Trophy* Pic Thread

[superchikn]

Plain ol' pigeon, same as any other.
The trophy is the shot.
80 yds lasered to the top of the silo
Benjamin Maximus hunter shooting as delivered aside from substantial trigger work.
Crosman .22 HP, cleaned and lubed.
Tasco 2.5 - 10 x 42 scope.

One shot one kill non trigger hand rested on top of bollard.
Had never shot the gun over 50 yds so guessed at the dope.

The gun is a tack driver at 30 yds but this was obviously a lucky shot.
I did not blow this particular shot and that is all I will take credit for.

BTW, The shooter in the pic is not me, that's my buddy. He regularly takes birds from that silo with his .25 Taipan vet. I normally use my 22 Akela at that farm.

This past Summer I was sitting at the bench on the back porch shooting groups with my 499B. I noticed a grasshopper came flying in and plopped down about 8yds away. Then another and another, all between 6yds & 8yds.

I lined-up the peep-sight on the head of a grasshopper, made slight elevation correction and squeezed the trigger. I saw the grasshopper flop over and twitch a little! I went to look and realized the Hornady BB had found it's mark and took off the unlucky hopper's head! The next two hoppers met the same fate! I didn't think my shooting friends would believe me so I gathered the bodies and took a pic,

Now that is some impressive peep sight shots!

Nah, it's skill and Kentucky windage that comes with experience.

I got this beast at 20 yards with my 25 cal Fx Impact M3.

He was a savage. One of the most difficult shots of my life. I took a quartering at me. It went through heart and lungs then out the back as can be seen.

Never seen another one quite like it.

Sure is, but he can't shoot worth a ...

My biggest iguana thus far at only 16lbs on the dot. Btw I was not doing the old fisherman fish hold trick, I hate when people do that lol.

First gen .25cal FX crown, common snapping turtle at the local farm.

The single snapping turtle pic was a pretty impressive/ sad shot. First shot was a 150yard head shot, it went over to the edge of the water where I was able to walk right up to it and finish it off. Pics are a couple years old, don't quite recall how the double went down.

I see a little bit of the fisherman hold trick in this photo lol. Either way, it looks like a big iguana to me. How much can they weigh?

It definitely looks like it, lol. The heaviest ive seen abd heard of in florida was 23lbs. Biggest I've seen in Puerto Rico was over 7ft and 34lbs

First kill with the Dawson 25 cal Rapid! Now it was only 20 yards, but a hades to the dome stopped this bunny in its tracks. Have been seeing them eating the bark on my apple tree. Neighbors have been complaining about them as well. Finally spotted two of them in the yard when I got home. I found them both tucked away in a corner of the yard, one spooked and hopped a few feet away, and this one froze. I popped this guy at 20 yards and looked for the other. Figuring he was gone I got up and went over to collect the prize, and of course I heard the other scurry away!

Oh well he will be back.

This is great to see! I'm new at all this and will be getting my first pcp soon. From the available videos I'm impressed with this rifle. Do you have any negatives I should consider?

Shot the first one, the other 2 went nuts and stuck around raising hell, big mistake!

not sure, I know to tell the difference look at the beak, but really dont know. They were full grown adults for sure. Felt bad afterwards, but it's very rare for me to see them and actually shoot one.
