Same here had about 8 all afternoon , to be honest a lot more flew over but too busy gassing, then as soon as we got out of the hide 3 woodies perfect distance straight over the decoys as we were laughing, turned round and at least 200 crows coming right for our pattern. Laughing turned into tears pretty quickly...........t

I have a few different size ones that I have picked up at Boot Fairs or eBay over the years.
All are the heavy duty covered, tilting, fishing brolly/bivvy types.
The smaller ones I use slightly upright (like a mushroom) so I can stand/sit under, with a camo net draped round it, mainly for wet weather and good for crows.
The large ones (50+ ") I use in open fields, or where there is limited back cover.
I set it up on the tilt, the back of the brolly touching the ground, wrap round camo net and I shoot sitting down.
This does give you a forward and side shooting perspective only, but it works well.
These large umbrellas have a fitting that I slide on to the front right and left ribs on the brolly.
I can then screw in thick adjustable bank sticks which make the brolly stable and enable me to lift the front of the umbrella to the height I need.
I can use guy ropes to peg down my brollys, but rarely need them.
A couple of the smaller brollys have guy ropes and pegs built into the top of the brolly.
The fitting are called storm pole attachments, they screw into long bank sticks or 'storm poles' to lock the brolly down and make it stable in strong winds, hence the name.

Hi does anyone have any recomendations for MP3 download sites to use? The standard ones don't give much options and the manufacturers download site seems poor.Hi does anyone have any recomendations for MP3 download sites to use?

Been looking for left handed semi auto and my gun of choice is a berreta and recently just noticed these ehave popped up in l/h actions, just wondered if anyone has any comments on the a400 explor generally? Before I part with my hard earned cash.
Also can't work out if there's two versions or if the shops haven't worked it out yet, as told there wood stocks but read these are plastic that look like wood, having played with one in the shop felt like plastic to me, yet informed was definitely wood😉😏 and seen adverts with walnut stated as stock!
Gun will be for pigeon shooting/field use only.
Thanks

Do you guys always put a sort of 1/2 roof on the hide, or just leave the top open, been building a hide for two of us to sit in and starting thinking really we need a bit of roof camo to cover the back of the hide, don't know if I'm been paranoid

Cheers guys thanks for all the advice. That's me on them tomorrow then, waterproofs donned!

stubble
in Pigeon Shooting Tips
Posted · Edited by scottk
Ok just an update if helpfull to anyone, as you guys are so good at responding, done 3 sessions 2-3 hours between 3-8 different times each session , each over stubble birds in vicinity but not where I set up. But due to roads etc and following safe run off areas, can't always set up where the birds are. 36 birds in total, 16 my best which was tonight, got most action over two random patterns with a gap in the middle started at 20 yards but slowly increased , and real birds in the pattern made a massive difference to getting birds to commit, reckon if I could hit a barn door, and resisted trying to shoot pigeons outside my ability probably could have had triple the number easily , lots of rookie mistakes but I'm learning slowly. Got some spring sticks for the neoprene shells got to say think there brilliant, work really well with a bit of wind proper life like nice bit of cheap movement in the pattern.
In regards to hide I set up under a tree used two nets one lower so extra cover to waste height and found if you put straw between the nets blends in great.
Had two doubles which was great and furthest paced to 45 yards, think that was a fluke though, as rarely hit anything further than 35 yards.
Question to you guys I got a lot of high birds flying over the pattern, that I tried to shoot missed everyone one, before I worked out to only shoot lower birds that were interested in pattern. Is that the best approach?
Thanks, this is addictive!
