RossEM Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Out on the rape stubble today, shot a pigeon at about 25 yards, wounded so went to pick it up. Pulled a few feathers off the breast and some shot had only dented the skin?! Was using Fiocchi GFL20 28g. Anyone had this happen before?

pigeon pete Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 my old man taught me years ago and said ,if you shoot at something coming at you the shot can pull out feathers or fur and roll off the game ,i think it depends on the angel of the game and if the shot has loads of feather to get through ,ive also had a m8 shoot a crow in the back @200m with a .223 using Barnes grenades bullets and he seen a big splat and bald patch on the crows back as he flue away ?? and we've been crow shooting and both of us has hit the same crow with both barrels x4 shots and you can see the thing lose feathers on every shot and it still fly's away !!
