It's a dog and bird episode of our weekly programme. On the bird front, we join ace airgunner Frank Underdown to learn how to bring in pigeons to decoys and shoot them with an airgun. We also have expert Mike Yardley to teach us about the history of pheasant shooting. And for dog lovers everywhere, find out how your highly-trained companion can retrieve you a brand new car worth £20,000. That's what happened to one dog handler at the Midland Game Fair. Watch our programme - we're the antidote to BBC Countryfile.

That is actually quite alarming, I had no idea :O. I heard an interview with Jude Law the other day talking about the state of mental illnesses in the UK and he said, 'Not to be stero-typically British and stay hush-hush, but honestly - it's just something that's not discussed. If my best friend were seeing a therapist I would have no idea, it's that private'. I found that saddening that there may be people who need help that are afraid to even ask for it!

There is no minimum FPS but most people consider 11.9fps to be OK at the right range while you are unlikely to get close enough to use a 5.9fps air pistol

your talking about ft/lb he is on about feet per second, fps. 11.9 feet per second wont kill anything nevermind a rabbit. yeah i love the show btw and i think it is amazing, cheers, a fellow uk countryman!

Air pistols work quite well actually in .22 and .25 with 10-15 cm barrels. I've cleanly taken large grey squirrels and cottontails on numerous occasions. It depends entirely on your stallking capabilities - and having the proper setup. I am only able to do this on my own property as 'pest control' otherwise I would extend my ranges but I have yet to find a permission in my area to do so.

@MacDonaldSeumas 11 жыл бұрын

60-80 yards, an FAC air rifle would probably be a better choice than a 12 ft/lb one since the best range you'll have is 40 yards. Daystate, BSA, Air Arms, Weirauch are good manufactures and for pest control an PCP (Pre-charged Pneumatic) air rifle would be a good choice. With an FAC rifle, .22 would probably be the best choice.

@Xiderpunk 11 жыл бұрын

60-80 yards is really at the extreme range for air rifle shooting, it is possible if you are an expert and well practised marksmen however there would still be a high risk of wounding birds by incorrectly placed shots. You could set a simple hide up at around 30-40 yards? Bare in mind you will be shooting at a target of about half an inch (the kill zones of head or shoulder). I shoot a Weihrauch springer with a 3-9x40 scope in .22 cal, it is more than enough for any vermin species.

How is Frank Underdown doing? It was this episode that piqued my interest in airguns. Since then I've got about 7 with the Benjamin Marauder .25 being my pride and joy.

To bad our U.K. friends aren't allowed a means of protection with a concealed firearm. I take comfort in being able to do so here in the States. Been carrying for 5 years now and am so thankful it has never even been necessary, as a very last resort, to have to use it.

I'm sorry to write this on such an old post but I thought it was applicable. I have only ever shot rabbits with a .22 air rifle but I am thinking of getting a .177 and starting Field Target shooting as a hobby, considering this, do you think that I could use the same .177 rifle for Field Target as I could for hunting? I suppose the main question is, is .177 an acceptable size for rabbits at lengthy ranges?

Could someone answer a few questions for me, please? I am having a bit of a problem with wood pigeons in my garden - we have a large vegetable patch - and would like some advice on airgun shooting. The range I would be shooting from is roughly 60-80 yards and I am a fairly good shot from my experience on other people's rifles but I am clueless when it comes to what brands to buy/pellet calibres/rifle power/scopes etc. if someone could get back to me I would be most grateful.

yeah we can just go out and buy air rifles of 12ft/ibs without any license .we can have better ones but to get them we need a fire arms license. which is a lot of hassle and expense,and takes a long time.daft isnt it. our laws are over the top.i think we should be able to have any airgun, a .22lr,or a 3 shot shotgun without too much bother at least.

Ignorant to assume we're not allowed any guns. We are allowed any shotguns or bolt action rifles with the correct licenses, just not handguns and semi/full autos. I know we're restricted, but lots of British people own and hunt with rifles and shotguns.
