Hi All, Been following Pigeon Watch for some time, but this is my first post. Think the site is very interesting with many good tips and much usefull info. A big well done to all involved!! A brief history; I grew up on a farm and have shot since I was a teenager. Then moved to town and kind of lost track a bit, then a mate got me back into clay shooting, then I progressed to lamping rabbits and go as often as I can/the Mrs will allow. I want to get back into pigeon shooting again as I had many happy days out when I was around 20. I have just moved back into a village in South Northants, (imagine my delight when I realised that my neighbour is the wife of the late Archie Coates!), am lucky enough to have a 3/4 acre orchard, and have just bought a BSA lightning with the intention of popping a few pigeons/rabbits/squirrels that are ever present around my plot. I also have 2 Baikal 12 bores, one SBS, one O/U (shoot with this all the time and have subjected it to all sorts of abuse and all I can say is the Russians must have known how to build their tanks!) and a T Bland & Sons 20 bore double hammer gun. I am looking to start knocking on farmers doors to offer pest control with the air rifle as a foot in the door to a bit of decoying later on. I would like to add a night light to my lightning for bunny/rat shooting, but am not sure what to go for. The cost variance seems massive and I don't want to spend £50 or more on something that won't work. Any one got any advice on which make/how much to look at spending on this please? Thanks. Gus.
