caeser Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 You'll be able to save loads on cartridges now. You don't even need your shotgun anymore. Air rifle in the hide, a tin of pellets, and away you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) did you think if you did not hit it where your pellet may have gone not safe shooting in my eyes Well as my garden backs onto about 150 acres of my permission with the nearest house in that direction around 3 miles away ,I did a quick mental calculation a thought every one was safe from my 177 pellet , If I decide to go centre fire I will let you know so you can save your worring for other peoples unsafe acts,you need to lighten up mate and not automatically think everyone but yourself knows nothing about what they are doing Edited September 22, 2011 by fenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I was out in the garden this evening having a bit of practice with the airgun,when I had a bunch of about 50 or 60 woodies just saunter past so I thought what the hell got one in my sight gave it loads of lead and let one fly ------------- result one stone dead pigeon about 40 yards away !,sent the dog to collect it and could not belive I had put a pellet straight through its noggin !! Bet I cant do that again in a hurry. Bet most everyone would have a go, given the right circumstances as in your case.Wonder what all would rate their chance of hitting one they aimed for. Probably greater than 50/50 I bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
