cheers I do see a lot about but mabe av wait till the crops come down hey regards mace

I have been shooting all my life since a small boy, and held a shotgun licence in the 90s but went on to fire arms and have had many yrs at it doing rabbits with the rimmie and hmr, then moving on to .223 to do foxing and enjoyed every minite of every day and night out over the yrs. This yr myself and my son have equired our shot gun cirtificate again my second his first to try some rough and some pigeon shooting, now i now not alot would have changed with the way pigeon feed but one thing i do know is alot has changed in the way of equipment like magnets flappers cradles bouncers and such we never had all that, i had 6 or 7 full body decoys and a net in the early 90s and was quite successful on most days on freshly drilled fields and then on the stubble fields later on.... we have been out a few times now and had a few pigeon comming in to 12 decoy shells on spring loaded sticks but not as many as i would have liked even though i have seen quite alot in the area before setting up, am i doing anything wrong or is it just that i have picked bad days, has anyone got any tips, when do they feed, do you use bouncers in your pattern or on the outsides of the pattern, how far from your pattern do you put a magnet, how far from your hide do you start with your decoys, thanks for reading and any tips would be greatfuly noted regards mace

I have always had a few cards made just incase, i think as everyone have said the best way to ask face to face and leave cards i have had a few say not at the moment but if you have a card i will ring you if anything changes not many do but i have had one phone back as the guy that had done it for yrs had died not nice but at least i got it and not some one else only cos he had a card of mine, i have two peices of land from phoning around as well you just might get one or two who tell you to come and meet them... good luck pal its always hard but just keep knocking,

Hi guys just wondering what distence you lads set your .223 scope out at for fox? cheers

nothin wrong with them sticks i have the same design lol they work thats what matters

well done pal i was gona get myself a 300 but decided on a sx3 in the end but my son is getting one would you say its a good gun mate?

nice looking mink pal

OLLIE it wont fit through the front door i would have to take my window out lol great mount tho

just out of interest are those sticks made from B&Q garden poles? cos i made some out of them and had em a few yrs now and really work well they just look like mine is all mate, oh well done on the fox by the way TEH

english weather is wonderfull but i will tell you one thing, thats a great shot in the wind and rain to bring down a big charlie with a very light round very well done pal..

is that a cz .22 rimi bolt action mate?

well done mate...

yeh thats right the taller the better, i have found that if you use two tall ones at each end and mabe the middle one it holds a top net high over you for crows and pigeon that come from behind works well it looks good anyway lol

dont mean to apear thick the pic dont look very clear and im all for making my own stuff as everything is so expensive, has any one got 5 mins just to explain how to make a cradle please cheers mace

Hi guys just wondering if i could av a word in the shel like of all you experienced dog people,, i have a 3 yr old springer that will naturaly work cover and pick up for me and retrieve but never worked her in the field with a gun, she is good to the whistle and will swim for anything i throw for her and she will retrieve dead birds...how should i introduce her to the gun? my first instinct is slowly but any ideas would be very much appreciated regards mace.

all i did was to sew my net to an old gazeebo roof after cutting it to size, the net still ads camo but the rain just runs off it works really well.....
