The Shootist Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Whilst I think it is fir to say an air rifle maybe capable of despatching a mink, the level of skill will need to be higher than that for despatching rabbits. Would it be fair to say that this is not the thing for novices? I dont think any hunting is for novices with an air rifle. Accuracy is everything. Mink are quite skittery but will often momentarily pause to look. Then is the chance for a well placed head shot. Patience needed for that moment and keep the range sensible 20 ~ 30 yards. There have been a couple of comments about the example refering to trapped mink... The power fall off isnt that great moving out to 20 or 30 yards from close up and would still cleanly kill. If the shooter is accurate enough. If you cant shoot that well leave it alone or use a shottie. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 "If you cant shoot that well leave it alone or use a shottie" I wish that was the case for me. I can hit a 12g cartridge base at 30m with my air rifle, but would have a job to hit a small football at the same range with a shotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
