TIDES EDGE

Good to hear all the banter but to get back to masmiffy original question the answer is yes they will hammer it when it first comes up so good luck .

Old farrier that's what I was trying to say .

Just a thought but would the extra thickness of the wads in steel cartridges make all chokes tighter .

Looks like a bad female pochard to me.

As I have said before on other posts Game Bores fibre cup is the way forward and should be used in all cartridges mass production would bring the cost down they make them in 65mm steel clay cartridges so it is possible.

Odd things do turn up I saw a Hoopoe on Sunday.

The £30 is for associate membership I am sure Alan will be on here soon to clarify when he has finished writing his chapter on his new book.

There is no waiting list.

I read some where that there are more Mandarins in this country than in their native country we see loads of them in Kent.

We had Bazanties for the first time this year they were a nightmare from day one ok so this last season was bad for wandering but they were no where to be found on the plus side the few that did stay flew realy high many to good for our guns but I think they did not land on our estate. We are not having them again going for a Bazantie cross this year .

There is a chessie x lab pup on Face Book gun dog page now that should be a wildfowling dog.

Its official because it was on Country File the other week (and they are always right) wildfowl numbers are down this year due to the mild winter they were at Welney there are certainly very few in Kent most of us have given up I only saw 2 teal on my last trip out and they were nowhere near me.

I have a S687 30" I brought years ago have just had it re blacked and serviced and its the best gun I have ever used best used with 28gm shells.

It is no better out in the estuary JJ I think we had better move north .

Top answers lads summed it up well.forgot to add falling asleep during dinner parties etc or coming home early due to getting up for dawn the next day.

We now use this system and agree with David its the best and fairest.

They are not in Kent in any numbers yet either.

Where as I agree you should know what they were before you shot them you are in luck they are legal widgeon.

Is it possible to drive it up hill away from the hedge the birds should then get up at the top and curl back over the beaters to get home at a decent hight.

Most clubs have a rule that states that no wildfowl shot on their grounds may be sold which is quite rite in my opinion.

my local supplier gave up dealing with him as in his words he is a nightmare to deal with which is a great shame as his 32grm 6 were one of the best cartridges I have ever used and a good price.

I spotted that as well moaned to the wife she did not know the difference like most viewers I suspect still a good programe.

A realey good series but either my ears deceived me ( I am hard of hearing ) or did those canadas sound like greylag last night.

Silver steel is the only steel load with fibre wads if the estate wants fibre this is your only steel choice if plastic is ok go for Gamebore Mammoths in either 4 or 3.

60 to 70 yards is beyond most peoples capabilities with any load only they dont know it
