TheYorkshireHunter 2 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 after a days shooting and not getting one single thing!!!! a friend and i were walking home and noticed 2 mallards on the marshland, so i pulled my Ligtning XL out of the bag. scoped up, headshot. the duck went down, but i swear to god the f**king thing took 9 shots to the head point blank with my friends HW77k thats well over the legal limit. needless to say, i really think that shooting ducks with air rifles is very bad practice, and i learned from my mistake.

fry 209 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 i have lost interest in shootin em to be fair got plenty of rabbit permissions, and the mallards on my allotment are so tame you could kill one with a stick so it seems a bit un sporting to shoot em even in season. which i know aint now. but i still reckon one shot in the head would kill one dead Quote Link to post

But to shoot male mallard in april is against the law Quote Link to post
