Notos .22
14.35gn JSB Exact @ 757 fps / 18 fpe
Was just cooking a burger and saw a dove drop down into the back yard. Ringneck Doves are invasive species here in Arizona so always fair game. Try to thin them out, they kinda push the native (and smaller doves) around.
Grabbed my newly acquired Notos and cracked the back door open ever so slightly, just enough to squeeze a pellet through and pop, a little appetizer. Caught him right at the bottom of the breast as he was slightly angled away, and pellet went through the lungs and across to the opposite shoulder. Not used to vital shots, almost always take headshots so at first when he started fluttering away I thought it was a bad shot but the shot went where I placed it and he went about 2 feet and that's it, motionless.
Not much breast meat but it's tasty. Cooked it up right away, burgers and dove for a quick meal
Really am liking this little Notos
