tenbears10 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 what gun have you got now? You only need a shot gun to shoot pigeons. But the list of equipment is endless from there upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 12 bore multichoke over and under. Ex MOD cammo net. 4 hide poles (washing line type) As many decoys as you can afford, but buy shell type first. Make a floater/bouncer or three. Haversack to carry the stuff in. Visit boot fairs and keep you eyes open for cammo clothing, nets, decoys and general bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Get yourself a dog if you dont have one they are good company and keep you warm if its cold.They are also handy for retrieving all the woodies you shoot!!!!! I have 2 black labs and never go shooting without them. Hendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coupe312 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 why start out with a shotgun i started out with a simple air rifle. work just as well? cheaper easyer and no messing with a shotgun cert? cheaper easyer was to get into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) shooting pigeons with a air rifle in a wood or in the garden is ok but shooting over decoys with a air rifle is like ******* in the wind.if they dont land you cant hit them.

invector Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 We all take too much kit, so my advice is to take everything, bar the kitchen sink, then take that just in case!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
