    Looking for some tips, tricks and experience on luring in starlings.

    I haven't had much luck in the summer and fall but in the winter (especially when it snows) suet has worked great for me. It seems to get a lot of them in the area through the spring, too.

    4 Starlings in 25 seconds (maybe less)

    Wow, very nice shooting! Usually when I shoot one and there's others around I might get another shot but they almost always get out of there quickly.

    Should I get a 22. disco or a 22. marauder?

    Well how are you filling it? What's your budget? If you can afford a tank or don't mind more work pumping, if you don't mind a bulkier, heavier gun then go with the Marauder. But if your funds are more constrained and you'd like a lighter, slimmer gun and don't mind a single shot then go with...

    What caliber?

    I have a .177 Disco and it has nearly 100 confirmed squirrel kills so I've been very happy with that caliber's performance. However the .22 has better knockdown power, thus the ability to take out larger animals and better wind resistence but with a loopier trajectory, more expensive ammo cost...

    Well I'm pretty sure that they are illegal to kill, so keep that in mind...correct me if I'm wrong though.

    Newbie disappointed with stock Discovery performance

    Another thing you might want to try sometime is another barrel band. My Disco was accurate from the start (guess I got lucky) but I added another band and I think I gained even a bit more. If nothing else it adds stability so if you hit your barrel on something it shouldn't bend it or anything.

    Headshots vs Heartshots - Let's look at the evidence!

    Great video as always, Matt! In my opinion as far as smallish birds go, if you have a gun that you know will penetrate vitals I would usually take the body shot because of the much larger target, I don't ever try to headshot birds (my hunting guns are around 15 FPE) because not only are their...
