Thread: Close Proximity Shooting - Canada Goose - What could possibly go wrong?

Gidday @flock I have to ask the question, have you ever shot a Canada Goose with your PCP at 70 odd metres?

As a general rule of thumb, anything which is shot in the (vital part) of the head will die. Sometimes instantly, sometimes after some theatrical. From the rabbit photo it looks like the PCP would do the job.

But when the birds are no longer sitting pretty, and are milling around squarking, would you be confident killing them quickly, with one pallet to the body? Or would they become FLAPPERS!?

In my work I cannot afford to have flapper! As I said before, there are six staff watching me and 8 to 12 Villas looking down onto the pond. I need instantaneous kills with no drama. I can't be seen to treating animals "inhumanely" or "cruelly."

The worst case scenario, which I'm trying to avoid, is a flapper going over the fence into the New World carpark where is goes flapping around circles, bleeding out in front of Granny and the kids, with me or someone else running around after it, trying to kick it to death. Just imagine what that would look like on social media and the six o'clock news!

Last question about your PCP (I know nothing about these) is it a bolt action repeater? A semi automatic? Or do you hand feed each pallet?
