I shot pigeons, starlings and sparrows on the wing when I was still in school. First with an air rifle around my grandparents barns and equipment buildings. I got to where I could hit them fairly regularly. Shooting was all I wanted to do back then. Every day after school, weekends and holidays, if it wasn't pouring rain and I wasn't sick, I was spending my spare time shooting. All of my money went on guns and ammo. I plumb wore out several air rifles launching wheelbarrows full of pellets before graduating to .22's.
