Heladoxa Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Is this the same magazine that had the article by the expert who said OK to shoot foxes with a .22 air rifle? Not doing very well are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Pond Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Is this the same magazine that had the article by the expert who said OK to shoot foxes with a .22 air rifle? Not doing very well are they? yes i remember that....apart from being cruel and totally ineffective iam sure under the wildlife and countrysude act it would be illegal. Perhaps it was a misprint....does no favours for aigunners. The mag seems interesting enough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an enormous thread following it when it was pointed out. I will give the info if I can find it. The mag is interesting though Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing very well are they? Hello James, This is the thread about the expert who said that he had used a .22 air rifle to shoot foxes. Somebody wrote to the magazine and they said in their defence that he had said, 'in the right circumstances'. Still, the perceived message has gone out that it is ok to shoot foxes with an air rifle http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...howtopic=113514 And to the Guy who didn't get his freebies, ring the magazine and complain bitterly. They will probably say stop your automatic subscription and join each year. I did that with an airgun mag, and I finished up with three 'survival knives'.
