The Brother in-law is having problems with pigeons in his barns and asked if I could get rid of them. Being my Son loves to eat them (away with the army) and being the good brother in-law, I went out and bought a Game Hunter Pro 177 cal that can shoot at 1200 fps.
Last weekend I went into his equipment shed. I shot two already and lined up on the third. I shoot and the third bird flops off the beam. To my horror, I see a hole in the tin roof behind where the bird was from the pellet
. Not good - so I cease shooting immediately.
I am shooting Crossman pellets. Is there another pellet that will not penetrate the roof or do I need to maybe look at an air rifle less powerful, maybe under 500 fps and possibly 22 cal?
Any experiences, info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
