She’s been itching to have at it and was tired of hearing Atomic “this”, Atomic “that” and was wanting to “git some”. So we arrived and I setup off the hood of the Subaru and proceeded to take out three sparrows and one starling off the long, low, hoop house roof. I didn’t think I could recover the bodies from but was able to push them down from inside the hoop house. The longest shots off the roof, 54 yard, back to back kills. Shot one sparrow from the hay bale at 50 yards off that silo. The rest of the kills were inside the hoop house from 20 to 40 yards, with the bulk of the kills at 25 yards. I did not recover five bodies and I missed at least three times, mistimed shots, birds flying off as I broke the shot, cosmic interference, etc.
She was wrecking them with the Crosman Premier Hollow Points. I don’t intend to use my Pathfinder XR as my walk about rig. The Atomic XR retains that role. And it would have easily made all the same shots the Pathfinder XR did today. Shots over 60 yards on pests is where the Pathfinder outperforms the Atomic otherwise, sub 50 yards, it’s a tie for me.
