Thanks for all the feedback guys. As a newcomer, it's certianly made me more confident about this forum as I've been on other internet sights where I have been shouted down with the sort of ethical snobbery mentioned in my original post.
Thanks agian for all your views, much appreciated

Wel, 5millimeter can make the difference

Couple days ago I made the perfect headshot with the .177 97k at 15 yards on a woody....

Shot the under part of his beak off, tracked it the whole day long, nothing to find. This morning I made a walk around the field with the dog and found that pigeon roosting with thick feathers and shaking all over in the midlle of a birch. Back home I took the HW90 .25 with a barracuda 31grain and posed under that tree 10 minutes later, it took just a second at 12 feet to turn the woodys light out. Did I feel good after i did that.... absolutly not,

That's great commitment on your part, well done for taking the time to find and dispatch the poor thing.

Now that, is responsible hunting

I like to shoot all my quarry as cleanly as possible. I've seen some shocking things on youtube . people shooting rats anywhere. shots at the back end of the animal. not nice to see them scamper off in agony.
