Air guns

[Yarnyankee]

Hi,
Is it still illegal to hunt in PA with air guns? Does the caliber of an airgun ever qualify for extra restrictions above and beyond, say, a .177 BB gun? Is it legal to target shoot on public lands with air guns?
I searched, but couldn't find any recent posts about these. If they have been answered already, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

No air guns for legal hunting in PA. Don't know about target shooting on public land though,I would think if you're not trespassing,& you're being safe & it's not locally restricted you should be ok. We shoot airguns around here all the time & it doesn't seem to bother anyone because most people just look at it as a BB gun & we take precautions so our pellets don't go out of the yard

Laws and regulations vary from township to township on the use of air guns for target shooting. Last I heard it's still illegal to hunt with them. Some places allow them to be used on private property so long as you have a proper backstop so the bbs can't leave the property. Just look up the local township laws where you live.
