PCP for just target shooting or PCP to kill game?

[cross hair]

Just curious with the members here who kills more critters than targets or buys more targets than critters?

My guess is that thousands of targets $$$$, are displaced more than critters! Still....just nothing but fun with super high pressure air. Haven't killed my new targets or any game this week!

I buy paper and ink then print targets then shoot them more than I kill animals and eat them.

Same.

Attached is my favorite. It's a 100 shot target.

Air guns for game and targets... I shoot targets just to zero my air guns then shoot some doves or rabbits

At first, I misread your post and thought you said it was your 100 yard target! LOL! My bad... (chuckle)

Then I printed it out and I like it too! Although I only shoot paper to either site in a scope, check zero or check trajectory, etc.

Then all I do is pest in my backyard and a very small window where I can pest out to nearly 100 yards if the wind cooperates. (smile)

Thanks for the target!

All my best!

Nice target, Thanks. Bill

I quit counting several years ago at 400+ squirrels and chipmunks killed in my backyard.
Shoot paper and reactive targets also.

I’ve bought a significant amount of targets and shot a decent amount of animals. I bought PCPs to hunt with.

Paper, until my 3 guns are sighted in, usually 3 shots each. Then it's ground squirrels, rabbits or whatever pest species happen to show. Shooting Paper, for me, just isn't as exciting or satisfying as 1 shot, one kill varmint schwacking! Gotta love the pest POP! No other sound like that solid hit.

How do you spend your time airgunning?

Let the industry know which type of shooting you like best!

My huntsman is set up for targets. My PP700 177, Notos, and P35 25 cal are set up for critters. But they punch more paper and steel in practice.

 

[jarmstrong]

it is about 50% each paper punch, plink / pest birds,,, I like the AR 5/10 targets here

I only shoot paper or thermal targets to zero scopes, or for periodic re-checks.

After the scopes are as accurate as they can be, it’s only hunting.

That being said, I am starting to get mildly interested in attending a few competitions (as a spectator) like FT or EBR.

I only target shoot with air guns but if I did shoot animals, it would only be with my PCP. I think I owe them that.

About 40+ squirreles on my walnut trees every season, but recycling bags became an expense lately, so paper punching is my favorite as much targets I can print.

 

[JimD]

I've only shot 50 squirrels over the 3 years I've owned PCPs. I've shot a lot more pellets at targets.

Pest control

 

[Vana2]

Plinking, punching paper, pesting and a bit of hunting, in that order.

PCPs (mostly), Springers, MPPs, SSPs, by numbers and usage in the cabinets. All get equal trigger time and mixed duties appropriate to their power (10 meter airguns are supremely accurate on paper ...and chipmunks, quiet as well ).

A 500 count tin of Hades does me for two seasons of pesting and hunting where 250 pellets/slugs is a typical day of plinking and/or target shooting.

The only time I do any target shooting is when calibrating a new sight, or taking my son to the shooting range. My airguns' primary purpose is killing the little critters.
