>>1906717I shoot pigeons (wood pigeons specifically) with 5.5 air rifle. I usually just aim centre of mass as i’m a bad shot, but if you can hit headshots with 4.5 than go for it.
Wood pigeons are great for eating, probably my favorite game bird. The best meat is in the breast, chuck em in a frying pan, no more than 2 minutes on each side, the meat needs to be red.
The carcass, wings and legs I use to either make soup, or to make a broth which you can use to make red wine sauce or something.
