hello, what make of shotgun did you get? fixed or multi choke? i expect your pattern shot to open for short range but the choke used for longer range was i expect full with no 7 carts, try some 39grm 5/6

39grm... Hoping thats a typo. You'd snow globe them with that kind of load.... Did you mean 30grm.

Thanks it's a fixed choke! It's a french 75

hello, thats an oldy, S/S, it should have all the relevant marking under the barrels cartridge end, take a photo and put on here or you should find info on google reference FRENCH 75 choke markings, i would hazard a guess your right barrel has an open choke and left full choke that is why you can get a much longer range maybe even half/full, if it were me i would try a different cartridge for crows, 29g 5s,

I was just shooting a few crows over decoys today I was using 7 36g cartridges and I seemed to miss the easy ones but was able to hit the further one? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Possibly you're 'seeing' the lead you need to give the birds when further away, and adjusting more. I regularly miss jackdaws at under 20 yards, but am a lot better at 40 yards.

Any tips for shooting these close birds? Thanks Edited by HunterFarmer

I cant hit clays for toffee I think its the expectation of them coming out and thinking through what I have to do. Far better with the gun on pests where the shot is for me more instinctive with less thinking time.

Thanks I'm actually practiceing on crows and jackdaws at the moment!
