Update: 410 Shotgun vs Starlings

[Kenneth Hicks]

In an impressive display of firepower, the 410 shotgun is off to a commanding 2-0 lead. Two starlings have been permanently removed from any further participation in any thing. Both met their demise without the slightest idea of the danger they were in.

Enough of that. True to the advice given in an earlier topic, the martins have hardly been bothered by the gunfire. They fly up a little bit or not at all. The starlings on the other hand are being severely bothered.

Thanks for each one's advice concerning my gunfire question.

Kenneth. Do you shoot at extremely close ranges? So the shot doesn't start to spread out? Or just make sure the PMs are quite aways to the side? Just curious. CUL Lou

....lol. I've noticed that they don't do very well vs the 20 gauge either
Of course, that was back before I had any birds, and it sure didn't do much for the wooden house either
But for the record, the flying rat had to be placed on the disabled list for, well forever!!!!

THE OLD 12 GAUGE WITH THOSE 3 & 1/2 INCH 6 SHOT TURKEY LOADS WORK PRETTY WELL ALSO, 50 OR SO YARDS. NO MORE SCUM BEAKS!!!
