Head-Shots on moving targes
« on: April 18, 2010, 03:46:55 PM »
I had this problem with Carpenter Bees, eating my house, so I took out 30+ of them at ground level with the Badminton racket, but how to get the ones up at the roof line?

Well shoot them of course.

Cheers, David.

Nice shooting!!!

If a 1" group at 100 yards is MOA, what is shooting the heads off of bees?  MOB?? :emoticon:

What kind of pistol is that?

I have used my R-7 before, but the pistol is much better for moving targets.

That's fantastic.  I wanna try that.  Very nice shooting.   I remember someone saying that they took out a bee, a head shot, with a flying pistol,,,,,ha ha,,,something I could see myself doing in frustration.  Thanks for the pics.  Totally awesome.

Thanks, Guys. It's realy not that hard, just practice.

If you get good with a pistol, through practice, it eventually becomes part of your body.
It is like pointing your finger at something. The sights are out of focus, as you are looking at the target, not the sights.
Concentrate on the Bug, not the gun and keep shooting. I only got one in ten shots.
I was not aiming for the heads, I didn't find any with the head still on it. All the body shots were lost in the woods that are only a few feet from the house, if it hit the head, then the bug simply dropped close to the house, and I found the six I photographed.

Keep shootin.

Cheers, david.

PS, the holes from the Carpenter Bees are huge in comparison to the small dents from a Wad-cutter @ 420fps.
