Went out this morning for a bit with my daughter for some quail hunting up in the high desert. I took my Beeman R9 (.20 caliber) and JSP Exacts. The wind was howling most places around there, but it wasn't so bad in our spot.We kicked up literally 100's of quail, but shooting was very tough as they did not want to stay still for long. After a while I figured out the ticket. Sneak up on them, take what shots you can, but split the covey. After I did that, the two halves would call to eachother and try to meet up in the middle, where we were setup for an ambush.It seemed to work out okay and I ended up with 5 after 2 hours of hunting. It's not that I took alot of shots and missed, they were just out of range. I tried for head/neck/shoulder shots on everything and this seemed to work. Check out the perfect breasts below!! No holes!!Eric A. Mayer

That's the way to go Eric. Man those skinned breasts look great, and look ma no holes! Next time just take some grass seed and sneak over to Cliff's house and shoot, I mean feed his. :lol:You've got to love those JSB pellets. Nothing flies like them from our Beeman's.

Hey Nacho,My daughter is 9yo and loves to get out into the outdoors. Now granted, there are times when she gets bored, but she normally finds something to keep her busy. I have discussed with her the chance of getting a Beeman R7 (mini-version of my R9) if she can show responsibility with her current Daisy BB Gun over the next year.She was 100% safe last Saturday, so I know she's working towards the gun!
