Impressive!

More so if it's a handgun!

I can split a match at 10 yards with my pellet handgun... But from a fixed position and fixed Target.

Might have to grab these Snakes by the back of the neck and then do them execution-style. It's just such a difficult shot that I can't imagine if you made it that it wasn't just by luck. Will not stop me from trying though.

I might also point out that shooting at anything in water cause and will cause ricochets. Very dangerous practice.

I'm no outdoorsman.

Nor am I a mechanic, electrician, landscaper, arborist, plumber, roofer, hairstylist, politician, writer, musician, IT pro, I also don't do fences, not a philosopher, also not a dog trainer nor am I a painter... however I can do all of those and more just well enough to make me dangerous...and make things fun!






Are you a joker, a smoker and a midnight toker? Night yaking while high and armed hunting snakes - what could go wrong?

Yes yes. I wear my safety lenses. I clear my shooting lane and understand my backstop, deflection and ricochet possibilities based on conditions, ammo, terrain etc.

I've been doing this bruh. I won't shoot my eye out.

Never thought shooting a pellet gun at snakes would be so controversial.

I never kill a good snake. I had a friend that was bitten by a cotton mouth in East TX. Not something you want to go through. He had a scar from his knee to ankle and 2" wide. It killed a fair amount of calf muscle.

Wow, I've never seen one. They say their mouths are usually to small to bite people.

I remember back in the late '70's there was a crazy full auto .177 freon operated machine pistol (think M3 greasegun) that could shoot a rope of BBs.
Great snake killer on the lake.....until a couple of guys got spotted with one by a LEO in a helicopter.

Had one on the front porch yesterday morning. Gave it a few nudges with a frog gig..... it exited ....... I pissed one off at fork in the late 80's..... throwing a topwater at what I thought was a frog from the head in the grass next to the bank. Dang thing came at the boat and was standing up like a cobra..... I would estimate 8 feet long. My brother knocked it out with a boat paddle... we idled off.... it came too and swam to another boat and they got busy. Good times.
