Re: .22 LR subsonic ammo from Browning semi-auto rifle
I personally have tried owl decoys and they have not worked. One employee kept having her side view car mirror destroyed by a bird. Must have felt the reflection was a threat. I have had a large solar type window cracked by pecking birds. Put up owls without any effect. I actually bought a Gammo whisper pellet rifle for destructive squirrels but I too am in a city with laws against shooting so I live with it rather than break the law. I once asked a guy at an apple orchard outside Lubbock how he dealt with birds. His answer was you start your orchard far enough out where there are no birds.

If you are smart you would not in any way be involved with this guys shooting activity except to tell him not to do it at all. It's illegal.Crash wrote:Thanks to all for comments. Responses to questions/comments:
We live in a neighborhood where the houses are generally 15 - 20 ft apart.
It is not against the law to shoot pest birds such as starlings, sparrows, etc., but not with a firearm within city limits and we are inside the city limits.
At the angle my friend would be shooting, if he misses the bird, the bullet would wind up outside the city limits, probably on a neighboring ranch. And, or course, he would be responsible for it.
My solution may be to take him with me to a shooting range and demonstrate just how loud it is--and read him the laws about discharging a firearm within the city limits and being responsible for the projectiles.
Thanks again,
Crash
