Jamie93 57 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Just wondering if many people pigeon decoy and use an air rifle? Is definitely something I'm thinking of trying. Any tips? Jamie93 Quote Link to post

steve_7 10 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 tried it once crop had been harvested, found a nice hedgerow ,tucked myself well inside and set up deeks, i did it in a V with point of the V nearest me and the furthest at my 40 yard range, in no time there was interest and popped one over a nice clean headshot, next 15 minutes had a few fly by and couldnt work out why they wouldnt land.... wasnt long before we spotted a buzzard homing in on our deeks and nothing came close while he was stood there waiting... was good fun,something new but gamekeepers laughed at me making hard work of it and talked me into getting a sgc which i have now got....sure was fun though so give it a go :-) Quote Link to post

j j m 6,551 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 A air rifle is all I use,it does a good job on the pigeons with a few decoys out and a good hide Quote Link to post

birdshooter1 0 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Bag size doesnt seem great, but the fun of decoying pigeons with air rifles is un beatable. Quote Link to post
