Well yes I’m still hunting in my yard. About every couple months a rat or two tries to move in. I seen this guy last night. Set up for it tonight. Just got it. I first thought it was a bad shot by the way it reacted. It did not drop on the spot. So I went out to see if I could find it. Looks like the pellet entered on the back side the rat was facing away from me when I took the shot. I was relived to see that I actually did kill it. It was about two feet from where I shot it.
I then turned it over and seen that the pellet actually exited the body.
This distance was 20 yards. Shooting JSB Hades .22 cal 15.99 grn pellets at approximately 630 FPS.
And a safety note. Always know what is behind your target! Passthroughs at very common when you are using high power airguns on small pest or game.
Now I’ll just wait for the rest of the evening and see if there are anymore out there.
