Very nice story and congrats on the new rifle. Less then 500 fps, you need to keep the shooting distance short when taking critters. You seemingly did a fantastic job. I'm not sure what the bird you shot was, but that is something you might want to check into. I am in the U.S. and laws differ from Canada so I can't say what you should do, but it is always wise to know exactly which species you are taking. Honestly, I learned more about birds that way and now I know exactly which are truly pest birds, which are legal to take and which to simply enjoy having around.

Squirrel are undoubtedly tough little critters! Here we have the Eastern Gray and very hard to kill on one shot. Let me rephrase that! They are very hard to kill instantly on one shot. And let me rephrase that too! It could actually be that they are in fact dead and they don't yet know it? Today I hit one cleanly through the head, in the eye and out the temple of other side, with an 8.4 grain JSB pellet at 30 yards moving at about 650 fps on impact. The gray did 5 back-flips as I reloaded. He then vanished into the thick brush and the dog went to retrieve it, DOA. It was a complete pass-through of the brain but the tough guy wanted to dance anyway! Never needed the second shot after all.

Ever heard that expression, "Run around like a chicken without a head" ? Well, no doubt that a chicken with no head is dead, but it takes him a bit before he admits to it, and who can blame him? So much for the chicken and the Eastern Gray!

Be safe and have fun! Here is a picture of my Beeman R7 and a pest chipmunk.
