Smoking Pests with a .25 Caliber Air Rifle
Cal Sportsman ^ | 5/10/2016 | E Nestor

All Air Rifles are not created equal.

If you’re not familiar with air rifles than take a look at what Ted HoldOver has done from his bathroom. Ted uses a .25 caliber air rifle, and it has the power and precision to make a lasting impression.

Watch and see what great precision and power the new air rifles have to offer and their impacts on pests all caught in slow motion. You certainly will be impressed, watch it here.

It is wrong to kill just for fun.

Something you do once or twice as a kid, feel bad about it, and stop.

Part of becoming a man is respecting life... The animals we use, eat, wear...

Killing for fun - taking a pigeon’s wing out for giggles - is immoral.

Agree about killing for fun. But we shoot pests frequently on the ranch - including feral cats.

Something about California sportsmen just ain’t right. Every article is just somehow....odd.

I think I’ll train my next gray squirrel to shoot this fart-stain in the face with a 12-guage shotgun. See how he likes it.

Ok, I'm willing to change, but what do I do with all these human remains?

Wow! I thought you’d get flamed for that, but I guess not. I feel the same way but was afraid to say so. Good job.

Air rifles have come a long way since the good ol’ Daisy pump. They’ve been around a long time.

Lewis and Clarke had Girandoni air rifles with them.

I have used to have a Marlin model 80G bolt action .22 with a 7 round magazine. Subsonic ammo works great and I was able to get away with target shooting in my back yard (in town).

The Navy used to have 15 INCH cast iron air rifles. Used them in the Spanish American war. The ship which had carried them torpedoed itself during World War I (before Wilson dragged us into the war). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Vesuvius_%281888%29

Yes it is wrong to kill just for fun. But when animals become pests they need to be controlled. Having a little fun doing it is not immoral.

I enjoy wild life very much but it has to be balanced.

Shooting pests =/= killing for fun.

Shooting pests = killing flies with Raid or weeds with RoundUp. Weapon scaled up to match the target.

Yes, there can be a bit of pleasure involved in seeing an enemy destroyed.
