Yeah thats true especially when aiming for the head. so maybe i was being abit ambitious but hey i like a challenge. i know the point is to kill them as quickly and humanely as possible but how many times have you hit a pigeon and it runs /flies/squalkes basically does everything but fall to the ground dead. so i know trying to hit one in mid flight is going to be nearly impossible to kill with one shot but like i said they dont all die with one shot anyway. cheers daz

thats what i thought but what got me thinking was when i watched the videon on here of some blokes hunting pheasants with bows. so i thought why not with an air rifle. but i do fully understand that a shotgun has a good amount of pellets from which only one has to hit the bird right and an air rifle only has one. so i know its a long shot but if you dont ask you donk know. cheers lads daz

That does sound the more logical way to do it. but i was thinking of a bit more sport but its probably a bit of a hard task to actually kill them in flight.

Hi All This maybe a bit of a stupid question or not as the case may be but does anybody use an air rifle to shoot woodies. I meen shoot them in flight. I know it must be difficult but if you use the same principals that you use with a shotgun then can an air rifle be used in the same way with any success. I am asking because i dont have a fire arms licence. what do you think the chaces are of it being successful I have got my tin hat on so fire away. Cheers Daz

last night i asked a local diver to check my bottle to see if it out of test and he said it is out of test. it ran out last november but he said it is in very good condition and should have no trouble getting tested. the bottle is usless to me as i dont drive a car i only ride a motorbike and cant carry the bottle with me so i want to get a pump so i can charge my gun up if i run out of shots. i have a s400 and it only holds max shots so charging it up at home then relying on having enough power in the cylinder is no good. so if someone wants a tank this is a bargain as the tanks are goin

Hi all I am new to shooting over other peoples land ie farmers and was wanting to know when people say that you get permission off a landowner to shoot over their land do you normally get it in writing from the farmer or is it usually just by word of mouth. would a farmer be upset if you asked him or her to write out a letter stating that he or she had given you perission to shoot over their land. for instance if i aproached a farmer and he gave me permission but not in writing how do i stand if pc plod turns up or a discruntled heighbour. the reason i am asking is that a few friends are

Hi all First of all a big hello to all the members. I have just found this forum through google while looking to buy a new air rifle. To introduce myself I have been shooting on and off since i was a young lad i am now 47 and have just got back into shooting again after a break of a few years.

I have not been s
