Most shot are from 25-40 yards. A few a bit longer if there is no wind. I shoot Crosman Premier Hollow Points 14.3gr at about 650 fps. I try to hit them between the eye and ear for a quick clean kill. This rig will take them out with a lung shot, but head shots are quicker and often DRT. My areas are in semi rural areas with some houses around so shooting with a .22lr is not safe, but the pellet rifle on the other hand is a perfect tool for the job. I have been thumping between 150-300 of these guys each spring for about 8-10 years now. It seems each year a little more and a little more gets developed and I'm slowly loosing my areas. Still a lot of fun and a lot of off season shooting practice.
