So happy holidays from my family to yours.
So I just received my m4 last week and have just shot it a few times and really haven't had the chance to test out my dope chart that I did on element optics ballistic app. So I got to my in-laws today in Arkansas and man I love family but I need to get of house with some trigger time!! So at 133 yards I seen two squirrel doing there tree dance! So I sat up off the of a tree using my arm as a brace and sent a howler 12gr slug and hit on second shot! I couldn't tell the wind from my position but man a head shot ill take it!!

Hell yeah! That's awesome! People doubt it, but the .177 pills are awesome long range!

Nice shooting, you really piled them high! Your M4 there sure isn’t standard either. Pretty interesting air tank skin/cover… like the carbon fiber you used on the shroud too. It’s very unique that’s for sure!

I had few things laying around and threw it on the gun. Trying to keep it safe that way if I get bored I can trade for the next challenge I might seek. I love hunting with .177 its challenging and so dang satisfying when they get smacked so hard with the mini 💊 of death!

No wonder it was a long shot ,, the squirrel was eyeing up that colorful air tank and distancing itself from it !!:p

Very nice! The only reason I haven’t gotten a super nice .177 slug shooter is I didn’t think I could see the splash or it’d carry enough momentum past 100 very well but you just showed it sure can!

I recall shooting a bird off a telephone pole at 110yrds with a 13.43 pellet from an old souped up Maximus with 26” barrel going 900fps+. It left a hole the size of a dime out the back.

One thing .177 shines bright at & that is speed and penetration.
I learned a lot when I started sending relatively low bc pellets & slugs over a chronograph 100-300 yards.
The fun is in learning the drop, wind, calling them.

Yeah a .177 12 grain slug at 133 yards is seriously impressive Addison. Congratulations.
