[Sporting anyone??]

Most grounds now charge minimum £30 to shoot 100 registered Sporting.

 

At Doveridge yesterday I paid £34 for 100 birds, which included a £2 levy to the West Midlands branch of the CPSA.

 

When you add in the cost of the shells, plus about £60 in fuel for the Range Rover on the 220 mile round trip, it sure ain't a poor mans sport..!!

 

Perhaps I shoud stick to shooting the real Pigeons, it's a heck of a lot cheaper..!!

i myself know it can be done i practice at 45 yards as its too easy to hit a small target at30-35 yards with .22 pcp rifle its easier so well done if your doin it with a spring rifle.

hi all first post if going for the a bsa go for the hornet around same price but will give you 100 full power shots easy i shoot 1 best gun ive ever used only downside is the gun holds 232 bar so will need 300 bar bottle to get full charge and sometimes the diver centre cant charge it that high but very accurate and consistant shot time and time again.
