B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Seen a couple of roosting pigeons up in the woods out the back of my house... I regularly take a few for the ferrets from here... Armed with my headtorch...my catapult and 14mm lead.... I took one...on the second shot.... It fluttered a little...then dropped behind the fence.... I jumped onto the fence to see what the score was and it was stone dead.... Went round and picked it up...straight in the ferret hutch... Distance wise....hmm.. im not sure... maybe 30yards out...25yards up Cheers. VIDEO... Edited November 21, 2013 by B.P.R 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
