Nice job!
I'm a 2 Raw owner with another on the way and can see how much this type of challenge is. I do the same with 3/8" diameter twigs at 50 yards with favorable success.

One day, when I grow up, I too shall attempt those shots at 50. For now, I must be content with my current situation (3 kids, a job, a wife, and no time to go out and play) “Fiddle music playing in background”

I enjoy your sense of humor. I'm really not trying to brag. I just sold my Harley and have a few disposable bucks available. I'll be looking for a good hunting gun before too long. what brand and model are you shooting now? The RAW's are great shooters but will kill you in the field because of weight. I've been looking at a Wildcat.

Congrats on an awesome shot-especially a first shot! Nice job!
Craig,
My son has a Wildcat Mk II that should be here mid-week, I will keep you posted on how that goes. He should end up loving it, per Ken.

Oh, no worries! I’m all about being funny, learning, and having a good time.
I shoot Kalibrgun Cricket Mini Carbine. It is a fine shooting gun. There may be better guns out there, but I don’t know how to work on them, and refuse to ship them across the CONUS, when an O ring goes out. So, I deal with Charlie Frear from Georgia Airguns. He is 1.25 hr drive from my door. Excellent customer service. Great guns. S’all I can ask for.
From what I understand, the Crickets are easy to work on too. Maybe one day I will have the time and the skills to work on them myself. I may even go for a Wildcat at that time. I’m hoping that they start posting their (FX) promised “How To” videos with E. Rowe soon.

I do understand your position and right now your priorities are properly focused. I'm 60 years old with only me and the old girl at home. By the way i don't hit every time at 50 yds either. Age has a lot to do with that. LOL
Sean,
Please do.

@crgabel, I also have the gun the Intenseaty has, and it’s my go to gun for hunting small game like ground squirrels and rabbits out to 100+ yards. Accurate, light weight, quiet, great trigger, shoulders well, good shot count, 30 FPE. I have an FX, Brocock, Daystate, RAW and FWB. But when I reach for a gun to take in the field or woods for a good time I grab the Cricket Mini, no questions asked...
PS., great shot Christian!

There’s a .22 Cricket mini Carbine listed on AGN classifieds right now. Don’t see used ones for sale very often.

Cool 
What distance and with which gun? Oh, I see; asked & answered! Man, with a .22, that shot had to be perfectly centered. Nothing more challenging than a skinny target and that don't get no skinnier than that!

Wild cats are great guns I have one. I'm going over to the brocock sniper 25 caliber it's about the same weight, has a Huma regulator, externally adjustable. Picatinny rails I think it'll be a better gun

Intenseaty,
Just thinking about your picking process.... if you pick any more you might want to position some foam rubber under the tree as to not bruise the buggers when they drop. ?

Love this idea. I picked between 10 and 40 5gal buckets of apples every fall (press my own cider and make my own applesauce). Dont think air gun picking would be effecient (but probably a lot of fun)

That is awesome. I’d love to make my own Apple Cider. I’d probably be making Vodka!
No, I don’t recommend collecting apples this way at all, LOL. That was just me having fun and showing off a bit. More of a , I know I can pull this off kinda thing. But yeah, that Cricket is wicked accurate inside of 30 yards. Maybe more, I don’t have distance luxury.
