Gusting winds 5-15mph, high in the tree tops I hear the weak whistle call of a starling, it's a 40y shot, THWACK! Then, closer, but almost straight up I see a group. I didn't aim low enough on the first shot but the Tanto worked so well that they heard nothing and I got a second shot that connected, nice! The 12.5gr NSA (@ 880fps) really works well in the Vectis and makes shooting on a windy day so much easier. These were my first starlings of the year, but they won't be my last. I have still, after years, done nothing to this gun, and it keeps on working great.
