Another 10 today, loads of birds about but no wind so they were very high.

Hi Whitebridges, Based near Attleborough so not to far from Dereham, where are you?. No snow but you are right it was bl**dy cold. Ended up in a small valley that was sheltered that all pigeons were using as a flight line. If all goes right i will be out again tomorrow so hopefully there will be a few more to add. Cheers Neil

When i set out decoys i expect birds to land among them but if they are in range shoot at them, remember when you set up decoys to leave space in the middle for pigeons to land some of the sponsers of this site have graphics showing you best set ups . Neil

You can add another 23 from me tried decoying got no response so moved 300yards and flighted them instead. Neil

for pigeon shooting i buy Saga 1oz 6s at £100/1000 or sells them in hundreds at £10/100 Neil

Without getting involved in a slanging match, i have never bought from the sponser in question and do not know him personally that is not to say i will not buy from him in the future. I hope you are able to resolve your problems with him and if the person on the phone is rude to you again ask to speak with the boss because one thing for sure he will remember you now. Neil

If you spoke to the guy on the phone with the same attitude you have in your e-mails no wonder he told you to get of your high horse. No product has a 100% success rate and occasionally things are not right but normally a polite phone call will sort most things out. Why would any sponser on this site mess us about deliberately he would soon lose all the business that he could expect to gain. Give them a far chance to solve your issues before complaining on here and if they dont solve them to your satisfaction then we would be interested. Neil

my contribution is 15 flighted this afternoon, luckily there is not a running total for pigeons missed. Neil

Often on beaters day there will be a whip round for the game keeper £10 normally does it, But most important just enjoy yourself. Neil

look at a Kia Sportage easily falls into that price range. Neil

I am not joining in to knock the BASC who i feel do a great job but surely having articles on "game to eat" in the shooting times is preaching to the converted. Editorial and recipies would convert more people if they were in the sunday magasines and supermarkets own publications. Neil

I am with Tiscali for 17.99 / month includes all telephone calls to all numbers starting 01 or 02, so far been very pleased with it. Neil

My personal choice is barbour everytime i know they are expensive but i still use a barbour i bought 16 years ago, I agree they are a little noisy compared to many of the new materials available. A lot has to depend on what u will use it for but a Barbour will work just as well in a beaters trailer or on the gun wagon. Neil
