ChrisJones 7,975 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Try leaving the window open, overnight, or get up earlier... Quote Link to post
celticwar 1 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 leave your window open that way when there . there they wont be spooked ... leave curtains nearly shut to so theres just a gap to fire from Quote Link to post
Scuzy 1 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) Keep your head down or eyes closed and SLOWLY open the window if leaving it open is not an option . Oh and load the gun before opening the window . ATB, Luke. Edited May 18, 2008 by Scuzy Quote Link to post

As others have said, leave window open and draw curtains leaving a gap. Shoot from inside the room through the gap. It helps quieten the shot. I'm inner city (but shoot on farms) and deploy this tactic with white marbles in a home made birds nest on the back lawn for magpies off the adjacent allotment. Also I use chicken eggs in a home made nest. The shots are muffled from being inside the property (Portland Jon silencer) and the pellets from upstais window go into the lawn so no stray fliers. Have to wait until her indoors goes out otherwise i'm in deep doodoo. Regards Quote Link to post
