Motty Really sorry. Won't affront you anymore. Wishing you the best of luck.

80 crows on flight line to landfill

33 pigeons on what's left of the rape. 9 crows on maize stubble and 10 pigeons roost shooting on Saturday

Can't fault the Chasse. Kills cleanly, not at all thumpy and good price. What more could I ask. Great for decoying range!

30 today on wheat stubble. Just as birds started coming in proper had to pack up for parents evening......kids!

Struggling to find the birds. Still no sign of them harvesting wheat or beans near me. Shot 9 over rape stubble yesterday

77 on laid wheat. Birds still coming in but the boss stopped play.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but here goes. I had a Miroku for 20+ years and shot well with it. Unfortunately it just about fell to bits and time came for a replacement. After much scouring I found what I thought was an exact replacement (same make/model etc but hardly used). Low and behold my shooting became inconsistent with many bird hit but not killed cleanly. It then got worse where I started missing birds which had previously been dead certs. Confidence dropped, loads of questioning myself, trying new things and my natural shooting went to rat ****! Eventually sought help and the pattern plates showed me consistently shooting low and left of where I thought I was shooting. I invested £160 in an adjustable comb, re-adjusted the gun and bingo! Best money I've ever spent. With age, weight change, dental work etc, your gun mount can change significantly. It's worth just checking every now and then on a pattern plate as that could be your simple answer and an adjustable comb can be altered as you change for the life of the gun.

Same field of laid oats. me and a friend-total 139 pigeons/4 crows Following day 17 pigeons....I think they've got the message!

Hating the prolonged rain but at least it has its benefits. Shot over field of weather laid oats. Had to pack up for dinner at 4pm and they're still coming in. Finished with 102 pigeons and 5 crows. 7899
