Duggan Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I shot one with #7 shot from 75 feet away a few days ago. I came to the top of the sand pits we always shoot at, and there were a few running up the left side of the pit. Needless to say, it didn't drop. Which was my intention, since I have no permit. I just wanted to see it freak out when it was hit with a few grains of sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggan Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 It was a warning tap to get him on his guard to avoid the other people in the area actively searching for him. And calm yourselves, no harm was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well....I'm relieved that you don't live near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally posted by Likwid: Well....I'm relieved that you don't live near me. Perhaps you could "tap" him at 75 yards just to warn him... Scare him out of the area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 aha, I've actually been hit with a few #8 bb's from about that distance They left little red marks that disappeared the next day ... and I don't have feathers to protect me. But I hear the point you guys are making. [ 05-09-2006, 09:09 AM: Message edited by: Duggan ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch-M Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 He said 75 feet ... which is 25 yards. I can see this post taking off into an ethics war. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 you shoot at an animal with a firearm to kill it, not to "warn" it--------my opinion at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'd be a liar if I said I haven't wanted to fire a "warning" shot or two at some "questionable" people before. But I can honestly say that I have never done it to an animal, winged or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I actually meant to say 75 yards, but it hardly matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420W Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I shot an 18lb two year old on fri. It was my first bird with my SBEII 3.5inch fed prem. #4 copper plated about 25 yards, used the factory choke tube. Needless to say i didn't have to get up to run over to it.

420W Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I had a chance to try the SBEII out again on sun. This time i took a 20lb gobbler at 40 paces with fed. prem. #4's did a real nice job at that range also 1 1/4 hooks on this bird 3 year old most likley. I have always used #6 shot but the 4's work good out of this gun with the factory full in it i'll stick with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
