I have a question, what can i hunt humanly and legally with a .177 1000fps gamo silent cat in Lawton, Oklahoma.Oklahoma pellet gun hunting?
Probably nothing much larger than a butterfly. The .177 just isn't a hunting projectile.Oklahoma pellet gun hunting?
alright if your gun was advertised at 1000 FPS then it probobly goes 800-900 FPS resulting in 12-13 foot lbs of energy. As most people say the .177 is not a hunting caliber, and i agree with them to a certain extent, but anything is possible. i have killed groundhogs in 850 FPS .177 with headshots, piegons 35 yards away rabbits instantly and squirrels more than anything. so to answer your question you could hunt jackrabbits(with a headshot), cottontails, squirrels, prairie dogs and doves and piegons. good luck
The two animals I know of for sure are squirrels and rabbits. Go to www.wildlifedepartment.com and review the regulations for what you want to hunt. Under ';Legal means of taking';, if it says ';air propelled missile';, that means a pellet or BB gun. There are no restrictions on power or caliber of air guns in Oklahoma.
One thing you need to know, it is illegal to shoot any bird other than a starling or sparrow with ANY kind of rifle in Oklahoma.
Air guns are legal for small game in OK. Use a good hunting pellet, not the target type. You need a hunting license %26amp; hunter ed. card. Squirrels
and rabbits will drop with a proper shot.
I believe hunting humans is illegal in OK as wells as the other 49 states. But check with your local conservation dept. just to be sure.

If it is really shooting at 1000 FPS NOTHING. 1000FPS is to fast for a stable pellet flight path. Now if it is just ratted at 1000FPS then chrony it and find how fast it actualy shoots with a good heavy pellet that the gun likes. With pellets heavier than 8 grain, If it shoots between 800 and 850FPS anything up to coon, and maybe even Fox, if it shoots between 650 and 800FPS then anything up to Jack Rabbit. If it shoots over 850FPS there is nothing that you can hunt and be sure of a clean kill.
I am sharing a dangerous story from my life. I was going to hunt in a deep forest suddenly a tiger flow me I am try to shoot the tiger but i can't shoot tiger because of that time I was using the rifle it was low range and low power. So when any one going to hunt you should take a best pellet gun which is helping you dangerous moment.
Please check www.bestairriflereview.net if you want good quality air rifle.
Get you a good pcp....don't waste your money on a Springer...forget about high velocity...stay bellow 900fps....
Ive taken many squirrels with the benjamin prowler.22 at 950 fps right under the chin or even high up on the side will do the job every time
