Rabbit hunting w/a crosman powermaster 66 .177?


A Crosman 664 (basically the modern version of the Crosman 66) shoots an 8 grain pellet at 645 fps (according to Crosman's stated muzzle velocity for pellets).(1) That means it yields a muzzle energy of 7.39 ft-lbs.(2) According to the chart Dr. Beeman prepared(3) that means a Crosman 664 has enough energy to kill squirrels out to around 25 yards and rabbits out to around 15 yards with proper pellet placement (which basically means head-shots).

That said, its not an ideal air-rifle for hunting. Crosman doesn't even recommend it for hunting small game. You'd be better off investing in either a spring piston air-rifle or a good pre-charged pneumatic rifle capable of driving a .177 caliber pellet at 1000+ fps or a .22 caliber pellet at 800+ fps. A gun like that would give you additional range and a greater margin of error since it would double or triple the amount of energy the gun delivers.

If you're going to insist on using a Crosman 66x for hunting, get as close to the animal as possible. Under 10 yards would be best. Certainly no more than 20-25 yards for squirrel and 15 yards for rabbits and limit yourself to head-shots.

You could set these: alias k = kubectl                         # will already be pre-configured export do = "--dry-run=client -o yaml"     # k get pod x $do export now = "--force --grace-period 0"   # k delete pod x $now Vim To make vim use 2 spaces for a tab edit ~/.vimrc to contain: set tabstop=2 set expandtab set shiftwidth=2 More setup suggestions are in the tips section .     Question 1 | Contexts Task weight: 1%   You have access to multiple clusters from your main terminal through kubectl contexts. Write all those context names into /opt/course/1/contexts . Next write a command to display the current context into /opt/course/1/context_default_kubectl.sh , the command should use kubectl . Finally write a second command doing the same thing into ...
