After a light lunch, I took my air pistols outside and shot some coke cans. First with the Schofield, next with the Peacemaker and finished with the Crosman 357. I don't know, maybe it's the newness, but I enjoy pushing a can further away with succeeding shots until it gets too far away for me to hit it. After 20-30 shots with each handgun, my fingers got too cold to load the tiny BB's and pellets and I went back in the trailer and resumed reading. What did y'all do?

Three more red squirrels with the Stormrider. Then when I got back to the house I tried to check my zero with the three shots left, and couldn't even figure out where I hit! All three squirrels were hit where I was aiming, so I'm guessing I bumped the scope or barrel while walking back. I've been trying to save money lately, but I may splurge a bit for some CF tube to keep the POI from wandering on the 'Rider. While on my walk I realized why sometimes I miss squirrels entirely even with my Eagle Claw which never shifts POI. Sometimes I'm hitting twigs and brush that don't appear to be in the way of the squirrel. This morning I finally connected the twang I hear on half of my misses is the sound of the pellet hitting something and going off course. The other half of my misses are just due to the challenge of hitting a squirrel off hand in the woods.

I’m blaming foliage and twigs too! LOL! I set out this morning to bag a white squirrel I spotted yesterday at my favorite hunting place. No joy. . At least not for me. The squirrel is probably happy. I ignored several gray squirrels hoping the white one would show up again. Eventually, one particularly annoying gray female perched on a branch just twenty yards away and hollered at me.That was enough. Out in our chest freezer is a big box of frozen fish.Tonight she sleeps with the fishes.

We have Leusistic or Amelanistic white squirrels here. They aren’t albinos but the strain that lives here is not always completely white. The one I spotted Wednesday has a faint dark streak down it’s back. It’s a recessive trait but its endemic in the local gray squirrel population so even two gray squirrels can have white young.
