30-6 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 What is the aim point and range for the geese with a 17 hmr ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbrierley Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 What is the aim point and range for the geese with a 17 hmr ? all depends on the situation no wind or very little chest shot does the trick 100 yards( big target ) if back towards you smack between wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 sounds like a good day to me,could you head shoot the geese if no wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 sounds like a good day to me,could you head shoot the geese if no wind Probably is possible, but a small target that doesnt stay still for long. Ive always found the base of the neck and chest the place to go for when facing and as said between wings from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
