Pigeons Hit Some, Missed Some

Thanks for sharing. Wind drift shouldn't be too bad at 67 yds...maybe hold on the edge of the bird, windward side. One thing I do quite frequently, when hunting bunnies @ long ranges, is to shoot a spot on a rock or in the snow 10' to one side and use that to see what kinda hold off I may need. Sometimes 3 or 4 mil or up to 24" out @ 80-150 yds. It's surprising that 90% of the time they don't even acknowledge the marking shot and don't move until they're flopping around after the second kill shot. Gotta love airguns, being economical and quiet enough to practice this tactic.

Man that is a lot of pigeons. Good shooting too. 

First time at a new farm is always the best as the birds dont know what is happening yet. But they learn fast. I swear after a while I think they know my truck. Lol

Oh just wanted to add, that out of all the vermin/game I've shot with air guns, pigeons seem to be the most tenacious. I guess the kill zone is very small so they get up and out of there after taking a body shot and the bobbing head shots are tough. These guys take it serious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh7THthI-BM

That's probably the best pigeon shooting video out there. It would be great to shoot with those guys on a day like that!!

I’d be jumpy with other guys swing shot guns around like that. I would have taken turns to be safe. Hard to miss with that many. Looked like big ones
