You guys are likely the only one's who'll get this.
The 22XX is to Crosman as the old e30 (325xx) is to BMW.
I was just thinking this as I delivered my second double tap, directly to the starling's skull at 22 yds. I was thinking, it's an old design, very affordable, easy to work on, performs much better than the expense would indicate, good to look at with classic but different lines, and just loads of fun.
BTW, I tested the light shirt theory yesterday (I didn't set my blind up either). I wore a yellow flannel shirt. I opened the window at least 10 times. I went to it more than that but had everything fly off first. I had several missed shots as the birds flew off just as I was pulling the trigger. I also had 3 fly-offs. Every bird I hit ran and required a double if not a triple tap. I only recovered 3 on the day. This morning, I'm wearing black. I'm two for two. The double-taps were just perfunctory. I hit one and he ran 4 steps and fell over. I hit another and he just flipped onto his back.
No question, wear dark colors when window sniping.

When hunting zombie starlings, there are two approaches. The first approach is the "Double-Tap". The alternative is cutting their heads off and putting toothpicks through their hearts.
It's your choice.
