LOL! Yeah that's where I got the idea from really, thought it might be worth trying out, Bit like the Myth-buster program you guys watch on Sky.

As for the pic, I wouldn't have any problem seeing it, Bit like roadkill really and that's everywhere this time of year, Not sure how everyone else feels about it though!?!

Stevie Thumb Up!

Ah your 50 and 75 yard markers look way off and that bunny looks fake. Laughing

Here is the first photo. It is the entrance wound You can see it hit in the upper part of the jaw. The squirrel was above me so the trajectory is upward. I messed up and rushed the shot targeting the middle of the skull not the actual brainpan.

This is the other side of the animal. The pellet is visible just under the skin. It has pierced the the pallet and servered serveral arteries and crushed the lower part of skull.

This animal did not suffer the recovery was measured in inches from the spasms from the CNS dying.

I think you missed it- use the image hosting service that is provided when you are typing a post (the "Add image to post" button)- that way no one really has to see what some might find gorey unless the specifically click on it after seeing the smaller "preview" shot.

Looks like a clean kill to me, hate it when I shoot something and it would have to squirm around enough that it needs a second shot. Thank goodness that doesn't happen to often, hate to see anything suffer for longer than it needs to be.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with the picture...but then I'm and old hunter now, though kind of retired.

It's a toolbox,,Each gun I own prefers it's own brand of pellet, but generally for "plinking", I like to use Crosman Premeirs, and H&N pellets, For field use(hunting), I only use "Skenco" type 1's .22 @11gr,and type 3's in .177, I'll easily take down a rabbit at 40yds+.

skenkos?
how do you like them i've herd they break off in the barrel a lot, funny most of the people i've asked or herd from has not actually used them they just said that they have herd that the skirts break of so it would be nice to here from someone who has actually used them.

How you doin' "Shooter"?, Wink

,It's a shame that people who've never even tried something can give it a bad rep. Skenco's are a very well made lead-free pellet, the Sabot's do not self-destruct in the barrel, Laughing

,and they don't foul the barrel, or leave "stringer's". The only drawback about these pellet's(if you could call it a "drawback"), would be their light weight, at only 11gr. they will tend to drift at anything past 50yds(especially on a windy day), but if you're firing at anything within 40yds, it's going down!,period!
The only thing I can say is,Go out, and buy a container and give them a try, I can honestly say that you won't be dissapointed. Andy.
