First woodchuck this spring!!!

[ChuckHunter]

Met up with a couple buddies today to do some bird pesting at a farm in Battle Creek!

A good friend got a new permission at a huge dairy farm...not a lot of bird action today because it was pretty windy but we got a few...anyway we decided to do some target shooting out back in a valley out of the wind...just as I was zeroing in my Brocock XR sniper. 22 with some FX hybrids I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye !!! Sure enough furry vermin alert!

75 yards right in the Mellon...made the whole trip right there!!! Lol. Still a long way to go to catch last year's total of 36 but it's a start... James from Michigan

Congratulations on the first chuck of the season with that sweet Bantam XR. 75 yard kill is impressive, the FX Hybrids did a good job.

James,

Congrats on your first chuck of the year and great melon shot 75 yards!!! what speed are you shooting the FX hybrids?

Great shot on that ghog with your Bantam Sniper at LONG RANGE! Nice pic.

It's going to be a bad summer for varmints on your new permission!

Thank you sir!

I bought this gun with the intention of making it a dedicated slugger...and its working out well!

James,

Congrats on your first chuck of the year and great melon shot 75 yards!!!

what speed are you shooting the FX hybrids?

Been tuning it for a couple weeks to find that sweet spot...I've got the reg set at 160 bar now and it hit its platue at 915fps with the hybrids...backed it down to 890 and its super quiet and just sipping air now!

10 shots is only a 5 fps spread...and printing half inch groups at 50 yards...the 20.3 Daystate Howlers shoot pretty well also but not like the hybrids!

 

[ChuckHunter]

Well done. 

It's going to be a bad summer for varmints on your new permission!

Hay Lewis, 

Yeah man I'm ready for some summer...lol

Not quite here yet... it was mid 40s and windy yesterday! I'm really surprised that woodchuck was even out...catching some sun in valley was a bad decision on his part..Lol

 

[ChuckHunter]

Nice shot!

Now that's a good compliment from one of the long range masters! Ive got a .30 cal Maverick that's next on the list for some fine tuning...

Dude I know it's still freaking cold...lol. usually don't start seeing them until April. 

The little valley we were shooting in is the farm grave yard...bunch of old crap piled up!

The plate on the front of that truck was from 1979!!! Lol. His hole was under it!

Congrats. I was just saying to my friend it is warm enough here they should be out.

Nice job on the chuck. But I have you beat. Got one last Saturday and another today. Too bad they don’t count. Ya, got them with the truck! It was 29* this morning when he tried making it across the road. Must have been really hungry. Took a walk around the family farm yesterday but didn’t see any new diggings. Good luck beating last years record.
