http://www.shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php?t=6ca8bfa8How do people fire 22 up into a tree and not worry about people a mile away? I never understood that...the one time I went squirrel hunting with my stepdad, we used 20 gauge...Just curious...that is why I am really considering the air gun thing...quiet, challenging, and safer...
Then they shouldn't be turned loose with a firearm.Of course but kiddos can't always do that
I agree with that sentiment and agree about the backstop. It is after all one of the basic firearm safety rules and good common sense.A good explanation but I know it can easily carry enough energy out to 300m...there have been youtube vids showing how powerful it really is...I am just real leery myself about shooting any rifle without a visible backstop.
I always took into consideration the proximity of a road, house, building within 500 yards or so of the squirrel hunt. Shooting at a high, up angle with a 40 grain weight .22LR bullet, even if a shot totally misses like a skyline sight picture (best scenario, rarely miss), I feel like any obstruction that bullet hits, leaves, branch’s on it’s way up and down slows and weakens it tremendously. No more dangerous than a falling pebble or piece of gravel. Shooting at a lower angle in a forest increases the chance the bullet will be slowed, weakened and stopped cold before traveling very far.How do people fire 22 up into a tree and not worry about people a mile away?
