Think I'm shooting the same scope on a crown but at 14x the sparrows look like nats to these old eyes and yours look like elephants. Good shooting man. When we get the starlings hanging and bleeding out, wings out we call it a batman hit. You seem to get a lot of starlings hanging around after the shot, we get one shot and they all fly within 40 to 60 yards. Once in a while a two shot and very seldom a three shot in the same group. The pigeons get spooky very quick and have a higher education degree to look around before landing.
