They are tough little buggers indeed!I've had a few that have just refused to keel over, maybe I should make a poll, who's the hardest, Rats or Squirrels?!

I have a Falcon FN8 Lighthunter, It only weighs 4.5 lbs and it looks the dogs dangly's theres a picture of it on my post, I think you'll agree it looks good, only downside to it is that it only produces 25 to 30 full power shots before you need to refill it, but other than that its very pointable, and very accurate considering its only got an 8 inch barrel. Cost mate ? I reckon you could get the FN12 for about £300-350 off the BBS, but unfortunately the FN8 Lighthunters are few and far between, I'm yet to see one advertised on the BBS in 10 months or so, they stopped making them

Another day with man flu and I'm stuck in the house again! But things aren't all bad, because when I finally summoned the courage to get out of bed and actually do something constructive I found myself a little present on the lawn eating all my acorns! I grabbed my FN8 Lighthunter and a hand full of accupells, still in my pyjamas and made my way to the window. I opened it a crack and took aim at monsieur Nutkin's head, then unleashed 15 grains of lead at him. unfortunately all that was heard was a soft thunk as the pellet hit the ground above his head!how did this happen?!

Thanks for the positive reviews guys! Our garden is a good size, we have a wooded section at the bottom with about 4 drays in a 100 yard area so there's plenty of action! I nailed another one this afternoon with a 45 yard standing shot right in the spine/neck which I was pretty chuffed with! so that makes 6 for the day! I've tried eating squirrel before, but its not for me... wanted to like it but found it quite tough and greasy, plus their a bugger to skin! I've got some photo's as well as soon as I can figure out a way of getting the photos off my phone and onto my computer!

I've been leaving the squirrels alone a bit since I started my new job partly because I didn't have the time and partly because I'd shot most of them, and the ones I hadn't shot and killed, I'd shot and missed at! Therefore they were wary (and rightly so!) of coming into my garden for acorns! It been about a month since i last shot one so decided to have a pop as I'm off work with the deadliest of diseases, man flu! We have a sweet chestnut tree at the front of the house which is coming into fruit and the squirrels go mental for it, but with it being on the front garden I can't shoot bec

Hi guys, I'm new here so I thought i'd say hello before asking all sorts of questions! I'm Alex, I've just come home from uni and joined the real world, but now im working ive decided to treat myself and get my SGC and a 12 bore, along with a permission here at home! I've just put a deposit down on a Browning medalist and i'm looking forward to learning about shotgun shooting! I already shoot airguns and.22LR target rifles, but shotties are a totally new thing to me so i'm trying to educate myself as much as possible! First question i guess i should ask is has anyone had any experien

Hi mate, welcome! im a newbie from lincolnshire too, where do you shoot here? Alex

Hello everyone!im new to the forums here but not new to hunting and shooting, been shooting since i was 10, drifted off a bit (discovered girls and beer!) and starting to get back into it now at the ripe old age of 23!(i know ill get stick for that!)
