  1. A few pigeons with the shotkam

    in Sporting Shooting Videos

    Posted

    No I understood what you were saying, the birds that were missed on the video were close, longer range birds were dropped hence my explanation.

     

    At the end of the day missed is missed so we will never know, we all like to think that the birds we shoot are in the centre of out pattern the truth is in many cases they are not.

     

    Close range birds and tight chokes is a recipe for a poor bag, no matter who you are your just making it harder for yourself

     

    Maybe our opinions of how far off some shots were is because I was there and know the distance etc

     

    All I would say to anyone is get yourself a shotkam or borrow one and look at your own shots,, it's surprising what you find some birds are in the centre of a pattern and still do not drop

     

    Cheers

    :hmm: Your right I would be very surprised if a bird was centre pattern and did not drop at sensible ranges for the load used.

    That'll do for me! Seen your posts on here and you seem to know you stuff so will take the hassle free route! Just need to find a well priced 12ft x 4ft run now!

     

    I don't know about that :lol:

     

    Mine come from Dutchy Farm Kennels , I did the base myself .

    The Kennel itself cost £1100 although I note they have gone up since then , delivery and erection is included in the price though.

  14. Vined peas

    in Talk From The Field

    Posted

    This might be a stupid question but what are vined peas? I have a new permission that has peas on but not sure if they are vined or not. Sorry if this is a daft question!! Also when do peas get harvested I think this were planted in March?

     

    Thanks

     

    If they were planted in march chances are they are vining peas.

    Harvest peas are usually drilled in April / May

  16. 12G steel or lead?

    Thanks for the info on shot size and density and following from above can I fire lead at a rabbit on the edge of a lake knowing that some shot may go in the water of the lake as at this time I would use steel as its a rabbit and not waterfowl and or can I fire over the lake at a rabbit on the other side or water fowl on the other side again at this time I would use steel

     

    If you are in England then yes it would be perfectly legal to shoot a rabbit sitting on the edge of a lake using lead shot , you can even shoot a rat swimming across the water , you cannot however shoot a duck with lead that's a mile away from the nearest water unless you are using steel or other non toxic .

     

    As they say the law is an ****.

  19. Dacia Duster

    in Motoring Section

    Posted · Edited by fenboy

    I dont have any experience of the Duster but my Sister in Law who lives in Turkey brought a dacia stepway , I spent quite a bit of time in it and was very impressed .

    It was very economical and drove nicely and had plenty of room they are part of renault so have the renault diesel engines .

  22. 12G steel or lead?

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Remember if steel you can fire on and over water if lead you cant,steel beware of ricochet with steel..they will probably be lead as with steel you go 2 sizes less a 6 In steel would be 8 or dust in lead

     

    You can fire as much lead over water in England ( other than the foreshore and ssi sites) as you like as long as you are not shooting at wildfowl.

    As already mentioned a steel 6 is exactly the same size as a lead 6.
