We used to ring a shell with a pocket knife and shoot it at ducks at 75 yards on the pond. We would slip up the back side of the levee and we only had one shot in our single barrel . It works . The ducks were always in the shallow end on the pasture side so no getting closer possible.We would wait for them to bunch up and get 2 and some times 3. Old 2 3/4" paper hull shells.They kinda whistled as the went down the pond.

One other thought on the 22 is if you are close enough for a shot behind the ear it does fine . Up to about 25 yards.
