Mordax Venom - Pesting

A couple of reds have been chewing our family's cottage and it was time to put an end to that with the mordax. Both shots were up in tall pines. One red was about 30ft up stationary barking at us (big mistake). My old man was with me and gave me the nod to try out my new hardware. Pop, down he came. My dad didn't see the second one as I aimed higher and let out another shot at about 60ft up.. It was looking down at us and entered his shoulder and out his abdomen. It sounded like a soda can exploded way up in the tree and he came crashing down through branches. Usually my dad and I are pretty serious when hunting, but this was so dramatically comical how he came down cracking off branches and landing with a loud thud. Good times. We went and had a beer and a giggle by the lake afterwards.

This is my first semi auto PCP and it's a 30cal shooting fx atomic 44.75gr pellets around 720fps for around 50fpe with the reg at 150bar. This is how it came stock. I may turn the power down some as most of my shots will be <50yards and it's devastating these critters. The huma mod40 does a great job quieting it down on par with my donnyfl shogun but a 1-2 inches shorter. My dad and I have a pair of edgun leshiy classics that we love dearly but another mordax may be in my dad's future.
