Which is the best buy out of a magnet or flapper in your opinions, What to get the best thing first. Russ

So you and Will beasley are saying 90% of pigeon shooters are part timers who deserve very little respect as there rubbish at pigeon shooting and leave empty cartridge cases behind sandwich wrappers etc a very broad sweeping statement . So I should only look at a days guided shooting to gain good knowledge as getting a day out if I was lucky would be pointless with a part timer. Russ

You must admit the guides responce to this reply is very much in line with this members statment. I am sure that there must be cases of guides following this method to provide max sport for there clients as I cant see many clients paying for keeping pigeons of fields diffcult to shoot in the winter time I understand pigeons can be wary in winter with clouds of birds shifting with one shot . So are guides providing a service to the farmers or his clients I know the snswer should be both . As if thats true then is the guide taking good money of clients in winter knowing full well that they may struggle to even shoot one bird as he is trying to please a farmer who is phoning him say my crops are being eaten. Its a intresting debate and one that I know will help me chose my way into the sport and at the moment I am not over keen on the guides arogrant nature towards other pigeon shooters. Does he think he is the greatest pigeon shooter in the UK as his reply denotes that. Russ

As a newbie trying get a insight to the sport I am willing to pay for shooters knowledge ,would I use a guide who so arrogant towards what he calls part timers err no. Are you saying that others dont shoot good bag of pigeons and you seem not so keen on answering the question about good number being shot by you and your father when claiming to clients that theres very little about is that because you want to save the best shooting for yourselfs not your paying clients .

I have joined had a day out pigeon shooting with a friend keen to have a guided day out to learn . Russ
