1. What is the guy doing with a pet squirrel. My only experience with one was in 7th grade: it climbed up my shoulder and urinated down my back. I vote for the hawk.
2. Pellets are not as accurate, but nipping that bird in with a pellet a couple of times might have suggested a move to a different neighborhood; however, birds are not very smart...
3. The guy's a doctor. Please don't relate that to me.
4. I'm more green than the next guy, and I love animals. I like them broiled, grilled, with BBQ sauce...

These look pretty accurate.



It's an Olympic sport Dr.K. Accuracy is kinda important at the Olympic level.

I have a Gamo single stroke pellet gun with a scope and it is pretty darn accurate to 75 yards for a hawk-sized target. Even my Crosman 760 is accurate to that distance, but I think a lead .177 pellet would do more lethal damage than a steel BB.
