9422 firefight!

Post by Nath »

Found five squirrel having a merry get together on boxing day, squirrel get togethers are illegal in my wood !

Number five slipped away in the confusion but I'll be looking out for him :wink:

Ammo used was an odd box of CCI standard vel I had in, solids. They did ok, once again no zero change !
I had six squirrel in the end that day and something quite rare, check my other post for that (when I write it).

That last one might be safe...it is hard to have a squirrel get-to-gether with less than two of 'em.

Nath,

I'm pretty sure that 5th one wouldn't have got away if you were using a Marlin 39A!!! Just kidding!

That is excellent shooting to get them with standard velocity solids!! Pretty much all head shots?

Great picture! I showed my 4 yr old boy and he right away wanted to know the "doggies name".

No GEOFF, no head shots. I just centred them, no time for trick shots on a mean posse like thems. I did get dirty with one that was only showing his hip to me, that showed him for a better following shot.
You know what black powder 22 ammo I'm sure would of made even more fun of it :lol:

Tia had fun retrieving them, espeicially the one that chose to hang of her ear!
