figgy Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) 200 yard Rabbit with a .177 Gat Gun, had to use them special coloured fluffy flighted metal darts,it was stone cold dead with one heads shot. My most memorable shot was with a newish cheap ASI Air rifle with open sights in my early teens inn the eighties on a friends Aunts farm. We were taking turns shooting feral pigeons and rats when we heard ting on the corrugated sheeting and looked outside to see a couple of older lads from a nearby rough estate shooting at us from the other side of the field, my mate had a pot shot at them and never got near. On my turn i shot high thinking it might scare them off,never took a great deal of notice of trajectory and drop back then held way over their heads and squeezed off the shot, heard a yelp and watched as he grabbed his sack and fell to the floor wailing, they both scarpered after that. One shot and one nut with a crappy spanish import at the length of the horses field. Bet he was glad he had denim jeans on. could try a hundred times and never make that shot just pot luck. Whats your best shot or shots. Edited September 5, 2016 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Don't really go for spectacular more for consistency. Which I am between 30 and 45 yards (and of course under that). Can't say I've ever tried anything longer than 45 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASunnyD Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 So far my best shots are taking cans off logs at 50 yards as far as distance, I did spend a good 15 minutes a few weeks ago creeping under trees and bushes covered in mud and sheep ****, cuts and grazes to a tree I knew where the pigeons were resting. Being a ninja pro I managed to get under the tree directly, I picked my pigeon and took the shot through the chest and it dropped like a stone. All that hard work for the hunt felt great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbower Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Two squirrels with one .177 pellet from a12 ft/lb AA S200 both head shot at 8 yds, they were under a bird feeder at my golf club 'perm'. They just lined up one behind the other , but I never imagined the pellet would go through the first one and kill the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
