My nephew is home from the Marines on leave from California right now, so my parents and I took him and his girlfriend fishing to private pond. I however took my Taipan to play with at longer range and check my zero (48 yards by Chairgun optimization for 1" kill zone).
Set up and shot my first group at 48yards and then backed the speed adjust down some to see how group was. the 2nd group seemed to open up some, so I adjusted back to original spot.
48 yards 33.95 JSB 900FPS 3" target.
2nd group at slower velocity(???).
Group at 100 yards after returning velocity to 900FPS.
For some reason it seams that there is one flyer in each 5 shot group.
I am thinking that it made need a little more cleaning, or maybe polishing after slugs caused alot of lead buildup from tight choke, even though I cleaned it pretty well already.
Anyway, after some more groups at 48 yards I felt confident enough to head over the the warehouse that my dad's boss has behind the property. He has been having issues with groundhogs and other critters invading the property and destroying flooring that is stored there. I have been given full permission to remove these pest, and this is one reason I buy my hunting license every year. After about 20 minutes of waiting at the fence line that sits next to the building, which gives me a 38-63 yard shot range, this little one came out from under the building at 46 yards.
He dropped on the spot and was half in and out of the hole. After verifying that pellet passed completely through, he was collected and taken to the field next the the pond to feed the resident Red-tailed Hawke family, so nothing is wasted.
