watchman 256 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Obviously not good enough to take head shots!! Giving airgun hunters a bad name. ok but in my opinion it didnt seem quite as bad as your making out,yes saw him leaning on the tree for some shots that could have been better but to head shot live quarry every single time from standing un-supported is a tall order imo,not sure i have met anyone that has never winged something in their life,as i say not up for an arguement jmo thats all Quote Link to post
millsy44 72 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Theres winging something and then theres purposely aiming for chest and even "belly" he diddnt once attempt a headshot, seems he was just happy with hitting the bird, i must be watching a different vidoe to you as for the "standing" excuse....................Sit on the floor if your finding it hard Not trying to sound "funny" by the way bud, but come on, thats bordering on the cruel side to me. each to their own i guess, everybodys entitled to their oppinion.

Phantom 631 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Obviously not good enough to take head shots!! Giving airgun hunters a bad name. What makes you say that? I only saw one or two that lived more than a second or so. He pulled off some startling shots. Most of which would have produced very good headshots and heart/lung shots Bloody good Marksman if you ask me Phantom 1 Quote Link to post
Guest rexdigger Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Giving airgun hunters a bad name. imo its you giving the airgunners a bad name by bringing that clip to light on this forum as if the antis dont already have enough ammo (pardon the pun) you post that for all to see knowing full well that antis trawl through this site looking for posts like these to use against us :censored: :censored: Quote Link to post

Maybe the title was abit strong lol Quote Link to post

What most people forget WHEN SHOOTING UP A STEEP ANGLE you MUST aim LOW for the pellet to hit where you want to. Yes the guy did take some obviously low shots, like the one where the crosshair was on its arse. but I bet that particular shot took out the birds heart and it was dead before it hit the ground.
