Heart/ Lung Shots With .22 Cal V .177 Cal On Wood Pigeons.
rossi_j replied to mark williams's topic in Airgun Hunting
A lot of times things carry themselves away only to fall yards away when the body realises it's already dead, a lung shot will nearly Allways result in this I find. You can see the shot placement on this fox that I had not quite given enough winage..... The ballistic round will have shredded the lungs, this fox flipped and ran 10-20yds then dropped stone dead, a perfect placement will result in them just flopping over like someone turned off a light. Every situation is different. I would just assume the vital organs ie brain and heart were missed and on this occasion the pigeon and a -
Speaking of .177 This nice dog fox fell at a very respectable 150yds on Thursday evening . In total darkness too.... Apart from the Ir that is haha

The row buck was shot on my local estate, during a waked up stalk with the keeper in tow, I know it's not strictly air rifle banter but it seemed in keeping with the direction the thread was taking with regards to kitchens and game. Y.I.S rossi

Good observation lol, yes the wine won't last long on my gaff haha. Some things you can't have in the kitchen no matter how good your mrs may be...... Not until you put some work into them then they are more than happy lol

I run dogs too, so belive me when I say she has had to put up with a lot worse, also wild fowling ... It's allways fun pushing through the hanging geese to make breakfast lol

Cheers Ross, she has better toys than me.... She has been around the world bench rest target shooting, with a box full of medals and trophys to prove it and had more slots on her fac than you can shake a stick at, she's not really into the hunting though, she would have rather stayed at home but the lamp won't shine itself. ?

Local permission that holds a few rabbits that consists of a fair few small paddocks full of horses that is a pain to run the dog in. So I decided to dust off the air rifle a check the zero, was still full of air after 3 or more years (aas410) the zero was still on the button too surprisingly as its moved house twice since then too, anyway went for a little stroll with the Mrs in tow (to hold the lamp) and pulled up to the gate with a rabbit sat in the headlights, fumbling in the dark got the mag in and slotted it between the eyes not a fantastic shot about 30is yards so no hold over, I was a

Thanks Mr Wilkes, do you have any top patterns specifically for shooting with air and getting the birds down ? Any tips would be great. I only have 6 fuds at the moment from a friend and a crow in the freezer.

Is anyone using fud pigeon decoys ? and if so do you get birds actually land in your pattern ? if they get chance that is the reason I ask is, I use a s/s when out with my mates over traditional deeks, but I just want a few decoys that are easy to carry to shoot over with the air rifle from time to time, I usually only raid roosts with the air. regards rossi

Dusted off the air rifle for a little outing the other day and thinking about all the good lads I had met from here a few years ago and was wondering if many were still around.. Davy, chaz, Andy & andy, marksman to name just a few .... Drop by and say hello ?

RIPPER. !!!!! I like the irony, only the other day watched a massive bloke chasing his handbag dog around the park shouting BRUNO ! LOL. me and my mate were in stitches, discretely of course as he was raging mad and would have dropped us with a left and a right. Smokey. Sash.
