Outdoor Recreation - April 2007

My sister has just moved on to a farm with her fiancee in Devon, UK. She has asked me to help out with pest control as they have seeds to be planting as well as chickens, and I have always been keen on target shooting (.22 only).

Bearing this in mind, which gun should I go for- a .22 air rifle, so I don't have to worry about licensing, a .22 rifle, so I'd have to get a firearms license, or a small-bore shotgun (shotgun license).

I imagine my main targets would be crows, foxes and maybe rabbits? Any advice? Thanks!

PS, whilst I was of average merit at target shooting I've never shot outdoors or over 25 yards- keep this in mind with humane kills/ accuracy!

Thanks
