  6. Norfolk Flush Date Set

    in Events and Meets

    Posted

    Really looking forward to it :) It'll be good to be back in God's finest county again. I used to work at the old Q8 garage many years ago.

    Is there anything else I should know or be telling the wife before we come up? Any advice/stating the obvious comments welcome!

    see you all on Saturday :good:

  10. Pump Club

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    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 :)

  11. Tried (and failed) shooting high pigeons

    in Talk From The Field

    Posted

    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

  14. Whole Pigeon In A Slow Cooker???

    in Food and Drink

    Posted

    Sounds great, do you have the recipe?

    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.

  17. Hi from North Essex

    in Welcome to Pigeon Watch

    Posted

    Thanks for the welcome :)

    Have been out and about in my permissions (18acre mixed wood and 3 or 4 fields adjacent) a bit recently, great fun and plenty of meat in the freezer for the game pies over Christmas!

    I have to say it's making me see the countryside in a totally different way now and I drive by other places looking at flight paths, crops, etc/ Good times! have so much to learn!

  22. VIRI FOB Cartridges - cheap/reliable cartridge?

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    I'm after something cheap and cheerful(ish) thats going to be kind on the wallet, gun and shoulder. (clay shoots - 30" O/U bettinsoli sporter)

     

    A Local shop is promoting these - VIRI FOB Cartridges 28g 7 1/2 Plastic - any thoughts or suitable alternatives?

     

    I'm kind of in the mindset to choose a cartridge and stick to it, rather than constantly chopping and changing without really being able to tell the difference.

    Any helpful comments welcome

  24. Essex Shotgun Application delays

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    Currently says "PLEASE NOTE – the application process for New Grant Applications is currently taking around 16 weeks due to high volume of applications received, however we are working hard to decrease this process time"

    As mentioned asbove - pester power. I also spoke with BASC who called them on my behalf.

     

    Already had shotgun, was being kept on my sister-in-laws cert/cabinet. Was just a massive pain relying on others, not being able to go freely and buy cartridges, etc, etc. Still freedom awaits and will be up fennes quite reguarly and knocking a few pigeons down hopefully. Have access to a wood so will be lying in wait come roosting/home time.
