May look at .22 Bird Shot. They say it works great on keeping unwanted birds from the duck house and it will not penetrate the wood. I am probably going to buy a box to check it out.


Ben:

Get some paper, even newspaper or copy paper. Place the paper at the distance that you will be shooting and shoot at the paper with the .22 bird shot. You might be surprised at how few pellets are in the paper. Typically the shot size in those are #12, which is tiny. Plus the rifling in the barrel puts a spin on the shot column, and there is no choke to tighten up the pattern like on a shotgun, so you probably have to be very close to what you are shooting at.

Do the paper thing and let me know what you find out.
