Don't you feel the weather has anything to do with it then? Im interested to hear what people think as I keep getting different excuses! Being so new to the sport the guys that I shoot with keep telling me "its the worst I've seen it in 20 years........)

Any ideas on where's best to get one from?? I'm pretty new to all this and have been stung buying certain items already!

I'll 2nd that to pigeon free zone of Herts too

Small flocks of 30-40 around the shorter rape fields.....this really is the first small sign we've seen at our permission in Royston in weeks, this time last year there was plenty to go at but all this rain and milder weather has killed it for December and early Jan, here's hoping for some colder days/nights soon!

That is such a sad state of affairs......seems like the farmers are finding harder each year!!

That may well be the way to go on that front.....nice idea!

Typical!!! Just had a look at that but I have everything apart from the bag now!! Finding that hard as need something big enough to carry my decoys flappers etc......any ideas?7

Looks like the one ive bought but in 5m , if so its great but you must have a good background with not too much light coming through..

Just got myself some "seeland outthere 1200g and they are great!! Nice snug fit and very warm to with buckle side....could do a lot worse than to take a look at them for the money £95.00

Hi.........what do you guys use to carry your full bodied/shell decoys and your flappers...... Im a bit of a newbie and not sure what would work best to keep everything safe and tidy. Thanks in advance

Loving the idea of getting a few big Perch out, Ive already bagged a couple of 3lb ers!!

Cheers fellas that's all sorted then

OK That's seems to be pretty unanimous.......No 3/4 choke for me......im decoying pigeons (should have probably made that clear) will this make any difference?

Hi guys, not sure if i'm in the right area or not. Im very new to the sport and this site. I've just purchased my very first gun which is a Franchi raptor 720 which came with a full & half choke. I have been informed by my dad's shooting buddies that it's worth me purchasing a 3/4 choke to cover most scenarios. Can someone let me know where the best place to get this from ie direct from manufacturer, gunshop, online etc.....Many thanks in advance, Harry.

This all very good advice and im chuffed to bits that so many of you guys have taken the time to point me in the right direction....just one last question though....where can I get some of the swedish nets from??

Any reason you purchased it from a Swedish army supplies?? Are they better?

Any specific one??

Hi everyone, Im very new to the sport and I'm slowly building up my equipment after purchasing my gun, seat and clothing. Next on the list is a decent hide net and poles. With so many on the market and my limited knowledge I was hoping that you guys could at the very least point me in the right direction. Budget wise im willing to spend what needs to be spent in order to get something that will do the job and last rather than going for the cheapest only to find it falls apart and is not up for the job. Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone......Another newbie here to this forum and to the sport!
