Ozzy Fudd Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Finally did the 3 kills for 3 shots today with the mossy 500 :( i did it a few times before with the benelli semi auto, but this is the first time with a pump action; i can do pairs easily enough but never managed the magic number so i was sitting in the hide today and the place was dead. i could see plenty of birds on the surrounding hills, but nothing within 600 yards, so decided to go stretch the legs and have a pee while nothing was about. wed set up the hide about 30 feet in front of some trees so i lifted the gun and walked towards them, lighting a cigarette as i went (need that alan carr dvd asap guys). so i was standing fumbling with the drawstring on the waterproofs when i looked behind me to my right and saw 3 pigeons hovering over the decoys, about 35 yards back. i was that shocked i couldnt help shouting "**** ME!" and drawing attention to myself i spun round and raised the gun as they started to move, when i was facing them they were going to my left, so i dropped the one furtherest out, which made the other two double back infront of me. i swung onto the second one, which was a bit closer, bang, dropped him right on top of the hide automatically pumped the 3rd shell in, but wasnt expecting to get the 3rd - he'd been flying faster and was now trying to gain height, so the branches would obscure my view in about a second. swung onto himj ust as he disappeared behind a branch, so i kept swinging on the trajectory he'd been on, hoping id maybe get a shot, next thing i came to a break in the branches and there he was! i pulled slightly further ahead of him and pulled the trigger just as he disappeared behind another bunch of leaves. put quite a nice hole through the branch and the leaves, thought id missed him for a second then i heard the thump of him hitting down behind the trees so im still grinning now. it wasnt the best of days, we only ended up with 5 crows (between 3 farms), 13 pigeons overall and picked up 10 (which are cooking now), but i got my first 3/3 with a pump, and also got a new permission earlier this morning, so happy days!

LeeinVA Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Now that you are an accomplished gunner you might want to stretch the range to around 100 yards Fullbore does it all the time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Now that you are an accomplished gunner you might want to stretch the range to around 100 yards Fullbore does it all the time.. 136 yards with a 22lr and 70 yards with a shotgun are my record but i suppose if i went for a .17hmr i could stretch it to 500 yards??

throdgrain Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I did one pigeon with three shots with my 870 the other day It's **** obviously, but it does prove how quickly you can cycle a pump action if you want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
