Yes, but it took me a WHOLE LOT of attempts. Way back in my infancy really, mid 70s. I finally resorted to taking some blounts, drilling some holes in them and making myself some big bird heads out of piano wire in a big clover leaf affair about 4 or 5 inches across. I was shooting at passing doves(had a roost behind the house in some low brushy trees)and tweets in the back yard in Georgia for days. I finally got where I hit and knocked a few down. I don't know how many near misses I had and how many just plain awful attempts. I finally decided my best weapon for the venturewas my old recurve. I killed a few and missed bunches. The best method was just using the SWAG method of aiming, ie... not aiming but just doing it by feel and lead.
