I got to go shooting with an airgunner friend yesterday for a bit. Shot a few 100 yard groups. Mostly checking out his gun / slug combo. Nothing special.
When I got home, I setup my shooting table to shoot a slug (still in the bore) at a Ground Squirrel at 276 yards on top of the wood piles. Ended up shooting 4 slugs out there. 2 were direct hits.
That's a 50% hit ratio at 275+ yards. That's in a zero wind condition. As I walked back from the wood pile I noticed the wind was still nothing.
So I sat down and shot 2 slugs at a the 275 yard target I have out there. I was going for a 50% hit ratio. I think my gun / slug combo pulled it off, 1.25" Notice the 2 holes I circled from a different day I shot 2 at it in a light wind.
We joked about shooting GS's off the wood pile. Now after eliminating 13 GS pests from the 265- 276 yard mark, it doesn't seem to be a joke anymore.
All I can do is shake my head in amazement by the precision these PCP's are capable of in a no wind condition with the right gun/slug combo.
Mine just happens to be a Hot Rod Cricket .25 Custom build that's performance just continues to surprise me almost daily. I like it's finished look too.
That's why the Kalibrgun Cricket is my favorite PCP.
