Slingshots aren't the way forward. They put out alot of power early on but they quickly drop off to nothing. Certainly not a humane way to deal with vermin.

 

Better off getting a decent spring rifle. It'll cost a little more but it'll do a far better pest control service. Besides you owe it to your quarry.

chris is right.....also you wold have to be a damn good shot to cleanly kill a pigeon with ball beaing to the head at 20 or more yards.....if you can do that time and time again then your laffing, but i think you would get frustrated with misses.....definatly a air rifle over a slingshot in my books...but if you are a good shot youll have no probs :11:

i was that good on the slingshots at the local fair i won the waltzer :whistle: :whistle: , better of buying the rifle more distance and stopping power cheers rob

its still powerfull, used for rats.

you need a rifle really mate. Even a cheap one will be a million time better, quicker and more accurate than a sling shot. Keep the sling shot for trick or treating little kiddies.

Air rifle the best option mate it is not easy with a slingshot well getting a clean kill every time.
