    Default Anyone else hunt with an airgun?

    I hunt squirrels,rabbits,chipmunks,field mice, and small things like that. What gun do you use?

    I use a Winchester 1000x
    1,000 fps
    RWS Super H Point pellets
    6.9 grains

    Oh yeah... my gun has a 3-9 x 32 scope on it.

    I shot my buddies GAMO air rifle... we tried to hit these stinking pocket gophers but weren't very successful at all... I think it would be fun to have one but dont know if I would use it a lot....

    i use to use an airgun back in the day, still take it out for a few squirrels sometimes. its just a little crossman, i think its rated for 500fps, i wouldnt mind an airgun like yours! might invest in one sometime. i used to have a 3-7x bushnell .22 scope on it. i had that thing literally driving tacks i shot a partridge in the head with it out of a tree. killed him stone dead

    Used to. I gave my Red Ryder and Daisy 880 to my boys, they commonly stalk black birds and cicadas with them now.

    I still have the Sheridan pellet rifle I bought when I was 14, and that was a long time ago, and that gun works great to this day. 10 pumps provided more than enough power to stop bunnies or tree rats with one shot. I"ve taken my share of rabbits and squirrels with it, even knocked a crow out of tall tree once with a head shot.

    Most of my Airgun hunting was done with a Crossman that took the .22 pellets. Shot rabbits, squirrels, lots of birds and lots and lots of gophers.

    I carry an airgun coon hunting to knock the coons out of trees, but other than that just shoot targets with it.
