My Ruthless Pathfinder XR

[Luis Leon]

My first kill of the day was at 60 yards off the hood of my truck at the trees pictured in the background… I then moved into the building and shot off a rail from 50 yards away. I was murdering them, yes I missed, wind calls, little branches in the way, etc. But I managed to bag thrice the pictured amount. As you can see from one picture the cover was tight and dirty. The sparrow I took inside the hoop house at 25 yards. My most incredible shot of the day was at a range finder measured 111 yards. I thought what the heck, conditions were calms and the grackle was at the very tip of the leafless tree. 10 MILS of holdover and down it went. I still can’t believe it happened. And am not saying I could do it again. But it happened and I decided to cap the day with that shot. All kills and misses, sending CPHPs… The landowner informed me that there is a fox preying on the chickens and asked if I would have a go at it. So tomorrow I will pull out the Ghost and send some H&N 23 grain HP slugs at 25 yards and set her up for some night foxing duty…

Good shooting, amazing what can be done with minimal wind, nice calm day here today as well. I have so far been unable to replicate my 98 yard shot with my Ghost and Mrds....with a 14.3gr pellet? Impressive!

I definitely understand that the stars were aligned for the shot, and it would be a miracle to replicate. But the confidence level was high, given how the Pathfinder was on a plinking hot streak. She was doing so well in my backyard range, that even the misses are kills on small pests. That said, the majority of todays’ kills were sub 60 yards.
