hello, ok i know this is a long shot but i fort id try asking. ive never shoot a geese and would love to try this season. if there is anyone willing to let me try or take me out in the cambridgeshire area i would be most great full. if anyone can help me on my quest please pm me. many thanks matty

wow what a day will write full write up soon

She looks lovely mate spitting image of mine young cocker bitch, photos are good quality too love to get some of mine done. Matty

I use pure gold in my 20g from time to time and they do seem to be very dirty leaving dirty down barrels, ive used the rios on decoyed pigeons work well for me. I tend to use rc sipe 28g 6 alot now very good cartridge. Matty

My favorite time of year to shoot pigeons is just after the game season is finished on cut maze covers to me you cant beat it, 2nd would be on the stubbles after harvest time. Matty

i use a whitby&co handwarmer ( same as zippo but cheaper) works a treat used it last sunday clay shooting and couldnt ask for nemore kept hands lovely and warm.

Now ive looked at the site will be going for a practice Sunday morning if anyone fancies it. regards Matty

Thanks for all the advice im given her my all and lots of time , if thats what it takes then so be it. Im gonna try the tips you guys have posted and ill keep u informd of how it goes. Thanks again. matty

yea im trying everytime shes on the lead, im being very patient but seeing little improvement. i understand things take time but with seeing no improvement i must be doing somthing rong, well it feels that way. she a bright little dog and as loyal as can be just wish i could sort this problem.

hi all, my little cocker is coming along nicely she is 16 months old now loves working ditches, never goes to fair comes when called and retrieves well for her age. now off the lead she will walk to heel ok. i put her on the lead shes ok but as soon as we start to walk she pulls like mad. ive tried waving a twig in front of her while walking, tried a treat in my hand and a chock chain but nothing seems to be working. im really pleased with everything else just struggling with her heeling on a lead if any one noes of anything else i could try i would be great full. thanks matty

thanks for that mate. im very much looking forward to it and will take on board what you have said im going on the 12th of december. im in another small DIY syndicate, are birds do fly well but hoping to see better birds and will be nice to be able to pick good birds. when requesting details i ask on bringing non toxic and the reply was yes as may be a duck drive so fingers crossed. thanks again matty

Thanks everyone watched feild again today maybe chance of another go( hopefully not as rushed as last time). I make things out of fibre glass and carbon fibre. There is a drain a small farm track and the bean stubble that seperates my car park from the feild. So not to bad to keep an eye on tho i have been using binoculars.

thanks mate for got to say good job i did shoot it wednesday as i forgot i was pheasant shooting saturday and been busy today.

ok so first things first this bag was shot last Wednesday. rite so id been watching this bean stubble field from the carpark of my work for the last 3weeks with more and more pigeons showing each day. i had no idead who own/farm the land so had been waiting to see a tractor or farmer near by for a while.so on the tuesday went out for a smoke on luch brake and there was a big blue tractor in the next feild, i wasted no time in getting in my truck getting straight over and and asking for permission or if it wernt the land whoes it was. its was the farmers son a reli nice bloke i must add, he informed me the bean stubble wasnt his land but the stubble field next to it was and i could shoot there as much as i wanted, he wasnt sure who farmed the beans anymore.this left me thinking now do i wait for weekend or hit it tommow? after lunch break i booked next day off on my way home from work i fort to my self o **** id left hide poles and magnet arms in my mates truck not thinking id need them in the week and to make things worse had just heard that rain was coming in over nite and the next day. things deffently wernt looking on my side for the next day. i went over to see a bloke who lives just across the road from me and pleaded with him to see if i could borrow some hide poles, he lent me his magnet, battery and hide poles and also gave me 12 teal he had shot that morning. what a bloke !!!!!! so after everything it gradually came together i picked up 250 cartridges and 12 pigeons from mu uncle that evening. from being very unprepared i was ready from a lot of help from some reli nice people who i now owe a pint or too. i arrived at the stubble at 8 was shooting by nine and packed up at four with 101 picked and better still the rain held off not the best picture but was taking last thing by my boss who agreed to come over and take it in exchange for a few pigeons.
