  1. not callin him a liar, just sayin i never seen it the only time i'v seen birds duck is when the shot has missed gone over the top . and the hiss of the slug has startled the bird.
  2. hey timelord ..you must have matrix maggies livin near you i'v shot hundreds over the years using a 22 and have never seen one quick enough to avoid my slug.
  3. thats why you should neck any animal shot, snared etc when you pick up (obviously not deer and other large animals as that would be impossible) but i gives piece of mind and stops a stunned one coming round and crawling off , same with shotgunned birds yep i do neck em as a matter of coarse but on the night in question. we were shootin out the car. and the rabbits were picked up by the gun dog [ a young lad we took along to pick up] he just picked em and threw em in the boot. but this aswell as a fair few fly 'n' die pigeons put me off 177. to me it has no real advantage over 22..
  4. where can you get them from? most gun shop's sell the large owl decoy's..
  5. i'v used both calibers. and now for me 22 has better stopping power. i noticed on fur and feather when shot with a 177 you get more fly 'n' die with pigeons ,crows ect and rabbits aswell either run on or can lay there lookin dead, but not be.. i shot a half dozen rabbits one night with a 177 hw80 all head shot's , all picked up and bagged, seemingly dead . got home emptied the bag 2 rabbits were still alive, although they were skull fecked and basically paralised. they were alive and breathing. i think a 22 cause more trauma, more broken bones, and more uuummp . and realy knock's the win
  6. mmmm. i think although 177 has good penetration, they lack knock down power, shock factor, call it what you will.
