I moved to the Marana Az area 3 years ago and bought my second airgun that i have ever owned. Many yeasr ago i was told that when i reached the age of 12 i would get my first 22 rifle. i was convinced that a pellet gun would be more to my age. I was given a Crosman pump and for several years it was my pride and joy. My father was the bottling manger for a dairy in SoCal and i was paid the shoot ground squirrels. At 16 fishing became a my passion and centerfire guns where number one. Forward to last year and my 4 acres in Avra Valley is running over with little ground squirrels.
I purchased a Crosman Nitro Venom .177 in the summer and started shooting. I could not with the supplied 4x scope hit anything at all. My sons convinced me to set a Simmons 4x on the rifle. Needless to say it broke. In March i bought a cheap Winchester 2x7 and it has been great. I have been using Crosman hollow points and they have been good. We are shooting through a wire fence with 2in opening from the back patio and hitting 2"x6" squirrels. .
I have ordered several new pellets to try out so i will be setting up a 50yd range when i can...At 105 to 108 it tough to get up the energy at 72 to do alot
