  • In an episode shot before changes to general licences threw pest bird hunting into chaos, Andy Watkins heads into the woods to shoot pigeons, jackdaws and grey squirrels. The crop-raiding and nest-robbing pests are out in force, and Andy manages to amass a great mixed bag.
    On the test bench this week is the Impact Mk2 from FX Airguns. An updated version of one of the most awesome bullpups on the market, this airgun has a lot to live up to. Tune in to see how it shapes up on the range.

    Matt, whilst it is a sport it’s also a control to support farmers etc, can I urge everyone to support the NO to keep Chris packham petition, he doesn’t understand what he has done and how damaging it is to songbirds, lambs, Corn and wheat etc. Fantastic Andy is on his par, awesome safe and humane shooting.

      Absolutely Stephen - well said. The impact to shooters is tiny compared with the impact to the countryside and people's livelihoods.
      All the best. Mat

      Lets thank the BBC for giving muppets like him a platform. Our licence money pays for these morons. I am not that bothered about the shooting restrictions but, I loath the usual ' we know best so you will do this ' attitude of our establishments.

      Packham knows exactly what he has accomplished. If you thought his goal was wildlife ir habitat, you were sadly mistaken.
      Anyone can tell he wanted support to limit shooting and he could not gain that support by being honest.

      @rob86trott 5 лет назад

      learn how to use your scope and you will know, but really its not hard to zero a scope. first you decide on your distance you want to zero at then take a shot at a target. let's say your high and right so you will adjust the cross hairs up and right then take a shot. see where your at then adjust again, when you think your on target aim at a set point and shoot 5 shots at the same spot . then adjust to the center of that grouping. being able to zero quickly will come with practice but you really want to zero accurately and if it takes time then take your time

    oh my God. You're dressing all up in camouflage and crap and I did this type of shooting back in the days of the 1970s and 80s and I never wore camouflage and walked around whispering. But I shot many pigeons in the day. And that was with a pump action gun that cost less than $30.

      I don't like the look of them either. They are also a good way of getting away with not supplying a decent wood stock for the rifle but still charging a high price. You might as well take your gun out of the stock, stick a piece of plastic to rear of the action, call it a BP and save yourself £1600.00+ .
