Hard work was a understatement Mark, there's a big score out there depending on the wind. It will be won on 95 96 I think. Well shot today..

Still got the drainpipe Gareth, just been suffering with a few recoil problems. The cg is ok, no recoil is the main reason I'm shooting it.

How did it go today Mark / Gareth ? ...I thought my days was going to be a waste of time . When I got to the spot where the flight line was running at 9.30am I thought happy days..got kit out and started to walk down when suddenly I could hear shooting on the next field!
Someone had already set up a was going well so I decided not to be an arse and set up as I would of cut them off .
Drove round for a bit and couldn't find much moving so went and stood up by a clump of trees and by luck I managed to get a bit of sport , nothing fast and furious but some good shooting and some testing birds ...ended up with 42

well we set off out at 6.45am this morning i left gareth in a hide over the field from me ...things were slow his side off the field but for me i shot 20 birds in from 8am to about 9.30 ish .. :hunter:
around 12.ish i spoke to welsh wizard and he packed his kit up and i picked him up and we both shot from my hide..after a slow sell from 1pm the pigeons started to come in and we sterted to knock a down ...by 3pm we were shooting every 3 or 4 mins and having some good sport as wind was blowing strong from behind us and pigeons were whipping over trees and straight in decoys.
the magnet was the key player today as the bit of movement made them come in well..
he is waiting!!
he is hiding...

Very nice to shoot with and smooth on the cycling of next cartridge unlike the Beretta autos I tried which seemed very clunky to me .
I'm sure you will enjoy using your new Sx3

Well done guys. Great report and brilliant pictures. You picked a good day for it too.
I love the one of Gareth standing and looking over the hide. Most people would be sitting. Is he really that short?? :biggrin:

Well done lads seems like you all had a bit of fun, I was thinking about you this morning, weather was good for it, nice breeze, maybe a touch to bright this morning though.
Hoping to get to grips with some myself again soon
I'd rather shoot 50 ish pigeons compared to 250 average pheasants any day of the week
Got some big flocks of Canada's coming in on the **** about 400 ish when I looked at em though the binocs, ( farmers doing his nut )
Got the decoys ready to go first light in the morning along with a caller a mate made for me ( it's bloody deadly )
Last time out managed 24, all over by 8,30, must remember to give em more lead than you would think ( one flap of the wings carries them 9 ft through the air ) hard to miss em when they commit to the decoys like a pigeon, but easy to miss when they turn on to the wind after 1 st barrel goes off, great fun though, and could do with some bait for the harder to get foxes to come to

I'm waiting hmm
He's pinched my box
he's standing on my box :laugh:
Looks like you had some fun to Robo glad you got a few Hampshire poacher :thumbsup:
I to feel the same as you lads that pigeon shooting is the No 1 pitting your wits against the crafty woody and using your field craft to set up hide and pattern to draw them in..they can present some of the best challenging shots you'll ever take and never be able to replicate with a clay .....
Best of luck today Ashley shoot well ...
Topdog I maybe short 5'4" but you know what they say " we're all the same size laying down " :laugh: look forward to meeting you some day will miss you at the classic as your shooting it Saturday with Ashley and Mark and I are shooting it on the friday perhaps you may come up for the white gold challenge ?

Hi Shortlegs, it clearly doesn't matter what height you are when you can knock those pigeons down like you do. Well done! Sounds like you had a great day.
Shame about missing you at The Classic. Don't suppose you guys would go to the SW Game Fair at Shepton Mallet next month? :biggrin:

Hi topdog thanks yes we did have a great day and lots of laughs too we had one blue bugger that we were convinced had a death wish as it came round about 4 times and we put lead all round it but he kept flying......
I did have a think about the game fair it will depend on the weather possibly ? Similar threads
