Thanks Ted!!

So for the last 8 years I have had these annoying little birds that would build there nest in the peak of my pole barn.and every year they would make a mess of my shop door,and driveway ,fly out and startle people walking in and out the door, I always let it go till I could not take it anymore then would shoot them,I always felt bad about killing them for no reason....until I started watching Teds vids and realized what I was shooting was a starling ,after watching this starling scuffling with another larger bird that was sitting on my pole barn I had no trouble putting a.25 jsb right through the middle of him,now I feed them to the fox not the cats but the end result is the same,I have learned a lot about air gunning,hunting,equipment ,etc from his vids and now I don't feel bad for blasting that annoying little bird.Thanks Ted

My vehicles are parked outside and are under constant bombardment by the starlings, grackles and sparrows flying about. 
That was, until I broke out the RWS Model 35 in .177. The short range shots dropped them easily, usually within twenty-five to thirty yards. The survivors soon learned to stay just out of my comfort zone and seemed to mock me! That situation ended when I obtained the RWS 470 TH in .22 with the Hawke Tactical 30 6.5 X 20. I can easily enforce my "NO FLY ZONE" with this set up. The RWS Pro Compact in .177 equipped with an AirForce 4 X 16 X 50 has nearly decapitated a sparrow at 61 yards. That I live in a target rich environment is a given! I wouldn't be enjoying my self if I hadn't come across Teds' videos quite some time ago.
