    Big game with limited power, .177 or .22?

    You're right, I was a gunsmith for 7 years and a clerk at the same gunshop for 5 years. My mentor growing up was a "sniper" during WWII Sergeant Fredrick J. Lander 76 Infantry, he told me stories of his hits on the Germans. You made a good point which I eluded to " You never hear about the...

    4X32 A/O

    I'm liking this scope well enough to buy another, it's been off and on cloudy here and and comparing the UTG and the Tasco, the Tasco is clearer. These scopes don't cost very much and I'm totally impressed with their quality. I'm not trying to sell these things to you guys, but when I have...

    What I typed was a small portion of what Sam Fadala said in one of his books describing people who share a similar view as you in regards to adequate power for use on large game animals and I trust his information orders of magnitude more than I do yours. My quote was meant to add a little...

    Big game with limited power, .177 or .22?

    I've been attacked here for simply disagreeing with others, this forum seems to be a place where unless you parrot the thoughts of others you're subject to snide remarks. I've added plenty to this thread and I can tell the real hunters by those who also responded similar to me in regards to the...

    Rifled Muskets used during the Civil War could hit a man 500 yards away. " When his men warned him to take cover, Sedgwick responded by joking, "They couldn’t hit an elephant at that distance." Just then, a sharpshooter’s bullet crashed into his skull, right below his left eye, killing him...

    I'm not pinned in any corner I mentioned Sam Fadala because he's a very smart highly educated man and he's covered this topic albeit with muzzleloaders very extensively. I think the only reason you're keeping this up is for the simple reason that I disagree with you.

    I'm sick of your condescending comments towards me and if you're too stupid to understand that it absolutely does have something to do with the context of this thread be it that the topic is about low power weapons for hunting.

    I love what Sam Fadala once said, if velocity and energy didn't matter we could all just carry a pocket full of roundballs and throw them at the game" He was/is a blackpowder shooter/hunter his books are really informative.

    I was just wondering what their reasoning was for the restriction, it's not like air rifles pose any sort of unusual danger by using them on public land? Safety reasons are the only thing I can think of why they would do this?

    First of all why are we only focussing on wild pigs, my buddy went to Texas wild pig hunting last August and he gave me some and I thought it tasted horrible. Michigan didn't even have feral hogs until recently, regardless If I was starving I'd be hunting the many alternatives to those nasty...

    I'm not trying to deflect anything, what you're doing is irresponsible. If you want to carry on and brag about it go ahead. 😬

    13.7 gr .22 cal Crosman Domed

    Just a heads up to those of you this might matter to, I just picked up a tin of these today and the packaging clearly says (Made in Brazil) it doesn't say it on the tin, just the outter packaging. I ran a few through my R9 and they shoot "ok" but nothing spectacular, I shot a penny sized five...
