Personal best!

It is a pretty good area for pigeons. I think it all just came together for that day. Not many stubbles of any kind are left, and there were easy pickings on that field. Still shot far more than I would have ever expected.

Outstanding day that. You must have huge numbers of birds to shoot that many.

Yes, it's brilliant when a number of circumstances all come together and work in your favour to produce a day like that. Too often they can work against you. You still need to be able to point the gun straight to take advantage of it and you have both obviously been on good form. Were you cream crackered after? I know when I've had big days (not as big as that!) I'm absolutley drained afterwards, not just physically but mentally too. I think keeping your concentration levels up can be exhausting. PC has obviously got this skill too. Fantastic achievement.

I didn't feel too knackered, but it was hard to keep the concentration levels up. It is all too easy to just raise the gun and fire without really focusing on the target.

reconnaissance paid off for Muncher & Motty

them scads of birds must have driven you potty

 

20 deadun's and the magnet too boot

surely this approach would allow us to shoot

 

in they came, tens, twenties, forties & fifties

pulling off some two's & three's was certainly nifty

 

those challenging birds came a minute a time

could not have judged it better under the main flight line

 

suddenly it was a 300 could be on for a personal best

the birds kept coming not a minute to rest

 

at the close of day we took our count

the bag looked huge that's a serious amount

 

a most magnanimous day

it was second to none

 

forever in my memory

the glorious 391
