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.

Any of the vet 1’s or any of the huben’s on the pcp side. Several springers and rammers also. I guess you need to have whatever you have set up and are comfortable with them.? Or have a shotgun handy lol

My .22 Pathfinder XR for smaller pests, sub 50 yards… just took it out of the safe this morning. First shot at my forty yard spinner.? Hit! But more importantly, where I was aiming. Luckily for them, most small critters get a pass in my backyard…

I only have the one gun but it’s my barra 250z in .25 cal…. In 4 months I’ve taken squirrels, rabbits, doves, a skunk and chipmunks… I have it shooting 31gr Franco slugs at 970fps and the thing never fails me.

Have owned 3 54`s in .177, one of m favorite springers always wanted to get one in .22 but never have.

You will not realize the 54s potential until you add Hevtors tuner, amazing.

Western Sidewinder .22 Compact. Put it on auto and hose them down. LOL

I love that I'm seeing slug shooters in this category.

It’s a really interesting feeling to have a gun so dialed in that it doesn’t feel “sporting” to shoot at some critters. I don’t mind it at all. I’ve even started to use my scope cam to record some of them just frolicking around.

I bought my 250z specifically for slugs and it’s only had one tin of pellets through it… I’ve read some speculation that storing the air around the barrel helps with the harmonics … all I know is the gun is more accurate than me and even completely cold bore it will shoot where I aim it haha…. I love it, couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first real PCP.

Does it count as "one shot, one kill" if I have to dry-fire first to reset my plenum pressure to where I set the regulator?

This one is easy for me and my hunting crew….Uragan 2/3 700mm in either .25 or .30. Most of our hunting ranges from ~100 yards and beyond using slugs. It’s almost boring….almost

You got it all right, quite the thwack at impact and it fell like a stone…

Beautiful. The scope looks really clean too. I’ve been seeing a lot about those Urugans lately and pretty much all of it has been people raving about how much they like it. That’s a great sign.

Have a 2 and a 3. Absolutely stellar, only gripe is the mechanical noise and potentially a ping if you’re unlucky and they missed the depinger. ES of 6 or smaller, SD 1.x on both, crazy accurate with pellets and slugs…

Wildcat MK2 .25. Been grabbing that first for years. What ironic is my wildcat‘s first owner was Marc @rangur1. Go figure.

 

[Buck_Wild]

These AGT’s are accurate on the first shot every time, even when the rifle sits idle for a month or longer. It’s a much better hunting experience than the M3 in that regard.

All I get from my question is "Laughing Idiot" emojicons. I fuCCC'n HATE emojicons -- if you have something to SAY, then SAY it. I'm done for today.
