I have posted a similar question elsewhere but as I am interested in pigeon shooting I will ask here as well.
I am looking to buy my first gun a Beretta silver pigeon, but getting conflicting advise on which is best a sporter for all round shooting or a more focused game gun.
I hope to join my father in law pigeon shooting and build skills on the clay ground. I hope to find some rought shooting as I am currently training a dog.
Is a sporter ok or a game gun more appropriate ...or does it not realy matter?

OK, another question. I have a problem with Pigeons in my back garden. The garden is quite large and backs onto farmland at the back and one side. I wouldn't feel safe using my 12 bore in the garden but what do people think about using a .410? I have seen reviews of the Mossberg moderated .410 and it looks interesting. Anyone have any experience of this? Any good for woodys?

The hushpower stuff works OK and the 410 will knock them over.
Another option, and one I would prefer, is an air rifle. Far less risk if you have nieghbours though you stll have to take steps to ensure the pellet does not cross your boundaries.
