I’d put a Bait station on the roof with a good back stop. They will stay still for the shot and you can zero in at exactly where you need to hit, no chance of mistake at all.

Would you take this shot

I’d definitely take it especially if you have a good rest. One thing that might happen with a larger caliber could be a pass through that still has a lot of energy and is going in a unpredictable direction. I’d say the .177 is a great choice.

If the backstop is clear, no problem. I take a lot of shots off of roofs like that. Mostly at 55 yards. One roof is a fabric building, can't have any misses there.

I took your advice and put up a feeder. 4” pvc filled with black oil sunflower seed.

I’m going to answer your question with a question... with a set up like that, not only should you take the shot, but why in the world haven’t you been baiting them onto this perfect perch already?!? Lol it looks too good to be true with your bench placement!

fan-freaking-tactic! Now you can dial in your gun, take a few practice shots and wait with 100% confidence!

1st. When in doubt, don't.
2nd. If you know you can make a clean kill, and it is safe to do so... fire away!

if you get tired of shooting squirrels with the air gun, you can always install a squirrel catapult and use the shotgun, Squirrel Skeet anyone..... Pull......

Didn’t take long. Gotone on the feeder.
WOOT! Let's see the kill shot! How did you cook it? LOL
Forgot to mention and I learned this from the edgunleshiy dude on youtube, I put an amazon wifi security camera with alert close to my bait station and I'll get notification on my phone if one shows up. No need to keep an eye out, we have the technologies!

Got him this morning. Brain shot. Flipped off feeder onto the ground so I didn’t have to get a ladder.

MarkT, absolutely take the shot BUT you need to know your gun. I started shooting at a dairy with Scott Dellinger. I was slow, afraid to shoot over 50 yards, no confidence but things are different now. When you know your gun is dialed in and you shoot that starling in the head when he’s partially behind a pole and bending down looking between some wires and you thread that pellet right in there. If you have spent the time behind your gun, you’ll be able to put the pellet in his eye with confidence. Chuck
