One aspect I wish I could have besides good accuracy is a quick follow-up shot. The first shot often hits and stuns the squirrel - they stay in place momentarily - then they start to move up a tree to get away. By the time I cock the rifle, pull a pellet out of my pocket, insert into the breech, close and look for the next sight picture they can get away or present a very challenging shot. It would be beneficial to have the quick second shot to anchor them so they stay in my yard. My backyard neighbor detests the "rats with tails" and has given me the ok to shoot and recover on his lot but he is the only one. |
