Very nice! LOL Lots of great shots. I know it is a little morbid, but there's nothing like a good head shot!

STARLINGS ! Are you kidding me. That's why I'm shooting the squirrels. They are getting into my starling feeder and eating the food. Bwahahaha-had you going there didn't I.

Me too! I spent all weekend plinking chipmunks around my property (5+ acres). I had a bad infestation, probably 500+ as of two years ago. I have drilled them down to probably around 200 left. They had been destroying my yard and landscape. Prior to this year, I have been taking care of crowd control with several spring rifles. Good but not great. Now, with the Bobcat MKII .25, it is a whole new ball game. I blasted ~50 this weekend alone! Hard, humane kills also. Whacking Chippy in the head at 70 yards is a great feeling!

frambonian- I'm envious of your FX. I'm hoping to add one to my arsenal, but still debating Bobcat MKII, wildcat or impact in .25. Shopping for one is almost as fun as shooting them!

I'm using an inexpensive $29 solomark deluxe click stop from amazon. I picked it because it came with the cell phone adapter. I've bought some parts to make my design that will work better with a casio that I have, but I'm busy carving a new stock for the benjamin so I haven't gotten to it yet. Here is a picture of my temporary set-up. I just couldn't wait to get started.

Thanks, plinker! I've been looking for an inexpensive setup so I could see what my pellets were doing in flight!

This is the stock I'm working on. I ordered a raw boyd's blaster and I've almost finished carving out the inside for the gun, then I'll get working on a finish for the outside.

I too love a good headshot ! Nice job plinker, I am pretty new to this as well and haven't learned to do much video editing. I get the slow-mo but no sound. Here is a nice headshot with the .25 marauder.

A few more added, including the pellet free pass that was handed out. Hope you like the collection.

I am a dedicated tree rat blaster out of need. I bought my home 13 years ago and the squirrels were out of control here. I had nails sticking an inch out in the air where wood used to be years back. Problem was that I live in a pecan orchard where there is a feast for four or five months then the nuts run out and the rats get very territorial. They mark any lump or corner (like the wood trim on my house) by chewing the previous scent mark away and applying their own mark, and repeat. I put an end to that with my trusty RWS 34 in 22 to the account of over 700 in ten years. Then I came across this Edgun fellow with pcp air guns and the rest is history as they say. Now my neighbors have no squirrel problems.

Dan25- History repeats itself ! I have a similar situation. War was declared when they began chewing on our vehicles. There seems to be an endless onslaught of furry volunteers. So far only one has been able to report back. That darn #97.
