This happens a lot on the shoot I beat for its just rude and uncalled for I'm giving my Saturday up to help out and make there day possible a lot of guns need to realise that! A lot of beaters and pickers up don't get paid it's done for the love and enjoyment of the sport & working there dogs etc people with a poor attitude to helping pickers up and beaters roughly locate downed birds will eventually ruin there own shoot as people will just not turn up or find another shoot to help out on . We had are beaters day on Saturday the guns were beating this time three birds had been shot two went into a duck pit & one in the woods . They walked around the duck pit but wouldn't send there own dogs in for the birds & the guns beating in the woods didn't pick the third bird either just walked past it luckily one of the lads shooting on the peg had his partner & there dogs with them so she went to pick the down birds it just put a bit of a spoiler on the day. They also knocked one drive through & then decided that they were going to have 11s at 10am after one drive!

Lad on my local shoot got one new within two weeks the bottom ejector broke had to be sent back it's been five weeks since and he still hasn't heard anything from the gun dealer he got it off . Think he will part ex it once it's fixed

Beautiful pictures! My friend is a ski instructor in kitzbuhel Austria I went a couple years ago one of the best holidays I ever had id be happy just sitting in one of the cafe / bars taking in all the views the mountians have to offer . Plan to go back in the next year or so with the girlfriend gives us time to brush up on the local slopes over here . Looks like you had a brillant time! 👍

Lovely write up! Is that you finished for the season now Steve? We've are beaters day on Saturday the 12th then a final day for the guns on the 19th but the birds are thin on the ground now we did five drives last Saturday and the guns managed 12 pheasants there were some misses but to be fair to the guns there weren't a lot of birds in drives that normally hold them well.

I think they have gone now! I used to work for John titterton in Stockport my first ever job loved the food there would often get a pie on my break . But he has now closed as well to my knowledge there is only one in reddish & one in Woodley that is still open! Never been into pimlotts but often pass it on my way home and it looks busy down the way from branwaithtes gunsmith as well!

the aldi specially selected ones are nice the pastry is lovely on them can't beat the local butcher's normally tho

Can't beat it I like to make a simple ragu sauce with it & serve it with fresh pasta any left overs get made into either a Bolognese or a lasagne

Will do! I've been recommended the complete book of game conservation it's been refered as the bible of game keeping haha . Another recommendation is a book called your shoot!

Evening everyone could anyone recommend a good game keeping book that covers topics such as getting started, building pens , day to day jobs, feeding routines etc? Been beating on a few shoots now & would like to learn more about the keeping and day to day running side of a shoot . Cheers

If the right James degale turns up on the night he should be able to outbox eubank with ease. He normally switches off in the later rounds tho and that's where eubank could get lucky. Degale hasn't been the same fighter since the badou jack fight.

There is a Facebook group called affordable game days with around 16 thousand members in the group. Anyone with days to sell in future it could be worth a look into as I don't think they charge to advertise your days on there.

Normally pay the full amount up front via bank transfer or pay cash on the day

Google or Facebook jack hallams and sons he had a sale on in summer all side by side and single barrel shotguns plus rifles £100 or less. If not ring branthwaites in Cheadle hulme and ask what he has got in cheap friend got a little coey 410 for around £40 I think it was . Rough and ready but still does what it's designed for

We knocked some brillant drives through on the 22nd you weren't far off from your 100 mark! Will have to pm me your shooting dates for the next season nearer the time would like to come back again brillant drives , banter & hospitality

Have you tried branthwaites in Cheadle hulme? I'm sure he could order some in for your or there's jack hallams in whalley bridge, j.f nevilles in alfretons as well. Hello from a fellow stockporter

Hull x comp are brillant cartridges with little recoil even in 28gram 7.5 loads . The eley select 28gram 7.5 /8s are soft as butter as well I've shot over 150 plus cartridges of each in a day and never had a issue with feeling them in my shoulder. If you wanted a bigger load due to cycling issues try 29gram 6s from lyvale express pigeon power or hulls super fast range

20gauge or smaller bore will be lighter and with the right loads shouldn't have to much kick . 20 gauge with 21 gram 7.5s for clays is a very nice set up

Sounds like heart burn in a glass! I've recently taken to the sloe gin and prosceco lovely stuff rather lethal tho after two or three of them

Have you tried premair guns??

Good engines only thing they suffered from was the lift pump in the tank gunking up same engine in the bmw 325td e36 chassis
