    If you’ve shot an area for a number of years it becomes very apparent, a lot of shooters won’t have this knowledge which can work in your favour. 
    I have some great shooting in an area that’s not too far from a town/housing. I think it’s because those areas can hold pigeons all year round feeding in parks and gardens etc, and have learnt where there may be a food source at certain times of the year. 
    Fingers crossed those fields provide you with plenty more shooting! 

    too true, been on the land for 20 years now

    tks all for comments

    Lovely bag, I’m yet to go over the 100 mark this year. Always goes down as a good day when you do! 
    I know what you mean ref the fields, some fields will produce and others left untouched even in the same area. 
    Over the years you certainly learn where those fields that the pigeons like are, and get excite me when the right crops end up in said fields! 

    i know what you mean about the right fields with the right crops in. i think these fields on the edge of a village are going to produce a lot of birds. time will tell.

    Just finished a nice day on the peas, it was a bit cold but i never miss a chance to get out shooting. birds came on + off all day and i ended up on 107. first time on the peas this year and hoping it continues as good as this. strange how some peas get hit and others seem to get left alone. all in the chiller now waiting to get picked up.

    I would suggest that you get the gun serviced/tuned before spending cash on a scope, never known a 35 to have a particularly harsh recoil and cutting the barrel down may have caused the problem? 

    food for thought, tks

    thanks for the insight guys, i will look into it a bit more and see what i can find at an acceptable price.

    my hw35 used to have a 22" barrel but was cut down and re-crowned sometime i the eighties by a good smith

    makes it a lot more nimble in the woods.

    Hi

    iam loking to resurect and old hw35 i bought when i was 16 (40+ yrs ago).

    it has a 1 piece mount and an old unknown brand of scope on it.

    what i do remember is that it destroys scopes that are not up to the job.  (with the recoil.)

    how highup the scope range do i need to be looking nowadays to find something that will not die in a month ??

    have seen a few advertised, such as a leupold fixed 6x42, will it survive ?

    any suggestions ?

    tks

    good point about raising the seat height a bit, i may try that. i remember after a real busy day on the peas last year the back of my legs
