Posted a short video of a pigeon/dove shoot with my buddy Scott earlier in the year. Trying to embed this, we'll see how it goes!
Eurasian Collared doves and pigeons get hit!!

There is no need to "embed" it. Just copy the address from your browser & paste it here. AGN software will do the rest. I fixed it for you.

Great video!
Thanks for posting. One question I have is in the video you mention aiming low on the target when steep shots ? Can you explain how this is more effective than aiming in the middle of target ? I'm trying to learn all the techniques to be more successful in taking my shots. I also hunt feedlots and dairy farms. Sometimes the birds are roosting up high on grain conveyors and silos.
thanks

Nice hunt Jim! I noticed that your scope does not have a mildot reticle. I always considered that a must for an air rifle, can you explain the thought behind not having it and how that works for you, especially on those long shots?
Thanks!
ps, I love your YouTube channel as well. I truly enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from you.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Suppose you’re tossing a rock underhand at a waist level target 15 yards away. It's intuitive that you need to toss it a bit high so the resulting arc allows it to descend and hit the target. Say however, that the target is still 15 yards away by ground distance, but now it’s twenty feet up in a tree. The same arc above your line-of-sight that allowed the rock to hit the target at ground level will now cause it to pass over the higher target – the ground distance is still 15 yards, but if you use the same arc you’ll go right over the top of it. [/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]It’s the fact that zeroing your rifle over flat ground creates one arc, while shooting up or down requires a slightly different arc.
Most of the scopes I use have a reference reticle (mildot, MAP, etc).... for my scope cam I just grabbed something compact. but in the past I shot a lot with guns with a simple croshair, and just shot at a rock or something else at range to suss out the POI..... mildots are better

Great vid. Will look u up on youtube. Agree with the body shots v head with that infestation. My dog helps a great deal by retreiving the fallen for me to dispatch, as you have more chance of the bird still being alive with a body shot
