Got a squirrel while zeroing in my rifle
Lochlainn:
Hi Folks,
I was out in the backyard tonight zeroing in my new Benjamin Trail NP and this squirrel came running along about 6 feet from my target. I had just finished zeroing in and he was only about 15 yards away so I took the shot. He dropped instantly with just a few twitches. The pellet entered through the front of the skull and moved back through his vitals and then stopped inside the ribcage. I just finished cleaning him and he is soaking in the refrig overnight in some salt water. :)
And here is a picture of the target I was shooting at. I was sighting in at 14 yards. I think I finally got the thing broken in and the screws tight enough. I will have to check again tomorrow to see if the POI has moved. Been having problems with it moving overnight so hopefully it will be right in the same place tomorrow. The first shot group was in the upper left. There was one flier. Then I just shot single shots for the rest of the target. I might need to adjust the scope down and to the right just a hair. I may do that tomorrow..it was getting dark so I had to pack it up.
