Ruger air hawk strikes again!

Went to my boss's house after work again and got me another female gray. Biggin too.
Got her with the ole trusty air hawk, about 40 yards. Snuck a crosman destroyer right behind the right shoulder. Heard the thump but thought I missed and hit the tree behind her.

Waited a couple seconds and seen her death kicking in the leaves, but not much movement. I've taken the last 4 squirrels with this same shot placement and 3 all were DRT. None were pass thru shots. The squirrel that ran was a full pass thru vital shot from my 50 fpe 25.

Really starting to dig lower power for these close backyard shots. Getting too old to be hopping fences to go get my tree rat.

Nice shot with using a destroyer pellet, I never new they were worth a hoot in any gun. I have a 177 that hates them, thanks for posting I learned something today also he's a little porker btw
Yep, I hear ya. This is the only gun I've seen like these pellets AND my older brother has one and it also does great with them. I can get 3/4" groups with it at 40 yards with destroyers and I'm not even good with the artillery hold for a springer.

They grow'em big over by my buddy's place. They don't get that lucky over by me lol.
