[QUOTE="eshell, post: 3100810, member: 5747"] I've shot quite a few farm/barn pigeons and used to shoot them in a big factory at night by the feed sack full. After shooting literally hundreds, I prefer a 5mm or .22 air rifle due to the way the .177 pellets zip right through the bird. I have an RWS/Diana .177 that shoots about 950 fps and a Beeman 5mm that shoots about 850 fps. The Beeman gets noticeable faster and more decisive results and there's never a question whether the bird is hit. With the .177, I have shot many birds dead-center in the chest and had them walk a few feet and stand there 10 seconds before falling out. Almost any good quality air rifle/pellet combo should be fine for inside 25 yards. [/QUOTE]
