Completely agree pal, out in a wood with my Labrador once, waved him right, he just looked at me and went left, a bit annoyed but then he put up half a dozen pheasants! I appreciate your reply as I'm no expert trainer hence the question regarding scenarios, my first lab was great at finding birds but once on game/Wildfowl he had no interest whatsoever in dummy refreshers in the garden.

Evening bud, can you explain to me please how he's totally dependable yet if he doesn't want to go he won't? I'm not having a dig as I was considering getting a chessie possibly next year and I'm just curious what the scenarios are where he decides to sit put.

Trust me if your lab is anything like mine it certainly WON'T slow him down!

I believe my carton of cartridges used for game shooting consists of 28g 7.5s up to 32g 5s. Don't really pay too much attention which ones I put into the cartridge bag for the day as I pick the birds to shoot at that I know won't get 'plucked in the air' or least likely to get wounded. I've been lucky enough to shoot fenbirds for a number of years now, lean and fast flying they've certainly helped me for when I've been invited to shoots which put a lot of reared birds down.

Whilst I can't comment on the so-called click as I don't pay a lot of attention to topics once they descend into slanging matches, I do agree it's a shame when some good members get banned. I really do miss logging on to read a former member's posts, he had such a passion for air rifles. 👍

My Black Lab under a stunning moon And again with a well deserved burger....which he demolished in less than 10 seconds.

I've seen the reverse of this, a bloke who said he shot well on clays could never do well on the pheasants, really did beat himself up over it.

Great picture pal, Dog looks a belter 👍

Gotta say that is one lovely looking dog.

😆

Oh so you must of left them in the truck that night I popped round. 😉

Does that also include tea bags?

If memory serves me right they were made by gamebore, shot quite a lot of them back in the late nineties early noughties, 30g 6s, a decent budget cartridge that accounted for a lot of game.

Cheers Stevo, bit freaky really but 3 times before the 78 I got 56, after the 78 we went again and I thought I was getting somewhere but then got 56 for the 4th time
