Got up extra early this morning to get work done before church as we have a couple guys off. I figured I was gonna be there an hour and a half before sunrise I would check to see if there were any rats. I didn't see one anywhere. So that's cool I bought a NV scope for shooting rats lol. Anyways I went and checked in our barn as no one was there at that time. Had at least 30 pigeons in there. Turned my Shorty down to 12fpe with 20 18gr JTS and went to town. I recovered 14 but for sure hit 16 all in about 3 minutes. I need to do a new setting on my Zulus for such close shooting. 5-12yds would be my guess on longest shots and had to aim real high and some I just hit the rafters below them at first. But they were in a panic in there flying in circles as it was so dark outside the barn they wouldn't leave. If I had more pellets on me I would have gotten quite a few more. So while i might not have found any rats i learned a better time to go to the barn and take out the pigeons.
