I caught this guy sneaking around behind my shop. At 50 yards I put a .30 Hades 44.75 grain in his left eye. He went straight down!

Tastes like chicken?? I also caught a groundhog out of his house today. He didn't look nearly as healthy as yours as I think he was pretty old. I walked around the shed and there he was 20 meters away. He gave me the offhand shot, I took it, now he's in groundhog heaven.
Taipan Veteran .22 "Sniper", FX Hybrid slug right below the ear...it was a bloody scene!

This was the offside that was a little less gruesome. I didn't see an exit hole so I don't think it passed through....not sure though.

Zack, fantastic shot on that big ole ghog with your GORGEOUS RAW! Nice pics. Looks great with the unf 1/2 20 plus LDC, Gray OPS Arca Rail & red lava Magpul stock & grip!

Central Upstate NY here and yeah . . . the chuckies are back! I've yet to nail one ( busy @work and the weather still Jekyl & Hyde'ish ) but . . . I'm hoping to pop my first one soon. @peaceful_ruler - nice on the Taipan. I've gotten LOTS of 'em with mine over the last couple two or three years - .22 long, H&N .217 23g slugs in the low 920's.

I was a little surprised how nice a sleek this one was. A lot of times this time of the year they look a little tough. I’ve shot lots with high powered rifles over the years but this is the first one I’ve shot with an air rifle. I think this is more fun!!!

Great shot (with your awesome Taipan) and photos! Also luv your MAG HOLDERS! I wish someone would 3D print some clip in ones for M-LOK systems and for the RAW Chassis!

Zach ,hello. Nice set up(s) & good shooting ! I'm up to 10 , 2 w/Hatsan Factor & the remainder w/ the FlashPup . The Pup loves the H&N 217, 27.5 gr.s . The Factor was first w/ JSB 15.89 through the shoulders & a few days later Hades took another one down . The Factor just doesn't like any slugs ( yet) that I've tested . It is a bit unwieldy in the field anyway. Keep it up !

I haven’t found any slugs my RAW likes yet but I’ve decided awhile back slugs are too finicky for me. Pellets work and are easier
