the pigeon man Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) If you have permission then no problem Crows are hard to kill with air riffle good 20 yard head shot should do the job fine I shot a few crows at 30 yards head shot with tx200 on a good day Edited May 19, 2013 by the pigeon man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Absolutely with permission and a safe shooting situation. Standard air gun ranges and head shots as far as I'm concerned, so 35 yards max unless you are particularly experienced and just that you are asking the question would suggest otherwise.

Maidment78 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Is it safe? The comment where I work makes me a little worried, if you are in a safe place, good back drop, no neighbours or at least ones that understand shooting then sure. I would be really careful though, with permission means you can but would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiedenny Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 as all above really, with permission then yes but the decision of "is it safe" including not allowing any pellets to fall onto land not owned by the place you are shooting is completely on your shoulders. I do it about once a month at my office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackinbox99 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 There are no end of squirrels, magpies & pigeons where I work, but unfortunately due to the layout of the offices, it would be impossible for me to know where the pellets will end up, so I cant shoot them. If you have permission, any decent air rifle should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
