Pigeon Muncher Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 So as a newbie just reading away here, I think I might be right to assume a BSA lightning would perhaps be the airgun of choice but what about a low budget starter shotgun?

shotgun666 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) they are bomb proof if you look after them,,, another great gun to get is the hw80k,buy one of these and it will last you a life time :good:i prefere side by side 12 gauge,but a lot of shooters say its easier to shoot the over and under,and you can pick a few up cheap on here.100pound + Edited August 25, 2009 by shotgun666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you intend to seriously shoot wood pigeons, then I would recommend you buy a shotgun. Any reasonably priced multichoke, 12 bore, under and over will do the job very well. Airguns are fine around farm buildings, but lose their effectiveness when hide shooting over crops (which 90% of pigeon shooting is). Its also much easier to get the Farmers permission if you have a shotgun, than just an air rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Muncher Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 To be honest, the thought of an air rifle never even crossed my mind until coming on this forum. I just suppose it makes sense to have both weapons, as you say, so you can deal with pests in out-buildings and perhaps the more enjoyable side of the sport, outdoors too. Thanks for the advice.
