I want to be able to shoot squirrel varmints, with a handgun airgun, at a MAXIMUM distance of 30 feet Firearms are not possible in this situation.

Where does one go on Firiing Line Forums to discuss decent quality airguns and sights with consistent accuracy at short distances of 20 to 30 feet?

I'm interested in building a comparison matrix of, say, 3 to 6 options from various mfg/models that might work for this purpose.

Is headshot accuracy even possible with modern airguns at this distance? Is airshot velocity/mass sufficient for taking out the head of small varmints like this?

I don't see a special forum for airguns, so assume that an airgun question would fit here. If not, please feel free to move this to a better forum.
