Thanks guys. I was aiming for the head on the woodchuck, but as I said, I had to aim low to adjust for my 100 yard zero. The rifle is now zeroed at 50 yards. I saw the shot to the neck through the scope. Blood splashed. Surprised when my son said he was back. But a second adjustment and I hit the head. Still, by the time I got to him and he died must have been at least 2 minutes.
Squirrel, I was squeamish about such a close head shot and I didn't think it was necessary so close. The last shot to hit head I just pressed the barrel of the rifle to his head and popped him. Guess I figured a .22 would do more. Of course, I wasn't shooting hunting ammo.
But I really like the Quiets. No louder than a .22 short, but I can use them easier in a rifle. Don't have to load one at a time like the shorts.
Next time, the head will be the target.
