Which is better Air gun or shotgun for pigeons Only saying like

I'm sure our expert, and resident pigeon basher Mark will be along in a minute to help you out, it's all down to how you hide.

Yes, when they are on the new buds it is the same. If you can find a tree that is ahead of the rest so they concentrate on that you can have some good sport. Same in winter if there is a snow fall. Fi

Tonight's tea was home grown pigeon. The one I shot last night.

I cut the breasts into strips and fried it in veg oil with a crushed garlic clove and two fried eggs (also home grown).

Fantastic. The texture was like rump steak. It was lovely.

Now i need to get the other one.

In an 11.5 ft-lb air rifle the pellets would end up like an old sixpence if shot at a tin can. The pellets don't go through tin roofs. With rats and ferals they dropped them stone dead, head or chest shots. They aren't as accurate as AA Fields, etc, but I only used them specifically for short range ratting and ferals where I wanted to minimise any risk of damage.

 

This gives an indication what sort of trauma they can inflict.........

A normal AA Field or Express just drills a 5mm hole straight through an apple with a slightly larger exit hole, and in a squirrel's chest ends up like this......

The Noricas are pretty hard to find these days.
