  1. Well done. I've read all your recent posts on your pigeon shooting exploits. I'm not exactly sure how long you've been shooting your semi auto but you seem to be getting on well with it. Just goes to show that a top class shot can shoot anything. Ps. I hope I've still got your desire and opportunity to shoot pigeons when I reach my eighth decade.
  2. Barney looks like he's spotted another one. Sounds like a great little session. Thanks for the write up.
  3. Great to see you posting again about your days out. You have a wealth of knowledge , I've been shooting pigeons for just over 30 years and can still learn stuff from your write ups. Thanks.
  4. Thanks for the kind comments everyone. Im not keen on shooting under wires normally but thought it better than my other option of standing next to a wasp nest.
  5. Found a nice little line on Wednesday. Stepped on a wasp nest finding a place to hide. Got stung , dog got stung worse. Not a good start . The fields erupted with pigeons after my first shots.Shot really well for the first half hour,then my shooting got progressively worse. Nice short session though managed 32 pigeons in 2 hours. Using Hull superfast pigeon 29g 6 .
  6. Thanks WalkedUp. I think the second bird often flaring away is a extremely difficult shot to get. I just save the cartridge now unless a nicer shot presents itself.
  7. Rooks and Jackdaws were hitting a maize clamp . It' was difficult to shoot at the clamp so I decided to try and shoot them on their flight line to it. Put some decoys on a ploughed field under the line. Shot 103 in total in 7 hours . Camera battery died after 4 hours.
  8. Sounds perfect. My kind of shooting.
  9. Your videos are great Big Al. I use a hero 3 + and use the narrow setting. I think any other setting makes every target look further than they are. Though you do need to make sure its pointing correctly .I'm sure you will do a better job than me . Keep the videos coming.
  10. I've shot pigeons over winter linseed many times. Keep your eye on it.
  11. Great shooting both of you. I loved the low incoming grouse like shots. You made them look easy. Not sure what setting you use on your go pro but I find the narrow fov setting is the best .
  12. Thanks Scully.I was very fortunate to be invited on such a great shoot.
  13. I don't think the shotkam alters the way I shoot. I guess because a pheasant will keep its line the same after the first shot miss, means you can go back and have another go with the second barrel. Unlike a pigeon which will usually take off on a new path after the bang. I often dont fire the second barrel after a clean missed first barrel pigeon when flightline shooting. I think that the following the bird down thought only enters my head, when I can see I've killed it. Interesting comment though. I'd not thought about. Thanks for the comments everyone. No. You only see it in the video footage.
  14. A busy drive from last season. My brother was stood on the peg to my right, so there was a bit of poaching going on. We were stood with a dam wall at our backs, so it was sometimes difficult to get a second shot or follow the birds down.
  15. Yeah they were up there. Yea they are so much faster than the pigeons I'm used to. I tried to stretch the lead a bit more.Thanks JDog, hope your well. Thanks . 34g no 4. Thanks Konnie
  16. A few pheasants from last season. Most were too good for me.
  17. Wow. Though it looked more like 10 . Very tight pattern.
  18. Approximately what range was the clay pigeon at?
  19. Thankyou for posting your shoot reports in great detail every week. I really enjoy reading them.👍
  20. Thanks for the kind comments. I went out last week at the same spot and fired 19 cartridges for 5 pigeons. There was a strong breeze blowing . It was like trying to shoot a cigarette paper in the wind.That's my excuse anyway. All the video evidence has now been deleted. 🙂
  21. Good video Big Al. Keep posting them . I enjoy watching them. 👍
