cynergydtl Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Decided to leave the sport of clay shooting and do a bit more pigeon shooting. What would say is the most suitable shotgun for pigeon shooting?. I have access to 100 acres and normally shoot alone, so would a semi auto be a good choice? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codling99 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 personal choice mate,i love and own a semi auto,but some prefer o/u ,basically whatever you shoot best with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Semi's are good guns- and the 3 shots come in handy at times, but it gets annoying picking up the spent cartridges. I like o/u's personally also a 12 bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like o/u's personally also a 12 bore :blink: Single barrel black powder hammer .410 - I like a challenge.... Only kidding. I have gone back to my trusty Beretta Silver Pigeon after using a Breda semi. I just seem to hit more. Jonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning GTS Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I love side by sides check bottom of page I found with a semi the problem is finding all the emptys, like if you do any walking along hedges after the bunnys almost impossible to find them ( spent carts not the bunnys) no good if you do not like to leave a mess behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I would use your gun that you shoot clays with, if you can shoot well enough to be contemplating shooting live quarry with it then it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio1ham Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 i know il get slated for this but here goes anyway why not use the gun you have been using for clays if you own that gun no doubt you hit the clay pigeons with it so why not use if for shooting pigeons my o/u is a clay trap gun and gets used for everything from pigeon,rabbit,fox, crows and geese now never actually shot clays before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
