[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1205286, member: 90399"] That's a great picture Greyfox! Also, thanks for the suggestion on the 22 CB's. I had a fairly rewarding day today. I set out about a dozen little piles on sun flower seeds on some rocks and stumps at the edge of the yard. The good news... I shot 5 chipmunks today. 4 are confirmed dead. 1 left a heck of a blood trail for a little critter, but did wiggle back into his hole. I'm assuming he isn't going to make it. The bad news... I shot at 6 more that got away with no blood found. As of now I'm still using my son's cheap Daisy air rifle that I was complaining about earlier in the forum post. I have to guess about where the pellet is going to fly because the scope is out of adjustment and is still shooting right (I cannot adjust it any more to the left, it's bottomed out). Well, how much right it's shooting is dependent on exactly how far away your target is. Update: My setup cannot be trusted. I just put it on paper again and now it's high and to the right (with no more adjustment to go down or left). It's funny because these are just critters I'm shooting at. No bragging rights at all. It's not like I'm shooting at a trophy buck. However I still had that same frustrated feeling come over me mid day when I'm questioning if it's my equipment or if it's me doing something wrong.
