Police Shoot 76 Times At A Guy That Never Shot At Them

A .22 pellet rifle is pretty accurate up to about 150 feet with some drop, assuming compressor pump is in tip top shape. My younger brother shot a squirrel out of a tree with one at about 100 ft, mortally wounding it. Then, realizing what he had done, finished it off with several rounds. It traumatized him for life, and he never touched the thing again. I used it to shoot targets, not living things. I could shoot a quarter off a tree branch at 120 ft pretty reliably. All men in my family are good shots - my dad tried skeet shooting for the first time a few years ago and after two practice pulls he smashed every target. He showed me how to shoot quarters at 250 ft with a .22 firearm - he used to be employed as a teen to shoot all of the gophers that were eating up the rail tracks in Bells Corners, near Ottawa. He would leave in the morning and come back in the afternoon with a dozen or so gopher and ground squirrel carcasses and hang them all on the local rail manager's fence and collec the money the next morning and do it again. My older half brother is the only one to have made use of the skill by joining Canada's special forces and touring Bosnia and Afghanistan as a sniper. I don't recommend that route.
