First time I've used my DAR22 in probably a year, a fellow member was kind enough to send me a magazine in perfect condition for it. It was probably 1:30 by the time I got out there, I first sighted it in after seven shots, went to the same sitting log where I got the big female yesterday and managed to get a big male 2 trees away from where I got the female yesterday. He was coming down the tree with a nut in his mouth and I shot him in the back. I wasn't able to see him on the ground except for a glimpse of his tail so I sat for about 5 minutes and walked over to where I seen him come down and he was dead when I got there. It was about a 35 yard shot I'd say. After shooting the squirrel I happened to notice a small tree about 40 yards away and there was a tack stuck in it, 3 shots and the tack disappeared on the third shot 8)

I'm glad to see the DAR 22 is back in the game!

Thanks for the great replies everyone !!! James I was elated to get my DAR22 back in action once again, expect to see a tin of pellets arriving for your Liberty soon, I'd send some .25's but I need to cast some more. I do have a little stockpile of the 19.6 grainers right now and that's what I'll be sending 8)

I wish I had some state land nearby.
Gotta love those public spaces.

Thanks Wayne, was no need but I would love to try some of your pellets that I’ve been reading about in your posts.

good shooting on the squirrel and the tack.
i just can't help but wonder if there is a deer hunter out there searching with his flashlight muttering "i know i placed that darn tack on a tree here somewheres"! ;D
