Head shot sparrow… Atomic XR

Shot six this evening, had one double at 20 yards, the next three at 30 yards. Did not bother retrieving the carcasses today. Took the pictured sparrow at 17 yards. Only it’s head was showing above that rim. Sending CPHPs, TP on low, it just rocked back at impact and did not twitch one bit.

@Ranchibi, the sparrow was begging for a headshot by peeking above the lip of the feed dish. The CPHPs simply wreck them. The low power (relatively) of the Atomic XR has me paying sparrows special attention.
Well Luis, he begged for it and you obliged! LOL! Great shot as their heads rarely hold still for any amount of time!
