Beeman break barrel .22 with scope
Clocks at around 1200fps
Can make clean head shots at 75 feet.

I began hunting with blunt nose pellets but remarkably they didn’t penetrate very well, so switched to pointed pellets and they did remarkably well. The 3+ foot iguanas hit the ground with a thud and dead right there.

It’s a twisted sense of satisfaction that I get.

The only thing I feel bad about is when they drop in the neighbor’s yard, beyond the fence or my ability to discard the carcass. But, then again, their overgrown fishtail palms are where the iguanas perch, so they rather invite the problem.

Once I started the eradication,I noticed that I had far more hibiscus and plumeria blossoms. I just didn’t realize how much they eat! Not to mention my garden that was simply getting destroyed. For that alone I had to solve the problem.

Happy hunting!

I have one too, it's a Beeman Kodiak.....

I switched to the PCP since it's far quieter than the Beeman and I can shoot it without the neighbors hearing it.

Quite expensive for initial outlay because I had to buy a scuba fill tank and the hardware that is required
