mhopton 807 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Chest shots are a no no mate they like hamsters they keep all there food in the there chest also known as the crop! Think of it this way try shooting a rabbit through a beanbag at 50 yards ? Just be brave and head shot all and every time like its been said you hit it's dead you miss you miss atb mark Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,550 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 On a still day with a good quality rifle in 177 cal. (just my opinion) - head shots. If a pigeon presents a side on shot 1/2 " below the top of the shoulder will send the pellet straight through heart/lungs. atb Quote Link to post
Hunter 001 11 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I prefer head or upper neck See my video below. Also if you have a look at my channel you can see other clips which will show clean kill. http://youtu.be/9ATKIFYfGFE 3 Quote Link to post

panda32 0 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have kills like that, if they have been feeding then all you are doing is hitting the crop. Quote Link to post
ghillies 209 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) wait untill you drop one with a full crop at sunset, they fall like bricks and the chest bursts out what ever theyve gorged on..makes yu realise. spring time is like 1 woody one plant...2 woodies 2 plants..100 woodies 100 plants........thats every day btw!

Craig Fosse 286 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looking forward to Wednesday then, gonna hit them early out a window of a barn, I will let u know how I get on Quote Link to post
brucemyster 75 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I never realise how full a pigeon crop could be till I started shooting pigeons coming into roost with a shotgun, it would easily fill your hand to overflowing with whatever they'd been eating and remember that's all compressed, since then I've always gone for the head/neck when shooting with an air rifle.
