daveman Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 I know it shouldn't be tried but have any of you ever downed a bird in flight with an airgun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveman Posted September 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 number 1- that is the first time I've ever heard of a bird being shot in flight with an airgun. Your mate must be a great shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstopper Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 I have seen people take gulls with airguns in mid flight, as they tend to glide in a headwind therefore they appear like they are'nt moving, but still not reccomended as theres a good chance of the shot being place in a not instant vital kill area causing suffering of that bird, so much better to wait until they land with airguns, but if you cant wait can alwaysa get the old s/g out :( James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
