What kind of "chickens" are those in the picture?  I used to think my Crossman pump pellet rifle was really something, ahhh... I think not!  Do you shoot the piggies in the head, or do chest shots work?  Really cool, thanks for the pics

Nice shootin!  What kind of air gun are you using? I just might have to get me one. I got ground squirrels in the wood shed that eat my garden every year and I have a gopher pit instead of a front yard. My son is a good shot with the bolt action .22, but we never seem to get them all.

Those Chickens are Peacocks, a bit like Turkey hunting  ;)

Pigs are strickly taken with Headshots, this airguns are so accurate that I could hit a Quater at 50 all the times, some of them a Nickle

I hope your pigs hold still better than ours...  It's almost impossible to consistently head shoot them here because of how much they move around.

I have .22 but my Hunting guns are .25 .357 and .452 ACP, the AR style gun that took that PeaHen is the .452 ACP

Most of my Guns are Korean Made







The .452 is a DAQ, American custom made gun

No, the move around just like yours, you gotta be patient and anticipate the shot, as the put the head down to feed be there already and meet them  ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hey NP, I've always enjoyed your posts on here...curious if you would mind sharing the cost / source of that gorgeous .452 DAQ, American custom made gun?

Cheers!

I'm glad to hear you are making a few bows again Manny.  I love to see your hunting photos, but the bow photos are really what makes me grin!

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
