Bismuth At a quid a shot bit out of my finances
1 minute ago, Walker570 said:Well mine is 120yrs old and still shoots lead brilliantly and a joy to use. There is no way I would be stupid enough to put steel through it. I have shot a small amount of bismuth with some success but I still have reservations about it's killing power compared with lead.

Any nitro proofed gun is capable of taking steel, regardless of age.
Oh ok I thought from reading what I read some maybe on here as well that guns of a certain age would be no good to shoot steel
-
I guess it’s the way forward But I feel for you guys with older more elegant guns that will not take Steel and will only be useable on clay grounds till lead is no longer aloud At all

I’m the lucky boy... I must have impressed that very first outing I must have done something right cause it ain’t my shooting ..... I am very great full ( couldn’t sleep last night buzzing that much) and there will be a beer and a lunch next time I’m at the van not that I’ll have time with my new perm which I will be visiting this weekend ... Thankyou again my friend you are a true gent😁😁😁😁😁🍾🍾🍾🍾🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

This all seems complex if Your out decoying Pigeons Gl 36 and a magpie flies over you will shoot It Gl 34 I was not intending to be out shooting magpies but surely It’s ok .. if I was out shooting rabbits which is crop protection if on farm land then I can still shoot a pigeon fighting over crop protection no different to flight lining or roost shooting if on the other hand said rabbits are on a golf coarse and I don’t have any farm land permission I cannot shoot a pigeon but can still shoot corvids as Gl 34

I'd look forward to that. I'm always willing to be educated and receive good advice.
Your going the wrong way about it then

You had an enjoyable day glad for ye
-
Nice report on your days adventures and a nice hopefully not exaggerated bag 😜

It was like taking a woman shopping the first shop they look in is the last shop they buy from and this was no different Jdog shown me this field first thing and thankfully it was fruitful later in the day as the 15000 acres we lookEd upon had no sign of a flight line .. two hides also turned in to one as they were just picking one set of decoys so good company/banter had all round enjoyable day with good sport ... ps video to come
-
Nice report on a fine day out for a while and good shooting
-
Put them on the pattern plate at a local shooting ground and go back for them in a few week old paint gone and lead coated against rust🤪🤪🤪

Fair enough JDog. If you are travelling the "country" then unless you have a bottomless pit of cash then a more modest fuel thirsty vehicle is required But if your forays are limited then a decent 4x4 is sustainable. I'm on the waiting list for the hybrid/electric Disco to be launched. I guess that if your vehicle could be kept on a single farm the you just might be able to justify red diesel.
If you can afford a new disco why you worried about fuel ?...for pigeon shooting I drive an 05 Plate L200 not the best on fuel but got good off-road capabilities .... I have drove 110 plus miles 3 times in a fortnight to shoot pigeons and have good company doing it With a friend ... believe me I ain’t got a bottom less Pitt of money but I really enjoy pigeon shooting... I am a member of NPPC and most fields I have shot with them are a 60 mile round trip so if you have a perm and have to put the mileage in To find pigeons be great full as us who don’t yet have Would snatch at the chance ...RANT over enjoy your shooting

I have sp bronze Had it about 18 month put about 4/5000 Through it If not more and it’s not missed a beat

nothing better...makes you swing on the line of the bird......one or 2 rounds of skeet a week will iron out all your bad habits.....enjoy it and cheers for posting
Would you use clay carts or you your usual pigeon carts

the majority of your misses were as a result of not swinging the gun with the path of the bird...you were coming up at an angle from beneath.......looking at you previous videos you have completly changed your style from before.....
love you putting the videos up wharts an all..........we all go thro patches like this.........
Rushing I think due to wind I think bad bad day but of to park lodge on Friday going to try a round or two of skeet And then try some towers for the longer range bird see if I can iron out what was going wrong
24 minutes ago, ianspire said:@Jacko3275 i like the fact you put your video's up even if you have bad day, showing your hits and misses, so thank you

I find it most refreshing to have someone here that is relatively new to the game, is honest, very keen, but more especially is eager to learn from others and his own increasing experience.
Not only that, he is apparently good company, which makes for an enjoyable day all round.
Well done Jacko, keep at it and keep those videos coming.
OB
Will do cheers

I’ve shot big days and small days, I always take a photo of the bag regardless of size. It’s easy then to evidence your anecdotes.
Shot to kill ratio on the other hand is much more skewed, only Jacko seems to admit to missing any!
I do like being honest but I have only being shooting at pigeons since June last year and I am my own biggest critic no point in painting over cracks ..all advice and criticism Taken And trying to learn from it all to improve so if I shoot 10 for 15 it’s been an excellent day but if I shoot 10 for 50 it’s still been an excellent day but I know I have shot shocking and need to improve

Do you know I have just done a Google search for what's AdBlue made from and I got a number of differing results, some say its made from animal urine and other say its made up of synthetic ammonia, 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionised water???
It was an old trucker that told me pig pee but to be honest never really needed to look it up

But cows are not aliens, AdBlue is made of ammonia extracted from the urine of cows.
I though it was pig pee

Can’t believe vandals would do that to someone’s garden the last time I seen something like that it was on John cravens news round and scumbags had vandalised the blue peter garden Hope the get the culprits and if you need an hand giz a shout🤪🤪🤪

One aspect that didn’t help Jacko on Saturday was that he was standing on sloping ground. Once he sees lead and the lead required I am sure his shooting will improve.
Whether he shoots well or not he is very good company and is always grateful for a day out.
Thankyou sir... I am always grateful that I’ve have been out shooting it’s one of the best sports ever whether I shoot good or bad I’m still having a go ... clay or game have nothing on pigeons
