Not sure if it's the new batch of JSB 4.51's or the warmer days but the Ultimate Sporter is now bang on. The pellets are hitting
where I'm aiming, no flyers or wandering. Here's 5 shots at 40 yds, hope it's not another false dawn as I've just forked out £70
quid on 5 tins.

Resting on a bag of sand, but this pair earlier on today were about 35 yards up in the trees, 45 degree angle and using a
tree nearby to stabilise the shot. They seem to be moving back into my patch now to fill the void left by the demise of
200 of their comrades last year. Not many though just ones and twos. On the plus side, the garden and woods beyond
are absolutely bouncing with wildbirds, the dawn chorus is just spectacular. On the canal yesterday a mallard mother came past
with 11 ducklings, that wouldn't have happened two years ago, the squirrels would have found the nest and even the eggs
not broken into would have been scattered around or in the water.

Todays grey was 40 yds, level shot and the same distance as my test spinners back in the garden, so was able to
exactly place the pellet just behind the eye. Result, instant death and no exit wound as the round was caught under
the skin on the opposite side so it took the full shock of the residual energy left in the pellet after travelling 40 yds.
