Do I need to buy a new gun or extra kit to go wildfowling, and is it expensive?

No not at all. It really depends on where you are going and the quarry.

There is ammunition out there for all guns and configurations so you won’t need to buy a new gun, at least to start with.

For those of you with only 23/4” chambers, use Bismuth or Tungsten in the appropriate shot size for the quarry you seek. If you are using the BASC permit scheme, a friendly ‘fowler may lend you a more suitable gun for the flight.

There is definitely equipment that will make you more comfortable when wildfowling. Take a look at our What to Wear when Wildfowling blog to find out more.
