I saw some subsonic at Academy 580fps (too slow for me). So picked some more CCI Standard and Norma Tac22 1083fps. They shoot MOA to sub MOA in the A22 most of em in one hole. I shoot CCI SV in most everything and have a lifetime supply of it. The only sound is the bolt running. Shoot a coon in the dome with it and I think you will be pleased. It's very accurate in most firearms too. 9” Volquartsen carbon barrel, El Camino silencer, ghillie green Hogue .920 stock, Kidd trigger and guts and a Leupold 3-9 X 33 AO scope. I don’t like pistol grip chassis guns so this was what I came up with. Please excuse the mess, just wrapping up trapping season. [/quote]

Reducing all activity around that feeder as quietly as possible can never be bad. With that said, late after the season, who cares. I won't shooting near deer season. Coons usually come in an hour or two before the hogs I shoot this in the 10/22, el camino suppressor and all you hear is the bolt. has worked great out to 50 yds. or so (all I have had to shoot so far). https://www.sgammo.com/product/22-l...-subsonic-hollow-point-ammo-made-england lake fork FISHERMANS COVE MARINA - 903 474 7479 reservations

Good for practicing trigger squeeze but accuracy isn’t great or always consistent. Very quiet but is still illegal. I shot at a target on a metal plate that directed the spent lead down into the ground. Wish I could get more of it but the gun stores around me quit carrying it.

I've shot various critters with my suppressed sub sonic loads up to about 80# pigs, Trying find an extra stock for my FVSR to cut down for my grandson. Hunt WITH your kids... NOT for them

If I were shooting .22LR subs through a suppressor at animals, I'd wanna be right on top of them. In single action revolvers I like the 60 grain subs from Aguila ---> CLICK HERE . I would not shoot them through a suppressor. Pass the gravy.

I’ve got rotator cuff issues myself but so far, drawing a trad bow isn’t an issue. My compound bow I can feel it. I’ve been pushing thru but I’m hoping my bowhunting days are not numbered. I don’t know if I would keep hunting whitetail if I couldn’t bow hunt. For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I don’t know if I would keep hunting whitetail if I couldn’t bow hunt. I missed this apparently. Those are my bow fishing bows. All Bears from Grayling Michigan. A perk of working in a bow shop for years.

Gun shoots a 143gr slug at 1025fps. It hits hard, which is louder than the report. So hitting the first sends the others up a post oak next to the feeder for easy pickings. I do have another suppressed Airgun that shoots .25cal pellets at about 40 or 50 FPE. It is almost silent and I wouldn't hesitate shooting a large coon in the head at 50 yards with it. They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!
