We've got an East Anglian, 28 1/2' Classic, often seen pottering up and down the Blackwater

Joined this club recently! picked up an old Savage Arms/Stevens model 79 for a steal, had a great time round the wood with it last week, something to chuck about a bit and not worry if it gets wet, takes a knock is fantastic. Good times - just need to get familiar with it and ready to take it out on the marshes next year

My father in law, passed on his years of wisdom while at the clay ground a while ago, he uses the old belly beak bang approach normally, but for high birds he recommends belly beak bosh bang method, where the 'bosh' is a fairly solid push/shove on your gun to get that extra bit in front/speed up the swing. took me a couple of goes to get the feel for what he meant, but haven't missed a high bird (clay or real) since! (well one or two..), that's with 1/4 or 1/2 choke 6's and 7.5s

some really useful advice on this thread as I'm fairly new to it too and this is definitely what I've experienced! Some days hundreds and some days nothing! And definitely take the advice about keeping still and covering face! they spot you from a bloomin' mile away!

thank you - really happy with this, perfect for what we wanted. A pleasure to deal with!

It's from the new Hairy Bikers diet book. I imagine it would work well with any curry recipe. I find slow cooking curries allow the meat to tenderise and the flavours to develop nicely, just finish off with the fresh coriander garnish and yogurt before serving.

I used breast meat in the slow cooker to make a cracking dansak (used the new hairy dieters recipe and replaced the lamb with pigeon), was absolutely fantastic.
