No, I have the kill cone screwed about 4' off the ground to a telephone pole that's about 10" across. The bird's head ends up about 3 feet off the ground so I'm firing at a horizontal/ever-so-slightly downward angle into the pole. I've been doing this for close to 5 years and there's probably a pound or so of .22 projectiles lodged in the wood. One or several will occasionally become dislodged, and there's always a few laying on the ground beneath the cone.
Without going through a chicken head, the .22 aguila super colibris have barely enough powder to bury the bullet in a live sycamore- the bullet's butt is flush with the bark. After passing through a chicken head, the bullet will sometimes hit the pole and fall to the earth because it didn't have enough energy to get buried in the wood.
