California that is leased from the Dept of Fish and Wildlife?

Outstanding !!! Bunny don't stand a chance with accurate FT rigs shooting at them !!



Couple years ago had a similar event happen. I was out sighting in my HFT rig late in the afternoon before a next days FT match when out behind some piled brush walks out a young Jack Rabbit who promptly was shot, then another and yet another making for a threesome inside a couple minuets. Crazy but true !
