Shot the $40 BUG-A-SALT at a fly sitting on some paperwork. Placing it back in shop, looking at a safe full or Airguns then simply SHOOK MY HEAD and walked away

Just in from a mini vacation and SHOT these.....we first drove to a friend's condo in the Sierras, the day after we headed to Yosemite and stayed one night. The close up of El Capitan has a climber well, climbing! The record ascent is one hour fifty eight minutes! It usually takes 4-5 days....oh, my shot making wasn't very good....
...long drive and I am tired.

Hello @rsfrid
Hey no excuse from me, I take full blame for all misses
. The Avenger did what it was asked to do and hit right where I aimed it. I just aimed wrong. I'm so bad at reading the wind I believe that I will stop and just aim at the dead center every time and "que sera sera"

I am not very "up" on the bone structure of a turkey neck , but with a bit o luck you might have got the spine in that one shot ? specially since you were shooting a .22 pellet .Hello everyone,

Hello @beerthief
I believe it was the "Lucky Turkey Day" for that bird. However he is now missing quite a few feathers

Nice shooting @ThomasT , I told you those Avengers are shooters!
I was not shooting for accuracy because I had a few tins of pellets that never shot well in any of my guns so I was just trying to burn it up rapid fire. Crosman copper magnum 14s, HN FTTP Copper and 14 grain Norma Wad Cutters, all shot at 50’ through my Vixen .22 Compact. The top row and a half was shot at 10M first then I moved back to 50’ for the remainder. It was cold and raining outside so it was merely some spur of the moment lead therapy.
