Unless your'e an excellent marksman I think it would be more humane to cut the cats head off. Say you hit it him the back end and it runs into the woods. It may lie in pain for hours before it bleeds to death.
Have you ever thought about catching the animal and taking them to a feral cat rescue or anything. There are lots of places that have feral cat spaying and neutering to try and at least keep them from reproducing. I realize it would be more work on your part, but the cat shouldnt be punished for it. At the worst have it humanely put down.
