Well, I had a nice long narrative written as to how I dropped 3 crows with 2 pellets fired this morning - but after taking the time to write it all out and post it, I'd timed out and lost everything!!!
Here's the quick and dirty version: first shot dropped the crow in the lower left of photo at a can't-miss range of about 30 yds. His other two buddies retreated to another tree about 20 yards away. I lined myself up to attempt a 2-for-1 shot on the next two and pulled the trigger. Saw the front crow drop but the one behind him took off to start raising hell. Luckily no other crows came and that guy gave up after a couple of minutes. During the aftermath, I found that I did in fact drop the 3rd crow as well and did pull off a nice 2-for-1 special! I'd counted 3 crows prior to the first shot but apparently there were 4 total and the survivor was hanging out in a tree where I couldn't see him.
This marks the biggest single session haul to date - I usually only get two of them at one time. This also reminds me as to why I prefer the .25 over the .22 and also why I love the Vulcan bullpup (it's simply a killing machine). I have a couple of new-to-me .22 Lelyas that I was tempted to point at these crows but haven't had enough time to learn to be consistent with them yet so I passed. I also remembered that the last crow I shot with my .22 Colibri flew away - but the .25 Vulcan doesn't mess around
Here's the money shot:
