walshie 2,804 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Not the air pistol. They aren't powerful enough for the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kal 17 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) A friend of mine owned a Weihrauch HW45 (as well as the HW 97K - Rifle) which used to take pheasants at 20 yards...it was .22 though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaQ_Zdg_i2s I would imagine wood pigeons would be much more tricky.

j j m 6,533 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 id use a catty not a pistol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kal 17 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 id use a catty not a pistol Agree - they're much more fun to shoot. I had a BSA Lightning rifle and a Webley Alecto pistol; but dug out my old Barnet slingshot one day and found I enjoyed the challenge of shooting it far more; + it's much more portable. But shooting wood pigeons would be difficult I think as they spook so easily! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
