I can only comment on no.1 on your list. If the dog is in season leave it at home. It is not fair on others dogs on the shoot.
Hi Jdog sorry should have mentioned the 3 male dogs on shoot have all been “fixed” the others are female it’s a small family run 50 bird shoot.
if she had got any interest from any of the other dogs she would have been in her crate.
all guns and beaters were aware before she was let out of the van

So pip the last couple of times out has started getting hard mound with picked game.
triggers seem to be
1 in season
2 she had a picked a bird that was then stolen by another dog
3 long receive for 3 or 4 pricked runners (not mine btw ) only dog in the area
4 seems to be worse towards end of the day !
5 got confused on a retrieve and another gun shot and wounded one this landed near and ran in front on her way back she dropped and gave chase
6 a mad walked up game day with lots of action for both me and the dog feel this fed her inner dog hunting instinct
So She seems to becoming more reluctant to release on the dead command. A sit and treat I get a look that indicates this nice pheasant for that dog biscuit - er no.
so last few evenings training with a spare hen for her tea text book
So gone back a step in training and tennis ball retrieves spot on dummy retrieves spot on most of the time !
The wings will be moved to the training dummy to see what happens here.
any other ideas chaps as I feel need a to nip this in the bud I know spaniels can be hard mouthed compared to labs but can’t fathom a way out of this one so asking you lot for ideas
Further option is book back in with working spaniel trainer to see the me and the dog working
ps pip the sprocker now 2 and loves to work and please I feel at 18 months she was turning a corner on training listening and dog owner bond. Ps never cussed or struck always reward the positive and move on from the negative!
thanks Agriv8 and pip !

I suspect the owner may well have something more suitable for that day!
I suspect the owner has staff that have suitable cars and brings back the deer prepped for the freezer and the Labradors washed !
nice set of wheels but halford for wiper blades - everyone to there own but find eurocar parts better value !

Yes in winter having the cartridges ina belt inside your jacket can make all the difference.
Used to know a chap that loaded his car the night before, all except his gun. Never shot very well in the winter as his carts were cold and slow.
Just be careful now TC don’t be adding the cartridge temperature and relative humidity to the calculation I have to do before I pull the trigger!
Don’t think modern flake is as susceptible to sweating but many a shooter I know will hang his cartridges somewhere warm ready for packing in the morning!

Clear pigeon extreme I have had some fun with these on walked up days and in a short case for you SxS lot. Strongly suspect the same as the black ones but clear case !
I always believed cartridges getting hot then cold and humidity cased problems ! Dry and constant temperature is important.

Only freemasons know the answer .
Mel the mention of free masons on a public forum may facilitate the removal of one’s ceremonial apron!
the red cartridge bluff running in the playpen is only to divert attention from reality! on passing certain tests and mentioning certain key word in the different threads unlocks a hidden area within this forum.
one of the known hidden words is to mention red cartridges, the second is the intricate subject of root ginger preparation and application.
Then it starts to get difficult and you need to understand a rambling post of ditchman after a bottle of red and when his medication needs adjustment.
I have already said too much but have you ever wandered how your shooting buddy always gets the best pegs. just like the Freemason secret hand shake next time you are out shooting ensure the shoot caption sees you tipping reds into your carriage bag that’s all I will say !
So in a Borris tag line delivery
think red
shoot red
drink red
I can divulge no more or my work to access the hidden forum will also be derailed!

The first thing I thought when I saw the bridge was negligence but didn't want to post, I assume someone must have done a risk assessment. Very sad but very avoidable.
I too held back for the same reasons.
risk assessments for shooting I would suspect if completed centre around people guns and live ammo ! the getting of those to and from the drives I suspect is going to come under close scrutiny from Hse. Insurance and underwriters.
In hindsight I am sure we would all make a different decision after ‘the event’ but at the end of that particular day it didn’t end in a ‘beer in the pub round the fire’ and that’s a truly sad ending !

A sad day indeed and a warm tribute you paid to one of our band of brothers , although we get a small payment we mainly go for a day out amongst like mined people and the craic is often priceless , we were out today rough shooting with three Dutch gentlemen and the weather was often wet with a cold wind , we have been out in this type of weather many , many times and if it wasn't for the good natured craic from the few of us who have known each other for more years than I care to remember it would have been a miserable day to be out , whereas we all had an enjoyable day and roll on our next day .
As for the accident itself , we can only go by what we see and to be honest that bridge look only suitable for walking over only and at best the A T V with a empty trailer, health and safety will be asking some serious questions and it could have a impact up and down the country on gun buses and beaters trailers as many have to cross or use public roads and is the drivers insured to carry fare paying passengers ? , might well be worth looking into
I had logged in to say the same ! But you have certainly expressed it in a better way than I would be able.
It’s the like minded foke that make the a good excellent- Weather and views next. Adding something to the bag I am upset if I don’t -

Hi Agriv8, yes it was, as part of one of the local Mountain Rescue Teams. Due to the location and difficult nature of the terrain we were there to assist with casualty extraction and a help get the various emergency services to and from the scene.
I don't know any of the members of the shoot, but as a fellow gun, it certainly brings it home that it is the last thing you'd ever expect to happen when you set out for a day's shooting.
In that case Jonty thank you for the valiant work you do also !
hoping the anti shooting lot do not descend on this. As it looks like a tragic accident !
Wishing those injured a swift and full recovery as well.

Well done for staying calm.
It’s a scary experience which I have avoided all but once !

I attended this awful incident yesterday, and I'm afraid to say that they were all members of a shoot. Very sad news for our shooting fraternity and my thoughts and best wishes go out to the people involved and their families and friends.
Jonty - not wishing to pry was that in an official capacity?
I had a horrible feeling from the address that the address and description instantly had me thinking shooting party on shooting bus
I believe gun on pegs has the shoot listed who from the bio seem like a genuine lot.
deepest condolences for those missing loved ones after the tragic news yesterday !
Its only a hour away and visit forest of bowland regularly with family and mutt !

Before you discont it

But again cost benefit risk is a factor!

You might be in look

Modern cars with bulb fault detector are a pain.
most cars now require a can bus trailer brain to run trailer electrics.
there will be a plug on the car electric harness for this to plug in.
Usually in the boot area but my transit custom it was under the near side front passenger step !
Usually when you have a can bus trailer ecu this will need coding to the car ecu ( local independent specialist may be able to assist)
my last 3 diy installs I have managed to get hardware ( tow braket ) and electric harness / tow ecu from eBay and just pay for the coding at local trailer installer !
any Suberu dismantles may be a good start as well

Mate had 50 hull superfast 7.5 fibres through his yesterday as most of em zinged past my nose on the clay ground he doesn’t shoot owt else at clays !
superfast are punchy so should have no issue afaik in your hatsan so unless you are on a dodgy batch don’t recon it’s the shells
a photo of the broken shell may help.
where are you ? might be worth seeing if anyone local with experience could look it over ?
Btw did it suffer from same problem before the strip down clean ?

At least 3 years. They still sell cartridges from the farm shop downstairs though.
Walked up are they reasonably priced ? What brands do they stock ? Mother in law lives not a million miles away so always looking for an excuse To escape! Oak ridge shooting ground good for a couple of hours but can prove expensive as a regular escape !

I am going to get abuse for this post but going to post it anyway. I like the PW site because of the talk from the field, off topic, great advice (at times) and general banter from the members. However, this has to be said.
When I first mentioned Susan Michie on this site, Director of the centre for Behavioural Change and a leading light in SAGE that has driven the government thinking on covid, lockdowns, face masks, stop socialising, 2 metre rule, and total fear tactics, etc and also a fully paid up member of the communist party, I was ridiculed as a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theory looney. I was given dogs abuse on here, to the point of being told my licence should be revoked.
Today we find that the CCP have infiltrated HM Government and have done so for the past 6 years, and no doubt across the world. Italy making it compulsory for over 50’s to be vaccinated or otherwise be find. What next…imprisonment or worse?
Cancellation of people who speak out against so called “woke” principles, Black Lives Matter, Climate Change Nutters, Extinction Rebellion or any other looney left groups you want to include. It’s all the same message, conform or be alienated. If you stand up and be counted you are labelled as an Anti Vaxxer, Right wing thug or on here a conspiracy theorist or worse a disseminator of lies. None of which I class myself as. I am a reasonable bloke who sees what is right and wrong and make my own judgement and what I am seeing is an attempted destruction of our democracy and liberties.
Probably going to get more abuse because of this post, which is fine but I would ask you all…….why don’t you wake up and see what is going on?
This has never been about a virus from day one, it’s about control and taking away your liberty. Something that our forefathers fought for in years gone by and this country is rolling over and letting it all wash over them.
we should be ashamed
Humblepie we live in a democracy PW has like the rest of society vocal sections. Most of us sit on the fence most of the time.
Governments like to push us about most of the covid response had been led by scare mongering get jabbed or die. Having heard first hand hospital’s decision on who will get treatment in intensive wards and who will not and likley pass away they have to do something!
Me I am jabbed as the thought of passing this on to aged parents led me down this route. Travelling abroad also a consideration. Wife teacher and kids at school have brought this home twice !
Unfortunately democracy and liberty only usually questioned when we disagree with the gov pushing us about but like taking our taxes they will get it one way or the other ( unless you are Amazon Google etc etc )

Well I reckon he and his advisors are working on a second apology.
Whereby he will admit to planning and hosting all sorts of party's, driving to an ancient monument to test his failing eyesight, he may have kissed colleagues and generally ignored all of the laws and rules put in place for the rest of us to follow.
Next Wednesday at PMQ's he will again open with an apology and will then ride the storm out and lead the Conservative Party in to the next General Election in 2 years time.
If the 1922 Committee manage to find 54 MPs to sign a vote of confidence in the PM I reckon he will get through that too.
Apparently the Duke of York's legal team are attempting to engage the PM as their legal advisor as he can get away with almost anything.
N.B. I have consumed a lot of sugar on my breakfast cereal so may be suffering from poor judgement for which I will happily apologize next Wednesday.
TC,
All very true, but as discussed at length you can get away with anything if you use RED cartridges. I believe both Boris and Randi Andy both use Teflon coated ones !

So the cynical me

Interesting that legal teams involved at no doubt our expense!
The face the opposition are as bad if not worse time for someone to crack some heads together before it’s too late !
