Bluebarrels Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Well most on here think a 28g load aint effective on pigeon so i reckon if hes using a 30/32g load the big silver bird should be okay :lol: :lol: :good: BB And before anyone,jumps on my post im "JOKING" :yes: Edited November 7, 2011 by Bluebarrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 That is superb shooting , it is also surprisingly hard to get the set up so good that birds so regularly land amongst decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I see nothing scary with that. I like the fact he gives the pigeons a chance, rather than shooting them on the ground. I don't give such opportunities to pigeons :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Obviously its hard to assess distance on a video, but I would think if 12g shot is able to travel 300yds, Its getting a bit close for comfort fo me Probably me being too safety concious I don't think it would be possible to shoot that close to heathrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Um... I think, even with a pair of ear defenders, you'd hear an aeroplane coming in to land. If you can't spot it, you've not got a hope in hell of shooting a pigeon. Seriously guys... Shooting close to an airport? I've shot on the boundary of Luton Airport. You just get the armed police watching you. Puts the pressure on a bit more Edited November 7, 2011 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts the pressure on a bit more Big difference in shooting away from the airport have a look on the basc website,and see how far no6 shot can travel the shot doesnt need any power behind it,crossing the airport boundry is enough to land you in hot water good luck on keeping your SGC, sounds like your going to need it :yes: BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 the only thing scary is the time he must take picking his spent carts up. KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishermanpaddy Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think as long as hes not shooting at planes its safe enough If anything hes pulling potential hazards away from the airport airspace by banging them out of the sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thats was super shooting fair play, big thumbs up from me. :good: :good: Though i did think it was a little close to the airport. Don't think they would allow over here. :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
