Cushat Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Had 2 pigeons with one shot last week, one about 15 yards further out than the other, but they just lined up perfectly as they came in. Shot the first and pulled onto the second only for it to be falling out of the sky already. Sure it's not that unusual, but it made my day!

Devilishdave Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 About two years ago I had quite a strange day. I shot two pigeons with one shot. I continued on my way and shot two rabbits with one shot about 15 mins later and I finished off droping two cubs with one cartridge. I say it was strange because I can go a whole season and never shoot two creatures with the same shot. I hadn't even seen the second pigeon that droped to the first shot. I might add I shot a few other rabbits, and pigeons with single shots as well. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Pair of incoming dropping clays. Missed the first one with the first barrel and broke both with the second barrel. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Have you noticed that when you shoot at one pigeon over the decoys, and two drop down, the one you meant to kill is a runner and the one you didn't mean to shoot is stone dead?

magman Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 own a gun that shot 32 wigeon with two barrels on the local marsh and it still holds the record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petera Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Have also shot 3 rabbits with one cartridge. However, I have also shot 2 rabbits with my .22 rimfire at about 80 yards. Didn't even see the second smaller rabbit behind the first. This does highlight the danger of the .22 and ensuring there is a back stop as not only did the bullet go right through the first rabbit it went all the way through the second as well. On a separate note one of my farmers cut his first field of rape on Thursday. 26 pigeons on Friday and 19 yesterday. Didn't use the rotor but used the decoys, flapper and bouncers which brought them in nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Out one day & a Pheasant lifted, bagged it with the first shot, & down it came. Went over & picked it up, lying under it was a Hare, the Pheasant had landed on top of it & knocked it out, & that's not all, underneath the Hare was 1/2lb of Mushrooms, beat that one........................... On a more serious note, two Rab's with one bullet out the 22. BJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 In the same season, 2x pinks with one shot, 2x goldies with one shot, 1 mallard and 1 wigeon with one shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 7 Golden Plover with one shot, 2 x greylag a couple of times, 3 x teal once, 2 x teal several times, 2 x pintail once, 2 x wigeon twice, 2 x mallard twice, 2 x grey partridge several times (in the good 'ol days), 2 x woodpigeon several times. All the above were from pairs or flocks of birds and all accidental, i.e no browning (okay I'll admit to flock shooting the goldies!). Most unusual was a nice high right to left woodie when roosting, the shot also knocked down a nice even higher left to right crosser far behind it . Just like doubling up from the skeet towers but at a much greater range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate hunter Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 i have shot two pheasants with 1 shot two ducks with 1 shot and a pheasant and a partridge with 1 shot. has anyone else heard of that English guy who shot two woodcock with one shot and he was a sculptor and made a sculpture of them both falling with it engraved: ' shot by a sculptor, sculptured by a sportsman.' or sommit like that. i think thats pretty amazing.

Wookie Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Managed to get two clays with one shot the other week. A good job really as I had missed the first one and it helped my scoare along just that little bit extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeboy Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've shot 2 rabbits with one 30g cartridge e few times but the best was 2 collared doves with one pellet from my S410 at about 20 yards. Both were sitting on the ground. I aimed at the closest one and fired, it went straight over and so did the second bird which was about 1 yard past the first and about a foot and a half to the left. To say I was well pleased would be an understatement ! Leeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning GTS Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ive had 2 pigeons with one shot once. 2 crows with one shot twice. The last 2 were 1 week apart last summer. in both cases i was after the closest one and then noticed another drop behind it, the first one must have been a fluke caus` it must have been a least 45-50 yards out.
