And if Im just retarded and there isnt any such table, does anyone know what I can kill with 5.92 fpe and from what range?   Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 10:25 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I remember seeing a list too, but I can't remember where it is. I think it was 1fpe per pound of animal. I do remember that quite well. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

And where will it die painlessly in 1 shot besides the head, lungs, or heart?   Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 10:45 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Unfortunately that is about the max for doves and starlings. I would hesitate on a crow though. I'd rather have 8 or 9 fpe for that. Is it a springer or a CO2 gun? That can make a HUGE difference on both speed and energy. Head shots are really the only way to get a bird or squirrel afaik. They have a built in escape mode that kicks in no matter how hard they they are shot. THey can go a serious distance it it's only a lung shot. In my youth I lung shot a deer and tracked it for at least a mile. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that?

I don't think dieing is ever painless but if the shot is good then the death should be quick. hELP     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Hunting, Pest Control, Varminting You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
