  1. Where magnets around in the 70s and 80s ? Obviously manual flappers were first time I saw a rotary was about 1998 and that was a home made one I started shooting in the mid 80s never heard about them or saw one
  2. Sounds like it was one of those days where they just don't want to commit no matter what you do with or without gadgets I've had countless days like that, the magnet has got me shooting when they won't decoy even it only brings them on the edge of range for a shot I would have had next to nothing without it 20 or 30 on a difficult day is better than nothing
  3. Always spooks them 🤔 I've never found a rotary to spook pigeons all the time
  4. Sounds like a good trip to me i was up in perth last week of November and had a couple of goose and duck flights last time I shot geese in Scotland was over 30 years i wished i had gone more in that time I'll be back next season without a doubt
  5. I grew up rough shooting it used to be a weekly thing In season and some of the bags we got were so varied at times pheasant partridge duck woodcock pigeon a wish I could of took some pics of them but didn't have mobile phones 35 years ago only over the last 15 years or so I started taking bag pics first on a digital camera then phone camera I remember one day 3 of us had our own DIY shoot had a walk round it was blowing a gale and cold we had partridge duck and pheasant in the bag then came across a pigeon flightline going into a small wood so we headed to it and spent rest of the afternoon in the wood 2 small flight ponds in it the pigeons kept coming ended up with 65 then the teal and mallard came into the ponds so bagged more duck I can't remember a better day than that or what the final head of game and wildfowl was but it was very good it was about 1998 I think
  6. Yep they would of run a check on your reg as they were sat behind you so once you said your name and address it matched with the info they already had on you so no need to go any further, if it was America they would of shouted get out the car with 9mm glocks pointed at you
  7. Well done and don't mention it, but can you send them back up this way thanks 👍
  8. Went out looking for pigeons initially met up with the old fella on a block of land with a couple of rape fields on it nothing touching the rape which is weird in this cold spell and hardly any acorns around this area so we ended up having a walk round the ditch sides and some rough cover i recently bought a 20g and hadn't shot any game or pigeons with it only clays to get used to the gun turned out to be a cracker of a day ended up with 7 pheasants and a couple of pigeons in the bag between us one was a feral using 24g steel 4s and 5s
  9. Yes bought about 4 guns from there over the years and took guns to be repaired, no complaints from me
  10. I agree nothing wrong with lead, but its on the horizon that we won't be able to to use it so I'm ready now I've switched all my guns to steel proofed ones even though you can shoot steel through SOME non steel proofed guns and get away with it I'm doing it for piece of mind plus you will have trouble selling a non steel proofed one when lead is banned
  11. Fair enough but you will end up using non toxic in the end, try using some steel carts you might be surprised by the results I haven't used lead for 5 years steel only because I can sell on steel shot pigeons you need non toxic for Wildfowl so i thought stuff I I'll just use steel full stop so I'm more than ready for when lead is banned I'll just carry on as usual with no gripes
  12. Exactly don't give them reason to shoot you in the first place its common sense well not that common as we all know
