Mr. Squirrel, meet my new Beeman R1.
Sunday, September 28th, 2008 at 9:44 amLet me set the stage. Friday afternoon, within the first few minutes of shooting my new .22 caliber Beeman R1, a tree rat jumps from the garage apartment onto the pecan tree, otherwise known as Tree Rat Bread and Breakfast.
I thought about taking a 15-20 yard shot, but since I had put less than […]
Georgia gets whipped.
Sunday, September 28th, 2008 at 7:56 amLet’s start by giving all the credit to Alabama. It is obvious they came well prepared, were hungry for a win, and executed their game plan flawlessly.
I cannot think of a game in recent memory where Georgia was so clearly dominated to the point that they looked out classed, out coached, and out played. […]
Beeman R1 does the needful.
Saturday, September 27th, 2008 at 8:06 amMore first impressions. I was surprised by the weight of the R1. My R7 with a Leapers 6×32 Bug Buster 2 scope is less than 7 pounds, and is very easy to cock. I can shoot it all day with no worries. My first session with the R1 made me realize […]
Beeman R1 First Look
Saturday, September 27th, 2008 at 12:00 amMy .22 caliber Beeman R1 arrived this Friday afternoon from the fine folks at Straight Shooters.

Wow! USC is getting bit by some Beavers.
Thursday, September 25th, 2008 at 10:16 pmOK, it is still early, but 14-0 with about 5 minutes to go? You have to be kidding me.
Let’s just say that Oregon St. does not hold on for the upset win. If Georgia takes care of business against Alabama this weekend, will Georgia move back to the top spot, bypassing Oklahoma in the process?
Seriously, […]
Stafford, Moreno, and A.J. Green down Sun Devils.
Sunday, September 21st, 2008 at 7:19 amGood. That one is behind the Dawgs. No more talk about how Arizona St. is good enough to trip up our beloved Georgia Bulldogs. It is hard to imagine to Georgia falling yet again in the polls after Georgia delivered a nice 27-10 good ol’ fashioned woodshed blistering.
Flying through the air with […]
Beeman R7 Pellet Tests
Saturday, September 20th, 2008 at 2:46 pmAfter getting a lot of advice from the gang at the Straight Shooters Forum, I decided to run through my collection of pellets to see which ones my R7 truly enjoys. I think the results show that any “getaway tree rats” are my fault, not the fault of the R7. It seems that […]
Saturday Quickie
Saturday, September 20th, 2008 at 7:31 amBecause we all love a quickie!
No gaming updates. I am sure I will get back into the swing of things eventually. Right now I am enjoying football season, and the weather has been perfect for paper punching and plinking with my Beeman R7. Still waiting for my shiny new Beeman R1 .22 to arrive, but […]
Georgia wins the chicken fight 14-7.
Sunday, September 14th, 2008 at 7:58 amTypical Georgia/South Carolina game. For the sixth time in the past eight years, the game was decided by seven points or less.
Give credit to the fighting chickens; their defense was very good. Or does that mean that the Dawgs offense stumbled?
TE Chandler dropped three very catchable balls.
Moreno rushed for 79 yards on 20 […]
Beeman R7 Shows its True Colors.
Saturday, September 13th, 2008 at 7:00 pmFirst of all, don’t click on the links if you do not want to see some graphic depictions of squirrels meeting their end at the hands of my R7.
Let’s get the technical stuff out of the way. My R7 is .177, and I was shooting with Gamo Master Point pellets (7.87 gr). The […]
Another slow news week.
Saturday, September 13th, 2008 at 6:28 amI thought I would take a few minutes to apologize for the lack of posts. Hey, it happens. Real life (work, family, the good stuffs) always tends to get in the way of a good blog or two.
So where to next? I am not sure why, but I have had absolutely zero […]
Falcons 2008 Season Predictions
Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 6:37 amBefore I head to the game, I thought I would offer up my predictions. I have divided the games into three categories: wins, losses, toss ups (week number).
Wins: Kansas City (3), Oakland (9), Denver (11), St. Louis (17)
Losses: Tampa Bay (2), Carolina (4), Green Bay (5), Chicago (6), Philadelphia (8), San […]
Georgia now twice bitten.
Monday, September 1st, 2008 at 8:21 amFirst, in fall practice, it was LF Trinton Sturdivant. Last week against Georgia Southern, DT Jeff Owens went down, tearing his ACL early in the first quarter. I have already said it several times, in addition to being a great team, you need to have some serious luck, and remain injury free to […]
