Had a great day at the dairy!

Some nice real world testing AirgunBill! Looks like the gel mimics pigeons well.

This is the last test block we played with. Only one fragment made it through the block out of about a dozen shots. It was only going 99fps after the exit. Lol.

Something to think about is even as hard as pigeons and other pests get hit with standard slugs they can still be getting hit twice as hard. 

I look at hunting videos a lot differently after so much testing. And always enjoy them when Bob_O is behind the trigger/cam.

Sorry I didn't end up having time to edit the video last Sunday. This weekend for sure.

Pass throughs are not just for pigeons, happens all the time with ground squirrels too.
