EDgun .25 vs Pigeons
So in my quest to make the EDgun perfect I decided to try something new. I followed some tuning advice from a bro in Lebanon ( I can’t tell the tune, I promised to keep it a secret). I shoot pigeons a lot on dairy farms and often times it seems like the pellet blows through the bird and it wounds the bird. Head shots are not a real option because I am shooting between 75-120 yards. I am there to help the farmer get rid of pigeons so for the sake of consistency I go for body shots. The tune took my 930 FPS .25 Maddy down to 890 FPS. The crazy thing is I get 7 magazines on regulator with a 3-5 foot per second ES. I found the lower speed killed the pigeons with a wider margin of error. The pellet is very stable.
Has anyone else noticed that slowing the .25 down a little seems to allow the pellet to transfer more energy into the bird/critter?
Here’s a little sample from my day.

Well probably you didn’t but soon you will strongly believe you absolutely need it and for a “small fee” you will be able to get it 😀 (please don’t forget that the secret cannot be disclosed otherwise the magic chain will be broken).
I already apologize in advance if I hurt some feelings (and pockets) 😀
P.S. Ernest, another tuner in town now :hug:
Working hard over the past years to reach desired results are certainly not to be shared ( thats how i read in my LEBANESE book )
Brian is a friend and happy for him the EDgun dealership acquisition and i respect that he’s keeping the promise by not spreading what i shared with him recently… and will be more happy if he will get some extra pocket money from that…
That’s a part of the trade game after all…
It’s just funny how people choose a public forum not to speak about an announced secret (in my book :D)
Either it is fun or like you said it is pocket money but certainly there is nothing wrong by “attracting customers”, like you said it is part of the trade game.
Farmers are seeding and so did future edgun dealers … 😀
