Title: Starling kill - a month in the making!
Post by: CFH on December 08, 2019, 02:31:28 PM

they finally showed up here, been waiting for them.  Sent lots of bbs through my Daisy 35 at 25 yards, I felt like it would be a solid hit, or a complete miss.  My sparrow sized target I have been practicing on, 25 yards with bbs!  Three pumps, 5.1gr - 433 fps, 2.12 fpe at the muzzle.

1 shot, 1 kill, 24 yards.

I have taken starlings and hosp with this gun using pellets in the past, first starling with a bb out of it.
