chp5 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Will shooting a tree with lots of .22 kill it? Hopefully not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 the answer is yes it could.... with qualifications.... if the tree is effectivly girdled it will die quickly. a lot of holes will allow many things to attack the tree ants, beetles and rarely germs. the tree will die slowly. if the tree has a lot of holes, a strong wind my be able to break it down. Many trees survived the american Civil war, so it will take a lot of holes to fell a tree... any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 uhm well put it this way. Sunday while shooting the area 8 I saw a tree fall in the middle of a stage. This tree had a solid weekend shooting and was only behind the target at certain angles. But now it is definitely down. I will post pics later if I remember where I put them.

tightloop Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yes, it eventually will kill the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I think it depends on the tree and what you mean by 'lots'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
