Title: Raptor's First Blood...
Post by: Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) on February 07, 2020, 08:41:58 PM
It didn't take long!  Just got it yesterday, sighted it in this afternoon and got it's first rat this evening!  I think the pellet actually clipped the fence, but still got him!  I was aiming center mass but took off the top of his head...  There was also a loud ricochet sound when I fired...  Not the best shot, but it's a rat kill and I'll take it!

The video quality isn't that great because it was getting dark and the swas taken with the 3-14X Scope not the 5-20X I have been using on the Crown...

Way to go Paul you wasted no time in getting that Raptor blooded. All the rats in the hood are going to be dying to see your new Raptor... you’ll have to oblige them.

Great shot, you put a case of whip Azz on that rat.........
What you need is a lay down fence section, a couple of hinges and a long wire and you can lay down the fence,
shoot until you run out of targets or ammo, pull on the wire and the fence rises to the correct location,
to keep your Bear Dog in etc............... we don't want any injured Yogi and friends Bears................LOL   ;)

Nice one Paul,

That is a nice dead rat. I am so looking  forward  to go shoot my raptor this weekend,  I might be able to put some lead on some starlings too.
Enjoy your sleeping  pill dispenser ;)
