What's your longest kill with..
« on: January 04, 2010, 08:19:38 AM »
an airgun? Mine was a squirrel at 43 yards with the new benji using jsb exact jumbo heavy pellets at 18.1 grains. The 392 is stock, and i am amazed at its accuracy. The super sear will be here soon. I could actually see the pellet flying through the air the last few feet, but the squirrel didn't even twitch. The shot hit right behind the eye. I held about 3 inches high...So whats your best shot with an air rifle?

I went through my posts here on GTA and my longest kill recorded here is 55 yards. It was a clean pass through head shot on a BT using my .22 cal LoneStar.

It's not much compared to what many others have done, but it put a smile on my face ... right after the surprised look wore off ! :D

40 yards is the farthest i would attempt with the benji. I get groups the size of a quarter at 40 yards, but i have to hold over quite a bit to hit where i'm aiming. Anything past 40 ish i could shoot and reload the gun before the pellet hits home. The pellet entered the head, but never exited. One more tail for mepps, and some more squirrel dumplings for me...It's a win win you see? Keep them coming guys..

If I am not mistaken, Timbo has had a successful 100 yards kill of a feathered creature.

Thanks, lucky for me, this one slowed down just long enough.

"If I am not mistaken, Timbo has had a successful 100 yards kill of a feathered creature."
Wow ! Anything that far out I'd have to put the pellet in an envelop and mail it !!!! :D

Sixty three yard body shot at a Starling with a .177 Gamo Viper using a CPHP pellet.  A couple of buddies and I were plinking in a field and rounded a patch of trees and saw them pecking on the ground.  We leaned on some trees...I aimed at the right side of the flock and my friends took aim at the center and left side.  At the count of three we squeezed the trigger.  I was the only one to drop a bird.  When we went to pick up my bird I turned around and ranged the distance to the trees with my brand new rangefinder...we were surprised that it was 63 yards.

A couple weekends ago I shot one starling at 62 yards offhand (luck) and another using a haybale as a rest at 53 yards.  TF-89 with H-Points.  I aimed about 2"-3" over the starling head at 62 yards.

This last November I took out a ground squirrel with my .22cal Crosman Nitro that I had lasered at 67 yards. It was on a branch of a fallen tree that was up on a hillside. When I nailed him he did 3 beautiful flips in the air before hitting terra firma.
