Multiple kills today at the dairy...

Last week before Thanksgiving I had a frustrating time at the dairy... I had three misses on rats, before I corrected my mistake. And ended up with one lone kill out of a possible 4. This particular rat was taken at 40 yards.

Today I arrived and there were over 100 pigeons on the roof ridge line circled in yellow. I should’ve taken a picture of the birds, but wanted to get to shooting. Took pigeon #1 at 60 yards off the roof, shot pigeon #2 at 65 yards in the field on the ground and pigeon #3 at 50 yards on the ground. These three kills were witnessed by the dairy owner. The pigeon in the photo was my best shot of the day at 77 yards, (Shooting position circled in red) it was a lights out kill.

My first rat of the day was a forty yard headshot on the fatty at the top. The second rat was shot at twenty yards while facing me. I had it lined up for the kill but was interrupted by the owner passing through. So, I tagged a few sparrows and had the Raptor circled in red take one for a snack. Then came back and bagged that second rat. The third rat was shot at twenty five yards and the fourth rat was shot at forty yards. All in all the Bantam Sniper HR was outstanding, sending 18 JSB Exacts with deadly precision. I am loving the Athlon Helos reticle for clear kill shots on small critters.

Great shooting! It looks COLD up there!! How well do you like that Brocock?

It’s my second that’s how much I like it. Have been shooting the Compatto for almost two years, before buying the Sniper. Both guns are more accurate than I can shoot. The Compatto has taken hundreds of pests without a single hiccup. They just don’t get the press and most shooters seem to prefer side levers.
 
@ranchibi, the Brococks are easy to shoot accurately as you know from personal experience, it was a day of high confidence. @Socaloldman, after thousands of pellets my Compatto’s bolt action is very smooth. @Papy_Yosh, some rats at this dairy come out during the day. I have been back at night thinking there would lots of them but have not had the same luck. It was a good day and I’m getting more familiar with the gun and scope. Thank you gentlemen for your replies.

In this image you see the blue water dispenser and a small lump to its left (the 25 yard rat). At the end of this corridor the small area at the bottom of the doorway is where most of my 40 yard kills occur. All these shots are in poor light, illuminated reticle a big plus.
