One shot, one kill

[maxtrouble]

I usually have my HW30, HW50 or LP400 ready to go. I have a limited area around the feeder that I can safely shoot at. Starlings and HOSPs still think it's a safe feeder. It's close, 20 to 30 yards and a few trees I can shoot them out of. Doesn't take much at that distance and I don't want to shoot into my neighbors yard. I leave peanuts in front of my gallery and squirrels will occasionally oblige me with a perfect shot.

For me it's the Edgun Leshiy 2 in .22", firing Crosman pellets. Usually with a 3x 640x480 thermal scope on it, but I'm experimenting with a hybrid thermal red dot. Most of my pesting is at night.

My shots are usually 20 yards or less. The longest shot possible in my yard is about 30 yards, but unless I'm plinking I never have a reason to take that shot.
