Cracking shooting Steve and a great report too. those type of outings are very few and far between.

After a hard week at work and little sport been had, I made plans with Kes (pw member ) to have a afternoon on a peice of land with a nice copse area in the midde of a wheat field, that had showed plenty of birds this last week when i had been driving past. Met Phil and got down there about 2ish and on arrival we weren't disapointed on getting to the gate to the field approximatley 150 plus birds lifted off the top of the copse, both our eyes lit up with eager anticipation. so we got set up on the edge of the copse and waited until they had decided it was safe to return, they duly obliged slowly and surely presenting us with some tough sporting shots but Phil was on form and bagged the first few at good distance. the rotary seemed to be holding them back at distance so it came down and the sport picked up sometimes from all directions and large numbers too. it got manic around the 6pm mark with birds everywhere from all directions and different heights some really high taken above our heads through the trees and some directly at us ike stealth bombers lol. In the end we ended with 35 picked with 16 we had to leave out in the crops save damaging them anymore than they already are. a few pics below from today a pic of the ones picked up today

Gutted I'm too far away and busy this weekend or i would have snapped this up without any hesitation, it's a bargain for someone ....good luck with the sale

Cheers for the heads up Steve, i got some today and it works a treat it's ceaned it up really well and looks like new

All positions have now been taken. Thanks for all the enquiries and messages and good luck to those who have joined us. Sean

John / Kev, it was apeasure meeting you too, and I hope that by pooling our experiences and thoughts together as a group we we have the oportunity to develope a quality shoot with plenty of sporting oportunities and challenges. Just let me know when you are wanting to meet up to finalise things ect by text or a phone call. thanks once again for your support sean

John, it was good to meet you and Dave too, I've been up there tonight and the birds were lifting all over the place which was good as I was showing another PW member around, the land does have a ot of potential ut the best sight of tonight was defined flight lines over all fields. especially by the holding pond we were looking at clearing away a good 4 dozen lifted off the barley and followed the tree line to the wooded area I just thought a ittle thank you to all those that joined me in the new venture should have a litte something to start them on their way. We only have 1 place available now so its looking good. drop me a txt if your out over the weekend and i will see if i can get over.

I've noticed just lately that the engraving on my Lanber has started to blacken, during the hot spell and can only put it down to the sweat from my hands ( salt ect ) I clean the gun once a week inside and out if required more internally and a quick wipe down of the outside of the barrels and clean the stock. I've tried the cleaning cloths but it just wont budge any ideas or manufacturers of a decent cleaning solution to help get it sparkling again sean

Thanks for the comments Phil, there have been a number of enquiries but i think a few are a tad too far out for travelling. the season will soon be on us when we need to be out and showing a presence on the land, I'm sure those who do join us will enjoy the sport and surroundings.
