Recommended Posts

hi all,

were have you guys had most success in shooting a pigeon i mean i normally try to go for the head but they just keep moving it, i haven't really tryed the breast, iv'e also heard that were the neck joins the body is a good place.

Please leave your coments for were you try to shoot the flying rats and how much success have you had?

don't even bother with the breast mate or the crop area, just end up with a injured bird flying off. Depends on the situation view, head or from the back in between where the wings meet , the upside down v if you like, or if from below straight up the back passage....these always work for me...good solid killing points

Depends where you're shooting them we do a fair bit of feral clearance in farmyard buildings at night with the lamp. At the ranges we shoot at, a chest shot with a pointed pellet from 15-20 yards away does the trick. Not only does it give you quicker target acquisition, it also gives you more room for error, as you'd soon lose your permission by turning the farmers shed roofs into something that resembles a piece of Swiss cheese! :hunter::laugh::thumbs:

i allways go for the neck or back, pigeons heads move far to much, and since seeing someone shoot a ferals beak off and the bird flew away :thumbdown: , i dont go for the headshot, its not really just a clear case of "hit or miss". if you know where to shoot them in the body theres no need for a headshot. back, neck or up the pooper :tongue2:
