Nice one Mark well done!

Hi looking for a newer version of the above. I have the 12th edition. cheers

Your showing off now!

Now that is impressive!

I’m not so sure. I think it was an investarm?

No it was with my first ever gun. A Lanber with 2 3/4” chambers and 36grams of lead shot 3s.

It wasn’t the most sporting shot to be fair. The sport lay in the stalk then when I looked over the dyke they jumped and I fired. I was that astonished to see so many drop I forgot my second barrel. 6 was more than enough though!

Yes it’s been through a few hands before I got it, some well know fowlers up here have had it at some point. Multiple shots? I once had 5 teal to one shot, and I stalked and killed 6 pinks with one shot on a stubble.

It it a Ithaca mag 10.

It was raining when I woke and given this season I have taken more than my fair share of soakings I went back to bed. As always when I don’t get out in the morning I spend the rest of the day getting under my wife’s feet and wishing I had went out. When she said it’s not to rain this afternoon why don’t you go out. The words had barely left her mouth and I was getting the gun out of the cabinet. I had no expectations as I headed to the big estuary as the tide was going to be dropping. No sooner had I settled down at my usual spot then 9 mallard came over me. My first shot dropped 2 then my next shot also dropped 2. One was a runner and gave the dog a run around until it tired and the dog got him. After that I went off the boil shooting wise, missing a good few shots and loosing a teal to the tide which was frustrating. It wasn’t until darkness that some form came back to me. I managed to add a teal and a greylag. It was a heavy walk back the mile or so to the car.

Many thanks for explaining that. My problem was I wasn’t converting fps in to mps.

Please forgive my ignorance… but how do you work out the mass of the shot?

True!

It still had 10 - 15 mins to go till high
