  1. I have a small flock of pigeons hitting one field in the late afternoon. Unfortunately it is the one field I will not shoot on because it’s next to horses. I was wondering if it was worth putting flags up in the hope they would go to another field where I can shoot. Any suggestions?
  2. Well done on the blackies. But hiring a skip for a hide is a bit over the top.
  3. I worked for over 30 years making and repairing parts for military aircraft, tanks and subs. It paid for me to bring up a family, buy a house, cars, and enjoy a sporting and social life. I now live on the on the pension that work provided. Every one benefited from me the tax man and all the way down to the people who supplied pens and paper. So in my book these things are a good thing.
  4. Terry you done well to spite not having decoys out. there is nothing about in my part of Hertfordshire, when out today drove around my perms and did not even take the gun out of the car it was that bad and has been for the past month. I find those cartridges in 29g 6's quite good and as you say soft on the shoulder.
  5. When I got my FAC renewed back in January I asked for it to be open. But mine has the same as above but also has "land deemed suitable by the chief officer of the police" So what dose that make mine Open or Closed?
  6. I went online to renew my BASC membership and notest that the https in my google chrome search bar had a red line through in. Is this still safe to use when paying my renewal?
  7. Peas are showing, but no pigeons, and on the rape fields they dont want to be decoyed. I think my best days last year were on bean stubble.
  8. The farmers that I have called on have all said that they already have enough people shooting. I reply by saying that I only want to shoot on a weekday and live to weekends for those that work. This way I have talked 3 into letting me shoot and another in the pipeline. Tell them that you have insurance, and as Cranfield said, find some field where the pigeons are feeding and get your foot in the door before asking for too much.
  9. I dont think the skin counts
  10. I just wondered what times of the day the pigeons are going out to feed, and what's the best time to set up? I have not been shooting for the past 8 weeks and the last 5 weeks I've been out of the country. On the way home from the airport I see that a lot of drilling had taken place but the pigeons were still over the rape fields.
  11. Just wondering if this is the barrow you are referring to? http://www.wheelbarrows.co.uk/foldable-festival-canvas-wheelbarrow.html?gclid=CJjEtr28tsQCFSYYwwodvF4A6g John
  12. Lots of it on fleebay, just type in aluminium bar. Not sure about those sizes.
  13. I saw a program on TV where a bloke was recycling old cartridges from clay grounds. You could hear live cartridges going off that were mixed in with the dead ones. So why not take them to your clay ground and dump them in the bin there.
  14. I have a camo tarp. Do you think that by put it out on top of the snow and placed decoys on top it would full the pigeons?
  15. Delivered my forms by hand into the police station on the 16th Dec 2014 and got my new Certificates back on the 9th Jan 2015. 24 days that has got to be some kind of a record when you consider Christmas and New Year came in that period.
