[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2542792, member: 110729"] I have never had the chance to hunt grouse so far, but what you're doing up in the wilderness sounds very cool! 👍🏼 [B]A few questions to clarify: [/B] (1) What impact energy (not muzzle energy) do you need on grouse? (For headshots the necessary impact energy is negligible, for body shots a different story.) (2) What caliber would you consider minimum? (3) What would be the outer limit where you'd want to attempt a shot? The reason I'm asking is that it seems to me you're hoping to [B]get 3 things in one airgun that are mutually exclusive [/B]😉: ▪ Short (pistol!) ▪ Quiet ▪ Powerful (to be confirmed upon your answers to the questions above) Most of my own airgun purchases suffer from similar high expectations like your grouse gun quest! 😄 To help me and other understand this predicament I made up a little [B]infographic[/B]. 🔸 It's message: You need to lower [I]one[/I] of your 3 requirements somewhat. 🔸 The infographic includes some remedies — tips and tricks how you can still get pretty much what you want. ➔ Once the power/ caliber/ range questions are clear we can look for specific guns that could work. 👍🏼 I have some ideas.
