This evening I returned one again to the site of a pigeon control project I was hired to do by the managers of a nearby apartment complex. After several attempts, I launched a pellet through the head of the last resident pigeon that was hanging out there and crapping up the place. Breath easy, resident asthmatics - the poo bombers are all dead and your AC units are safe to turn on again.
...only right after I killed the last pigeon, another one flew in. Figures.
It's dead now, too.
What I have learned from this experience: Beeman pellets SUCK! (Not what you were expecting me to say?) Maybe they're OK in Beeman pellet rifles, but in the Gamo rifle that I'm using, they might as well be musket balls fired down an unrifled barrel. If you have the misfortune of buying these things, make sure to spend plenty of time and half of the can of pellets adjusting the sights on your rifle. Then, after you think they're ready to go, sight the rifle in again, because they're not. And after that, when you're in the field, adjust them again. By the time you have ten pellets left, you should be able to hit 1 out of 10 targets. Bleh.
The moral of the story: BUY CROSSMAN PELLETS!
