you worry you can't hit a snake in the head?
practice.
the fact is, if he's coiled up n ready to strike, you have a stationary target.
if he's moving, the shot is harder, but you get more than one shot.
when a snake is stretched out n moving, he can't strike, so you can empty your gun at him.
you have all the time in the world to hit him.
in either case, a cheap little bullet is all you need.

I can see myself making a good hit with shot, but the snakes still alive and writhing around so I empty my gun trying to shoot it again but it gets away to go off to suffer and die. The hoe is my preferred weapon. I have used the edge of a piece of plywood to dispatch some rattlesnakes and one that kids said was a water moccasin but turned out to be a red belly water snake. (They said they saw a big white mouth) but back then I was stronger, faster, more coordinated, could see, etc. etc.
Now I would get ready to hit the snake and fall down right by it and not be able to get up without something to steady me.
