3 GUN Ground Squirrel Hunt

Finally got a break in the weather and wanted to take advantage of it.  I've been testing a new gun and this would be a perfect chance to carry it afield on a shoot.  More on that gun though at a later date.  The guns were:  Dave G.-RAVEN .177, a Logun Solo .20 and a Rapid .25.  I would spend the first half of my hunting day sighting-in.  The Raven produced 2 different .660" and .700" CTC groups using the JSB Heavies.  The Solo .20 produced two .5" plus CTC groups.  The Rapid came in making a .393" CTC 5-shot group.

Rapid .25 cal:

Sighting in my Rapid .25 cal:

After the sight-in, it was time to hunt.  My longest shot of the day came from the Rapid 25 and it was a 93 yard head shot.  Nothing more satisfying than making a connecting shot at that distance with an airgun.  I managed to make shots from about 40 yards out to 93 yrds and got roughly a dozen squirrels.
