Yes, they do have tough, leathery skin. As tough has their skin is, however, its pretty thin.

Great questions. When I hunted iguanas with a .30 caliber, I used an FX Crown 500mm barrel with 44gr pellets at 80FPE. All body shots (and head shots) were pass throughs, distances were 5yds-60yds. I even shot them in different parts of their chest cavities thinking maybe I wasn't hitting their...

It doesn't make sense to me either, so I'm trying to understand the terminal performance. In firearm hunting articles I've read in the past, they talk about the energy that is wasted when a bullet passes through the animal vs when the bullet stays in. Such articles bring up many points to...

I wanted to share my most recent findings on my last iguana hunt, but let me begin with my previous experiences. The first time I went, I took a .30 cal and shot iguanas both in the head and in their vitals. On that trip I noted that body shots did not seem to phase the iguanas, even multi...

Yup, they are armored catfish, gar, snakeheads, and a tilapia.

I enjoy hunting with an airgun but this is just on a different level. I'm still testing optimal arrow speed, arrow tips and proper arrow setup, but so far testing has been successful!

On that hunt? I think it was 50-55yds if I remember correctly. With a sub 20FPE, I think it was 70ish.

How cool is that! Very classy gun... wish I had a springer

.177, sub 20FPE (so std not the HP) shooting pellets 10gr or 13gr... can't remember.

I've done some testing myself and have found that bolts/arrows flying faster than 600FPS blow right through targets or get so lodged in it that you end up breaking the arrow trying to take it out. Losing and breaking arrows while gathering DOPE or practicing is too costly for me. So, from my...

Does anyone else have the fever of hunting with an arrow-airgun? Well I have for a few years now, and finally put together a video to share my initial results. Be warned it is an extensive video, designed to be educational rather than entertaining: Hope this video helps those that may have...

I love to hunt with airguns! Because of this addiction, I am constantly testing theories, ideas, etc. to find out what is ethical or not (in my opinion of course). I have had a lot of success (over 100 rock chucks) using .177 sub 20FPE air rifles out to 70-75yds, hitting them with slugs and...

Many great opinions have already been shared, I'll just throw my two cents in: Assuming we are talking about tree squirrels, my preferred caliber (because both will get the job done with proper shot placement) is .22 for the following reasons: - pellets are easier to grab and load - higher FPE...

Great land management practice!
