First Blood for my Benjamin Marauder (PRod) These two rats moved into the chicken run. 14.9 Grn .22 cal pellets. 660 FPS and 14.5 Foot Pounds of Energy (FPE) bait pile is 6 yards from shooting position, I set up a Harbor Fright Driveway alarm next to a bait pile of chopped up french fry’s. The alarm is similar to the doorbell when you walk into a convenience store. The first rat, a female came out at 8:50 last night. Drop it on the spot. Then sound asleep 12:20 am. The “driveway alarm” goes off. I jump from bed and go check the bait pile with my sightmark Ghosthunter night vision. Sure enough another rat. Grab the gun turn on the economy grade scope mount night vision. Put the cross hairs right between the eyes and squeeze the trigger. DRT Shot placement - Spoiler: show

I have two of those sensors in my driveway and yard myself, but to keep the 2 legged critters in check.
BTW, nice shootin'!

It is kind of eye opening at times when you see something being sold for 20 bucks here then find it there for the 1-2 bucks it actually costs
