I've been having (what I consider) a problem with rabbits in my yard lately. I mean, they're all over the place. Anyway, someone recommended the Gamo 1000 air rifle and hunting pellets. Well, last night, came home with the rifle (it comes with a cool laser scope and flash light). Anyway, there's this pesky bird that's always flying through my yard and resting on my hammock. I decided to take the G 1000 for a test. First shot, that sob flew to the ground. It was actually disgusting to look at cause it looked like it exploded. Air rifles have changes from when I was a kid and I'm only 32.
