I used to go pigeon shooting years ago with my step father, farmers loved us pigeon shooters back then 25 years ago. I mentioned to my local butcher [a keen shotgun man] that I might get back into pigeons, he said you'll be lucky to get a free shoot these days, nearly all pigeon shoots cost, is this true? I can't imagine paying to shoot pigeons......

Ok guys i'm no H&S expert , but I do run my own company, and deal with risk assesments day in day out [we're tree surgeons] JohnB if I send a copy to you could you post it where relevent, thanks. As Deker rightly says , on site risk assesments are exactly that, I have heard them called 'site specific risk assesments' before. what I will do is knock up two copys, one will be blank the other filled in ie a fictional shoot, i've seen lots of risk assesments over the years and tailor make mine to fit different circumstances. If you see something on my blank risk assesment feel free to

Has anyone heard of this make? I bought a 4x40 scope for my HW99s, the scope was around £30 [that included mounts] and to be honest I don't like it at all, it seems to loose focus/zeroing every time I put the bloody gun down and i'm guessing every time I take a shot? Could anyone reccomend a good scope for this rifle thats under £90, thanks and the less technical the scope the better

Thanks for clearing that up guys

are you at all familliar to 'on site risk assesments' of any kind ? if not i'll draft a copy and Email it to you, you'll have to alter or fill in what applys to you, and your surroundings though, shouldn't be that hard, are you insured? that will be a must if they're asking for a risk assesment.

I know very little about precharged air rifles, I was wondering if they can somehow be filled up with air via a compressor? I'd like a precharged, but get put off by the idea of using a hand pump [which i've heard can take up to an hour to fill a rifle] and i haven't got a clue about the costs involved using a divers bottle, the mere thought of a divers bottle sounds like a huge expence,can anyone put me straight thanks

Travellers and others I might add are stealing a lot of dogs thats for sure, they don't care where they get them from, or what breed they are, any old mut will make £100 these days sold in the free adds etc The dogs you fellas have are very vulnerable, unlike house dogs my guess is you boys with working dogs keep them outside in a kennel its much eaier i'd think to rob a dog from your garden than break into your house, be carefull who you show a litter too or talk about your dogs too, travellers and theives don't walk about with a sign on their heads saying gypsy or theif! crooks tend to

I'm pretty new to air rifle shooting, i'd like a few views on this gun, I recently bought one for pest control, namely rabbits,.Now i'm not a small bloke by far, but i'm finding this gun a bit on the heavy side, and i'm getting much more barrel sway when aiming than I did when I was a kid with my old BSA meteor. Could this just be down to lack of recent shooting practice? I always thought I was a pretty good shot. Another question, what are the best times of day to hunt rabbits, dawn and dusk?

Thanks for the feed back guys, SJM thats the kind of lamp i'm after, does anyone have any recommendations?

Are those little battery lights you can get fitted on scopes any good when night time rabbit shooting? if not what are they for?

thanks guys

Well i've been an air gunner all my life but took a break for nearly 15 years, I have just bought a new air rifle and intend to go pest controlling [ the new pc word for hunting they tell me lol] on a few acres I own.. Next on the list is a few ferrets and nets, by tthe way my new rifle is a HW99'S break barrel springer, i've been running a business for the last 15 years and have now decided its time for ME..
