help needed pigeon job


Recommended Posts

hi guys i need your help and advice...

 

i pick my new BSA scorpion T10 up on friday..

 

i have got a permission on a farm but the farmer does not want me shooting into the roofs and damaging it..

 

i dont usually miss but you never know.

 

anyone got any suggestions of how to take them out the roof without the risk of damaging the asbestos roof apart from decoying them..

 

is there a pellet that will kill the birds but not damage the roof?

Most farm buildings are made fromsteel girder frames covered in roof sheets. if you shoot the birds sitting in the web of the RSJ then there is no way of damaging the roof. You have to pick your shots but it beats getting kicked off your permission for causing damage. Alternatively bait them somewhere safe to shoot, i use the muck heap and bait it with corn a few days in advance of shooting. Hope this helps, good luck :thumbs:

has the farmer specifically asked you to get rid of the birds, or are you just doing it for a bit of sport ?

 

if the farmer wants rid of them then put your self together a pigeon trap & let it work for you, only down side is that it will have to be visited daily to despatch any targets...

 

now if its just for sport & the shots aernt safe then dont risk it....

mate i do the same on my farm .. but my roofs are slate ... in main barn like above pick your shots if the girder is behind . go for it .. head or neck all the way

if its inside with shut doors and they cant escape very easy and its sat where i could damage the roof or tractors ect i take the chest , body shot with .22 brings them down a treat .. ive only made one hole in the roof and that was on a part already damaged by wind i missed aiming up at a pigeon about 13 , 15 feet up punched perfect hole through the slate . if you do have a mishap fill hole with black silicone . then chuck dust on it muck from floor hides it a treat ......

What shooting experience do you have, what other guns have you been using prior to getting your new Beeza, what have you been using them for? ie: target shooting or pest control.

I’m intrigued, let us know and you’ll probably get some good advice. ;);)

BAM B40 .22

3X9X50IR mil dot scope

hmm flat heads? what weight and caliber? the punch clean holes in paper but i've found in both calibers they make a luverly slap and lack the nasty end of the biznes below 12fp's..the fabled pellet exploiding still needs an adequate amount of velosisty(AC POWERS) to give the desired fabled effect... same as wad cutters in .177,

 

musket balls are renound for 'most damage' or 'most efective' kill... round head pellets offer the equivelent at legal limits. (and better acuracy as the distance increases).

 

 

 

and yes hunting with airguns is iligal. as is all wild life protected by law as statated in the wildlife and country act. 'part B' states exsept those in the duties of pest control to protect property or public health (or over populations).. e.g. a birrrrion rats eating your farm away etc. DEFFRA offer a list of 'quorry' and methods aloud.. and under which curcumstances you can 'pest control.'

(i think most of us still call it 'hunting' because the skills or practicality of putting a projectile where it needs to be is the same, just the curcumstances' around it have changed.).

 

 

theres a sticky with a linc to the species on the list.. after that your on your own for finding 'special licences' for non listed species...
