Default RE: Air Rifle for Small game

NCL,

Believe this or not, my daughter and I was just messing around last winter with her Daisy Pumpmaster 760 and we killed 4 squirrels with it one morning. Yes, there was a tremendous amount of squirrels in our yard and woods. I've always known that this little air rifle had that kind of power because when my son was small he would stick the barrel of his pumpmaster into the rabbit boxes to dispatch a rabbit before he'd pull out the rabbit so it didnt scratch him. <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

The squirrels that we killed that morning was by head shots at close range. Later on I thinned the squirrels out around the house and killed another 21 or so (in a week or so) using a shotgun to keep the mischief down. <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'm no expert with air rifles, but I am sure there are plenty out there at almost any price range with different capabilities. I just wanted to share this little story with you.

Good huntin'

Smack 'em where it hurts!
