BB gun

If the squirrels were large enough for me to hit them, a BB gun wouldn't
be adequate to take them down. Plus, if they were that big and I killed
one ... It just keeps getting uglier. This is not a good path to go
down.

Squirrel is delicious.

I can kill a squirrel with a BB gun at 10 yards easily.

Improve your marksmanship using tin cans.

Rifles are not as difficult to improve with as pistols are.


I wouldn't think a BB gun would be that accurate. What about a pellet gun?


I never found a real significant difference, but Pellets are
ballistically superior to BB's for sure due to their shape. :-)

So, that might help.

Practice practice practice. Plinking with BB/Pellet guns can be fun
anyway. It's all in the aiming and trigger control.
