It seems as though when I shoot at starlings, they don't seem hit without a head shot or a straight up shot through the body. I can shoot little one inch nodules out of the tree but shots at starlings at the same distance, and they fly away. Could it be that they are just being drilled like a "laser" and then flying off and dying. I shoot them with Gamo match at a muzzle velocity of 825 fps and the distance is normally between 20 and 30 feet.
I realize I could just be missing, but it just doesn't seem likely i would miss that often. I have been shooting all my life nearly and I still go through a tin a week or so of pellets.
I am sure my next rifle will be a .22 though. just for this reason. |
