Because I live in the land of stinkin and firing off a .22 would land me in jail.
Of course my need to dispose of the family of skunks roaming the neighborhood is no excuse and local animal control refuses to take action.
So while at Cabelas with my gift card in hand over the holidays I popped for a Gamo bone crusher (name implies it will get the job done). This is a nitrogen filled model with an advertised velocity of 1300 fps with a .177 alloy pellet. Have to admit I've had a lot of fun plinking with it in the backyard it's quite accurate out to about 50 yards or so. Question is will it be adequate to take down a skunk and at what practical range? Needless to say 50 yards is about as close as I want to get.
