FX Impact 11- Squirrels 0

This is one of the earliest impacts to reach the US is this one. For many years, it has operated flawlessly with no leaks or problems. However, a few years ago, I installed a power plenum to improve performance. Regrettably, it was the last time the impact behaved strangely, losing power, changing velocity, and beginning to leak. I'm too spoilt by my other guns, so I never tried to fix it.
I made the decision to take it out of the rifle case and give her some TLC about a month ago. I ordered a few more components for aesthetics and power, disassembled the entire rifle, and cleaned it thoroughly from the inside out. She is still performing as powerfully as she did on the first day.
It's just more attractive and strong now! I have NSA 29.5 g configured to fire at 950 fps. If you don't think she's hitting hard, ask the eleven squirrels she destroyed a few days ago.

it's a lovely place to shoot, sadly, it wasn't as green as it was when I visited before. It's drying out everywhere in California once more! However, the community of squirrels was there.

I took some pics of the trip, most of which were taken between 63 and 150 yards, but I was too lazy to get the majority of them.



At 82 yards, the first one sat at the base of the boulders.

Here's a closer look at the squirrel.

I saw a second one poking its head out as soon as I shot the first one, and although the squirrel thought it was very stealthy, but the glass on my Impact confirmed its presence. I loaded it again and this time, it hit its mark—they make a nice, satisfying thagg sound when they hit!

At the nearer tree on the left was where the squirrel was.

A closer look of his position. Can you see it?

I shot a few more, some of them were runners, man I don’t know how this critters are so tough!

I shot this young one @91 yards. I normally don’t shoot the small ones but this one was annoying me, alerting the community of my presence. The Impact put the smack down on it!

This one was the longest shot of the day
123yards, it was sunbathing on one of the small boulders all the way in back.

This zombie squirrel almost made to the hole!

I few more shots of the place, very peaceful and enjoyable area, especially been away from the city!

This Impact is one of the first ones to arrive in the us, never had any issues for many years, no leaks, nothing but a couple years ago i decided to install a power plenum to help with performance but unfortunately after that, the Impact stated acting up, it lost power and changed velocity, it also started to leak. I never tried to fix bc my other guns got me spoiled.
About a month ago I’ve decide to get it out the rifle case and give her some TLC, I disassembled the entire gun and gave it a good inside-out cleaning, replaced all the o-rings and bought a few extra accessories for looks and power, now she is performing like day one, it’s just more powerful and pretty! I set it up to shoot NSA 29.5 g @ 950 fps . She is hitting hard, if not ask the 11 squirrels she blasted a few days ago.

This time I went to a place that I haven been in a while, it’s a nice area to shoot, but unfortunately it wasn’t as green as it was last time I went, everywhere in Cali is getting dry again! but the squirrel community was present.
I was too lazy to retrieve most of them but I got some pics of the outing, most of the shots were between 63-125 yards.

The first one was seating at the bottom of the boulders @ 82 yards

As soon as I shot the first one, I noticed a second picking his head out, very stealthy it thought, but the glass on my Impact confirmed its presence, I went and reloaded another NSA and it found its target, a nice thaggg sound they make at impact!
The squirrel was at the closer tree on the left
