Well...a BB gun doesn't hold the same danger as an actual powder driven gun. They can ricochet and hit someone in the eye or something, but that's not in the realm of "danger" to me. Since the pellet actually lodges in a bird's head while the head is against a solid surface, it is highly unlikely there is any danger whatsoever in the practice.

Beekissed, you're gonna shoot your eye out!

Sorry, I have seen A Christmas Story one too many times.

I sure hope it's my bad eye....

I do not understand the negativity every time dispatching our chickens w/ BB or pellet gun is brought up. It is a viable option, just as quick and decisive as the broomstick, or axe, or knife, or club. Other poultry and small game are dispatched this way all the time and no one even blinks. Wild ducks and geese are not trapped, and ambushed so they can chop the head off to kill, they are shot out of the sky not even in as controlled a setting as a killing cone and point blank to the brain stem. I have tried the knife and axe and if those were the only options I would be eating store bought chicken (I'm not even thinking about let alone trying the broomstick or club though they are decisive kills for those able). Not all of us come the "grow our own food" table w/ the same skills, experience or psyche. We all need to find a way that works for us so we can sleep at night and are comfortable w/ our chosen method. If someone choses a method different then ours that doesn't make it wrong, applaud that they are not contributing to the factory chicken horror.

maybe because most people don't know where the brain stem is and are afraid to try it for the reason they will miss and make the chicken suffer? for myself, if i knew for sure where the bs was, would try it, i think it would be a cleaner kill.

Everyone in the U.S. knows where the "bs" is it's in Washington D.C.

Sorry it was wide open and I had to take it

CHOOT EM!

Nothing wrong with shooting birds for a humane kill. Kassaundra there is .22 rimfire ammo that is powder less and shoots a 20 grain bullet .It is deadly and quiet.Aguila is the brand name and it is called Colibri. It is not for semi auto and they say pistol only but I shoot it out of my Dads old bolt action. Keep in mind this is still shooting a firearm and all local laws still apply.

Cool, I'll look into that, I would rather shoot w/ a pistol then the rifle.


If it's quiet, don't expect the police to be setting up an ambush behind the clutter in my garage.
