If your in Fife in near future drop me a line I can spare you half a kilo. Cheers

I really enjoyed the local conference's BASC put on last year. Pity they aren't doing that again.

Ha, I suspect the tiny snails will be hydrobia that are commonly found on mud flats on estuaries.

Now I have figured out how to upload pictures I can share one or two. This happened last season during a coldish snap we had here. Taking a teal from my dog i was surprised to find the teal had ragworm in its beak. Minutes later I shot another teal which again had rag in its beak. Anyone else encountered this over the years?

I have been on this site for sometime now and i have just figured out how to post pictures! 😁

Nice one Jim. Well done!

835?

Fair point. I did that many years ago when hevi shot was easily bought in gunshops.

Personally I would keep them for geese.

If you have an itch for the whistle scratch it but you will find in time a mallard call is all you needed. I know this from experience buti know where you are coming from. For what its worth look at the 6 in 1 duck calls.

Save your money and get a decent mallard call. All ducks will come in to one in my experience.

Yes that was it, cheers figgy

Was this the reason why some of the eley lightning shells were recalled? I ask I as found a wad from pal shells on Monday and it was unopened. I asked what he was using and he told it was eley lightning steel.

I have handled a Yildiz SxS 3 1/2"and i found it awfully light.

As has been said confidence in the shells you are using is vital. Be it light loads or the heaviest loads it matters not.
