I was hoping to do some possum shooting with my .223 but worried I would miss some shots and my bullet could go anywhere. Any help here? Is tree shooting only restricted to .22?
    My take would be not safe to do even a .22LR as it is above the skyline and you cannot make sure the fall zone is safe and clear.....ergo, shotgun.
