cavan shooter

There are quite a few in my neck of the woods (east cavan), When I had the 22lr they were always on the cards using sub sonics. Since I got the magnum, I dont go after them with a rifle but the shotgun is another story.

No 1 cartridge BBs for the drays, then 32grm 6 for whats left as they run for cover. Tufty tends to run like mad.

Last year I had 2 squirrels (greys) knocking around the garden, they are fun to watch, the kids and the wife thought they were very cute, the way they would swing out of the bird feeder etc etc.

In fact my wife mentioned that she hadn't seen the two squirrels in quite a while.......

o says I, they probabally moved on................;) :D

they were huge the size of donkeys i was using an anti aircraft gun and they were wearing mexican hats and waving 6 shooters,
but i sorted them out ;)
i swear on that or i may be struck dead were im sit..................................................

rite dat story may be a bit from the truth



they were in trees i was using a semi shooting 32 gram no4 no pics im afraid
but one was hopping from 1 branch to the other he never touched it in fact he went back a bit and droped.

the others well they were sitting there looking stupid on the same branch nd they got nailed also,wasnt much sport with a shotgun, but i did it anyway
