wigeon jim Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 (edited) Anyone tried the red/green laser dot sights? Edited September 28 by wigeon jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Wouldn't shining a bright red laser dot on a pigeons head make it fly away ? Also holding it steady would be pretty tricky let alone zeroing it .it would have to be fitted above the bore instead of the scope to be of any real use .

oldypigeonpopper Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 yes but only for 10 to 20 yard range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigeon jim Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 I’ve shot over 100 feral pigeons in grain sheds using a scope mounted light it’s just not a very clear scope even in daylight, just need a better scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 OK. Then try a a fixed mag scope either a 4x40 or 6x44 that should be nice and bright as a fixed mag transmits more light than a zoom scope as there are less lenses to go through . A 3-9 x50 will draw a fair amount of light set on 3x especially if its a half decent bit of glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't the brightest of birds and a laser be it red or green just doesn't seem to bother the vast majority of them. Logical I suppose as no other bird than the one shot is going to see it and the one shot is not going to learn or teach by experience unless it can communicate it to others from the beyond. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
