Been Jamming
I popped my first squirrel with my new Benjamin 1000. This is one sweet pellet gun, with fiber optic sights, and an adjustable trigger.
I think for this line of work, I prefer the .177 to the .22 caliber pellet. More velocity, greater range. Anyway, I slid a hollow point in the chamber, drew a bead, and popped his ass from about 45 yards.
This is the first time I've killed anything, except a flowerpot, with a hollow point pellet, and I'm impressed. I suspect there will be no need for any "second" mercy shots this season.
The count sheet is on the wall.

How about saying pull as in skeet shooting...

.. rock on, Sam... squirrels can never be too dead...
If you run out of targets, I have plenty of the little bastards trying to sneak into my attic... ; )
Had the same problem. Wifey planted a couple hundred bulbs and the tree rats dug all of them up but a handful.
I procured a Gamo Silver Shadow (1000 fps) and have been shooting .177 Dynamil Super H Points. I quit counting at around 93. There have been days I have killed 3 or 4 in the space of 5 or 10 minutes. I kid you not. The top of the fence in the backyard looked like something out of a horror film at times.
Went to plant some tomatoes this weekend and dug up pieces of half a dozen skulls from a forgotten mass grave.
Kill em all.
