ack ack Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Thanks for all your resposes and welcomes. I'm still pondering what to get but it sure is an immense but fascinating subject. I'll keep watching the forum from up here in the North East which is unusually sunny today. Just a thought, when crop fields have just been cut do pigeons feed on the stubble? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulABF Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Welcome to the forums mate. Once you're up and running and fancy hitting some rabbits give me a shout. You're more than welcome to come with me to my permission in N Yorks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack ack Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Just returned from a trip to Aberdeen and picked up your kind invite. Much appreciated. I'm expecting to receive my cert. in the post any day now and will then pick up a shotgun. To date I've only shot rabbits with a .22 weirauch 100 air rifle up to 40 yds. but have used shotguns and rifles up to 7.62 calibre for other reasons e.g. disposed of two bulls on two separate occassions, legally using 180 grain 7.62 (interesting!). What sort of range would you reasonably expect to cleanly shoot rabbits with a 12g using a no. 6 or other suitable cartridge? (That's assuming the shooter is competent of course). Thanks again for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
