I'm a decent shot

So, the rat episode got us talking about wildlife and someone mentioned that they have skunks in their yard and that they want to get a pellet rifle and shoot them because the town won't of anything about it.

I said that I thought that a pellet rifle would do very little, if any harm to a skunk.

"Oh and why is that?"

"Because once we had ducks in the yard and—"

"As pets?"

"Yup, and a rat started bothering them and I couldn't poison the rat because the ducks would get poisoned and the same with a trap so one night I shot the rat in the head with a twenty-two caliber rifle and the thing was still twitching."

"Where was this?"

"When I used to live in you neighborhood."
