  1. Largely wanting it for wildfowling need to go and have a play with one I reckon
  2. Lol. Thanks very much, I'd appreciate all the experience I can get. At the moment it's all reading and watching vids on the Internet.
  3. Do you think a 3" or a 3 1/2" would be the better option?
  4. That's the thing they are really well priced. I read somewhere the 3 1/2 " chambers won't cycle properly with lighter loads?
  5. Hi all. Thinking of picking up a hatsan semi 3" chambered for wildfowling and decoying pigeons etc. I have heard conflicting views on these and wanted some opinions, so............. Are they any good??? Cheers!
  6. Great to hear I'm really looking forward to it!
  7. What could anyone recommend for a general cartridge for fowling? I know general is a bit vague. Non toxic obviously but size and weight etc 3" max
  8. Ok. Possibly daft question but I don't pretend to know more than I do. I have some 42g no 1 for a bit of daylight foxing. In my o/u I have 1/4 and 1/2 choke most of the time. Is there a maximum size I can safely discharge through these chokes I.e will I blow the barrel up if I let fly at a Charlie through it? As I understand the choke constricts the load slightly if that load is to big can it struggle through the choke? I'm sure it's a daft question but if I don't ask I won't know lol! Thanks lads
  9. Why is this do you think? Does it become a stronger taste? I prefer pheasant fresh rather hung I find it gets that livery taste if Hun too long.
  10. Will check work schedule tomorrow and let you know. Ta very much!
  11. That's great lads I'd really appreciate it. Having a day with someone in the know is exactly what I need. There just seems to be so much more than a driven day or a day in the hide. Not that those things aren't a good day. I watched a few youtube vids and it just looks superb. If anyone is available in the new year ill make sure I'm free. Thanks again everyone
  12. Hi all I am really keen to start wildfowling. I am intrigued by the whole thing. The quarry identification and just the thought of spending time doing something I love with the dog in a rewarding and challenging environment. I realise I am going to have to travel seeing as there is a post in the next village stating I am at the furthest point inland in England! However this doesn't phase me. How do you think I should go about it. I have been reading books and articles on the Internet and I have looked into several wildfowling clubs. Is this the way to go? Joining a club seems like a good idea as some of them run courses on call recognition and quarry identification etc. as well as teaching the safety aspect of the tides etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
  13. So. After a few trips to the clay shoots and a couple of beaters days I bit the bullet ( pardon the terrible pun!!) and bought my first shotgun today. I live in buckinghamshire and I have noticed a few guys on here being kind enough give help to novices in the field. I would really like someone giving me the opportunity to learn from their experience. If anyone could offer me that sort of opportunity I'd really appreciate it. Thanks all! Dave

  15. Hi I'm looking for any permission to shoot in the Bucks area. Have permissions in oxon area, but have moved recently and finding it very hard to find permissions in this area. If anyone could help, I would be very grateful. Many thanks
