chay 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 i personally enjoy sitting under a tree at roost and pick off the woodies as they land on the branches or i stalk through the woods and try them that way .i get as much enjoyment from that as i do having a stalk at the deer like someone said each to their own Theres actually a fair bit of skill involved with shooting woodies with an air rifle .the slightest movement and they are off Quote Link to post

air gunner 0 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Heads up to people shooting pigeons in Cambridge, the pigeons seem to be heading to their sitty trees at around 3:30. It's not just the stalking that's hard. The actual shot is. As it is up in a tree at an unkown distance you can't just aim directly at it sometimes you need hold over or under and a mill or so to the side depending on wind. I will try the pen idea however. thanks Quote Link to post
Catcher 1 639 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 whats wrong with shooting woodies with an air rifle???? whats right with it.. not hard to shoot somthing that is sleeping in a tree is it.. or having just fed is roosting unable to fly cos its digesting its food.. not sporting and a VERY LAZY WAY TO HUNT!!! but! less Sky pests the better.. Have you ever tryed shooting woodies with an air rifle Quote Link to post
Countrykid 1 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well they are both hard in there own right. With an air rifle you have to judge it right and get to them first. Also with a shotgun you need to judge lead and it's harder with a nice high flying pigeon especially with wind behind it. Let's not compare the two it's two totally different aspects of shooting and shouldn't really be compared.... Quote Link to post

air gunner 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Who in their right mind would come onto a fellow country sports forum and bitch about their sport?!? Feral pigeons yea easy as he'll to get close to woodys?!? Not at all anyone who shoots them with a shotty would know that as bringing them in is hard if your not covered. I think anti comes to mind here.... Quote Link to post

silentshot1 206 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Bit weird, all that anger. A clean shot is a clean shot and both methods of shooting use a specific skill set to achieve the result effectively and humanely. No farmer I know, and I certainly know a few, will complain if the end result is the same! The choice of tool comes down to preference and I choose Air Rifle, partly through choice and partly through pragmatism. That said, I'm going to give the UV pen a bash, I also heard from sib it was worth it! Quote Link to post
apperknowle 3 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Come on Guy's stop the petty arguments. We are all here for one reason and that's because we love to hunt. There's enough pressure and arguments from Anti's, let alone between our hunting communitys. Quote Link to post
