Went for the weekend and had some great shooting, the best weather 65 sunny and zero wind. Saturday afternoon drove up to a part of our field we hunt and it had a sage brush line that meet another field and the rats started running back and forth and I knew it was going to be good.

If you look to the right side of the dust cload you can see the blob that was our friend the rat

We have lift off

This could be one of the best look how high the chuncks are they have got to be 15-20 ft in the air. And look at all the little pieces on the upper right corner it was amazing how much damage those .204's will inflict.

Quite simply...SUPERB. I love the action shots of carnage and superior lift / mist action.

I would like to know how you capture the pictures. Do you use a camera or take them off a video camera? Nice launching. What bullet are you using?

It is just a canon Dig camera. I stand behind the shooter count down 321 and they shoot wait about 1-2 seconds and snap. It works on the 100 yards and in , closer the better. I use the Hornady 40 grain v-max
