Just to clear things up, shooting with a shotgun does not take the sport out of shooting. Far from it, I would challenge anyone to shoot a single pigeon flying at 50 feet at 60mph with an air rifle. As good as impossible. I live on a farm and have been shooting since I was a boy. Air rifles are for stalking small prey, like (roosting) pigeon, rabbits, rats and magpies. A shotgun for hares, rabbit, pigeon and foxes. Rifles for foxes and deer etc. There are legal requirements as to what calibre and what type of round you can use to kill certain animals also.
Next time I am having a clay pigeon shoot you can come to mine with your air rifle, I'll give you 100 clays and if you hit a single one then you can have my gun collection, I am that confident you couldn't do it. So stop thinking shotguns are easy.
Each are designed for a specific purpose and are best at what they are designed for.
My new toy is a bow, not hunting with it yet, still learning it and using target arrows, but takes a lot more skill than any of the guns.
