I been using my bangers to scare them.

Scares them very well. To well sometimes, oops.

Issue with that, is the same brigade who want shooting banned also want fireworks and loud noises banned. So you can guarantee you're going to get noise complaints and have to stop. That's the problem with gas guns etc. Expensive to run, only shift the problem temporarily to the next field, the birds can get used to it, and the neighbours / nimby's, anoraks will be up in arms about the noise. You have to remember, the countryside should be quiet for those rich urban commuters. They paid all the money for those houses to kick the yokels out so they could hear the crickets and bees, not tractors, combine harvesters, dogs, sheep, guns, etc. Non of those belong in the countryside, not when you have money.

YES

What a pi** poor outfit, a magazine that ponders the 'future' of grouse moors (@ £100 a bird), yes of course that's you and me 'two gunning' in the butts NOT.

They are about to feel the cold rush of the pigeon shooter that only joined to get the insurance.

BASC you may be making some regional 'executives' REDUNDANT, best get ready for a minimum wage job flipping burgers?

And not too soon.

      Hi, 
      I've recently moved to St Neots, Cambridgeshire and looking for an area or a bit of land where the owner requires help with pigeons etc. This is solely for fun and not my full time job. 
       
      Please let me know, if you or someone you know would let me shoot a few pigeons/rats for them in this sort of area.
       
      Many thanks 
      Tom

      Morning all
       
        Apologies if this has been covered previously, I have obviously missed it if it has been.
         I would just like to ask if anyone has given the A-TEC shot gun silencer a real test on the pigeons ( Full day). If you have can you let me know how it effected your shooting, if at all, or did you get to grips with it quite quick. I would be looking to use standard 32g no6 loads.
        The permission we currently shoot is shrinking rapidly due to new housing estates popping up so I am looking at all options with a view to upsetting as few people as possible. I would also be looking to use on Geese if they are OK , and I am aware that they recommend a max load of 43g through the A-TEC.
          Thanks in advance

      Hello, I've recently moved to the Norfolk area and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to getting permission to shoot on some local landowners land. I'm from and currently serve in the british army and know how to shoot well with my own kit. I do have some hunting experience and i'm also a BASC member to which comes with insurance. Any help would be appreciated.

      Just been out for my first experiance pigeon shooting with a shooting friend of mine,  had an awesome evening although I’m told it was a quiet one! And definitely got the bug.
      Got me wondering though, what are people’s experiences with their gun dogs and long term exposure to the noise.  Have any of you more experienced hunters seen any effects of this or found a way to protect their canine partners whilst on the shoot? 
      Looking forward to hearing some experiences from folks. 
      Cheers
