JohnGalway Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hooded crow flying away from me 70 yards dropped with 64 gram BB's :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 a pigeon at about 70 yards out as it was flying away from me, it came out of a hedge right beside me and flew off, i was using a friends 5 shot semi and just started blasting, as daft as this sounds i saw the pigeon drop just as i squeezed the trigger for the 5th shot :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Pigeon as a blurred rocketing dot in the sky. My mate said "Look at that ******" and I swung through with my 20b and it dropped like a stone :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 also sitting having a smoke one day with the benelli sitting on the grass beside me, one of my mates pointed out a pigeon coming in very high and fast right towards us. they were debating whether it was too high or not fora shot, so i picked up the benelli, and (still sitting on my **** with the cigarette in my mouth) fired a single shot, put the safety back on, set the gun down beside me and kept smoking. 2 seconds later i heard a thud from behind me as the pigeon hit the ground. not the most challenging shot ever but certainly my most nonchalant :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Fudd Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 just want to point out the reason myposts are similar to the ones above them is because they reminded me of the shots :unsure: worst shot? it was a version of number 2, standing beside a barn having a smoke (last cigarette in the packet) when i pigeon came overhead. aimed and fired, down dropped the pigeon, but at the same time the cigarette jumped out of my mouth, landed on my cheek then rolled into a puddle full of cow **** :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fo5ter Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I once dropped a rabbit at 40 yards with the air rifle after commando crawling for about 50 yards to get close. The best thing was as soon as it fell, his buddy came out and started munching away next to him! Dropped that one too! You know youre on virgin land when rabbits are actually reasured by onother one laying perfectly still! :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 On my first driven game shoot, the ducks had gone over once at reasonable height and after that they were just circling us at about 70-100m up, 'knowing' they were out of range. I took 2 shots using #3 steel at 4 flying in a diamond and hit the tail-gunner, he dropped like a stone :unsure: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 A shot on a healthy bunny at around ten yards with my S200 air rifle. It really meant a lot to me to get that close to something so smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 George, Get yourself to the pigeon shooting section for some reading matey! loads of tips and tricks, even for those days when there's hardly no wind and you think **** it cant be bothered, its all about knowledge mate, putting the deeks in the right place is the difference between shooting at them, and shooting them. i've been pigeon shooting for nearly 20years and l'm not 30 yet, and still re-watch vids/re-read books for further education!
