Yep, The problem is they can sometimes fly quite a distance. Are you planning on field shooting?

Moss, you have told me about how you shoot... I don't know if you can shoot one outta the air.   :chuckle:

I shot one off the ground with my bow once......sumbitch flew about 500 yards and 3 fields over before it died and fell outta the sky.  Then a herd of cattle trampled, blew snot and pooped on it.  Damned cows!  True story.

use a blunt when they are flying it will break bones... saw it on a TV show Feathered Affliction it think. the dude was shooting geese from a lay out blind with guys and shotguns backing him up.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

it's legal and it's a blast!! If you're shooting them on the ground then just make sure you use a broadhead with a large cutting diameter, aim for the fold in the wing.

a lot of times you'll get multiple shots at a flock.

Always thought this would be a great way to reduce those pesky resident birds in parks and on golf courses.... or scuba gear and a gunnysack.

 That has *censored* movie all over it, I would pay to see that :chuckle:

Seriously though I would love to try it, if any of you Moses guys or other fowlers would mind a tag along or two. How would the guillotine heads work?
