this is one of the problem starlings i had in my yard , not so much of a problem now .shot was taken from my dining room window at about 10 yards with a crosman wad cutter at 10 pumps .

Great shot. I hate those things.

tell me about it. i live on a farm so they are around all year but this time of year is the worst all the young of this year are flying around sqawking so i took my 12 guage out today and shot at a single bird in a flock. the cool fact that three fell tells you guys how many there are. on my second shot i got one and on the third i got three or four. a good shoot by my standards.

I would love to unleash on those dogfood raiders myself, but I'm in an urban area and airgunnin is all I can handle here.

to me here in mn they are like prairie dogs...er flying prairie dogs. just last night i shot through two of them with a .22 with one shell. they were close so i figured i could hit 'em both. well i splattered one (the second one) and the first one fell over with not a lot of blood. earlier this week i dumped two at over fifty yards and boy they don't take the bad news my Federal hollowpoints have to tell them lol.

My starlings have moved elsewhere now it's mourning doves and house sparrows.

sparrows are always fun little targets...
