It has been a fruitful weekend. The wife and son are downtown taking care of his passport. I'm at home editing videos and making squirrel stew.
The first three squirrels were shot with my .22 Benji Summit NP2. After hitting high on all three of them because I'd zeroed inside, where it was nice and warm, and shot outside after the gun had cooled off 70°, I put it away for the next couple. PCPs don't seem to suffer much, if at all, from temperature variances.
The first one was hit on the snout, and ran off to live until today. (next video)
The second one was a solid, upper-chest hit. RWS Super H-Point @ 20 FPE thumped him hard. Went in through the sternum, through the heart, through a lung, and somehow, it exited the chest lower down. It must've tumbled around inside him.
The third one was spined and crawled off my property and bled out somewhere else.
The fourth one, with the .177 Compatto and H&N Baracuda Hunter, turned his lights out pretty quickly. The pix at the end of the video are of him.
Here is my previous video, but redone with some annotations added, and a couple pix at the end. You may have to watch from your computer to see the annotations.
Stay tuned, I've got a nice high-speed video of the first one, which I snout-shot, only this time, I cleaned his ears out. ;D
