dairy21 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hi, I have only recently started shooting and got my license back in Feb, I go up to Ian Coleys ground most saturdays and have some traps of my own on the farm o practice with. I am still really enjoying my clay shooting but would also like to start shooting pigeons. So really I just wanted some tips as I literally have no idea where to start other than where to shoot. Living in Somerset we don't really see many pigeons compared to other places that I've heard about and watched on youtube but we do have 60 acres of Maize ground that we are prepping at the minute. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDRsniper Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Maize can be a fruitfull crop for pigeons, it's best after harvest though. So much information on this forum and I would suggest trawling through the shooting tips and read as much as you can, especially where it's relevant to Maize, hide building, decoy layout etc. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only in Bristol and could meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
