Ok, so some of you may laugh, but does anyone use quiet, low f.p.s. air rifles for squirrel or rabbit hunting? I obtained a Chinese air rifle at a gun show a couple of years ago for $30, just as a practice weapon for myself & my kids, but it's surprisingly accurate with the pointed hunting pellets. Not sure of the f.p.s. velocity, so I inquired at The Smithy about possible hop-ups.
I like the idea of quiet hunting. I also like presicion shooting: one shot, one kill mentality, plus growing up having to watch every dollar made me aware that every shot at game meant a meal. I still try to be thrifty, especially with kids, a wife, car payments & a mortgage, so please don't beat me over the head with the "buy an 'X-brand' for $700" commments! Thanks!
