Hits a misses

Vid from today

Some on it way soon I hope

Well thanks to COVID I have a furloughed week off of work so thought I might as well spend it at the caravan which puts me within a short drive of Jdog in the Lincolnshire wolds ... as I was driving here on Friday ( I had to come the back due to the motorway being shut ) I noticed some stubble field on one of Jdog’s perms so I pulled over for ten mins to watch a good flightline on to a rape stubble so rang Jdog to let him know he went to watch it Saturday and found a better field and line on barley stubble so it was arranged to shoot Sunday as there was heavy rain and storms forecast for Saturday... I met up with jdog at one on Sunday we went to the said barely field and there was hundreds of bird about pigeons and crows but the corner where we would set up had a lovely flight line we set up Strong wind to our backs We had a magnet A flapper about 50 decoys out the birds started to come in but not as expected jdog duly took these out and I was not up to speed with them we decided on a shuffle of the arrangement and this may draw them a little more as we want them nope they would do there own thing and not conform I hit my first long one and then we decided another shuffle was needed and a few more taken whilst all this was going on Jdog noticed a lot of movement on a rape stubble so I packed up and set of to set up on it as I got there I lifted about An hundred birdS and only one came back as I was down wind from Jdog I could hear what sound like a machine gun going off there was that many shots so I packed up and went back he had shot 24 in 40 mins of me not being there I set up again😓 and we had a few good shots again And some bad misses on my part we packed up with 30 of picked and a good days banter.... As I am over here for a week Jdog told me he was going to sort it for me to shoot one of his permissions on my own(he is a good bloke) we had previously shot these fields so I knew the lay out So Monday I got there and watch the field for an hour to see what was going off there was not much about compared to previous outings (standing wheat fields) I say a little interest in a ditty so decided I would set up under that as the is some bare patches in front of it I put a magnet and a flapper out and would see how it went I had not even finished setting up when noticed the first pigeon flying in my direction I got the gun from the car and loaded it an shot the pigeon from behind the car for the first hour they decoyed beautifully But then the interest in the Pattern slowed as they seemed to be going to a field not far away that is probably a little behind the wheat I was on anyway as the weather was taking a turn for the worse I packed up with 15 down 9 picked and another good few days thanks to Jdog who am also meeting tomorrow to reccy some fields to hopefully shoot Wednesday......sorry if it is a bit long winded but am glad to be back

very funny.... I’m back had a reprieve ... cheers mods for letting me back thanks guy I will post some soon ... glad to be back

Wath on Dearne

I’m from Rotherham welcome to pw

I do struggle with incomers I forget that they are dropping and more than likely miss above

I only know that is there a flight line Into them and are the feeding on them

I was going to shoot it then Left one for my shooting buddy As a few more came over my left shoulder

Found a few shots the last one is long but it wasn’t the Longest

But we are talking clays and why do pros in competition shoot gun up on less it’s fitasc

No videos unfortunately I’m just glad I had a witness to the shots

But I’m not shooting quarry so do you sit at the stand with the gun a cross your lap pouring a cup of coffee a some stands

Count n mount I think is the best method

We have sparrow hawks 80 yard away From a barn owl box in concrete and tin storage bunkers at work

Well I met with Jdog for the third time this week (very generous man you know) at around 3pm we had previously talked about the options which where a standing rape field still getting hammered and just showing mustard .... Jdog was going to set up on the mustard and send me to checkout the rape field as I arrived at the top of the rape field about 20 or so birds lifted but at the bottom of it there was a lot of movement so I thought I would give it a go at the bottom sun behind wind slightly behind and from the right as I drove to the set up point I’d chosen there must have been 200 birds lift up sadly after set they all decided that the top of the field was the best place to dine I gave it an hour had one or two kind of look at the magnet but unlike yesterday I couldn’t hit them ... after a call of off Jdog who was having as much luck as me I bangered the top of the field to see I would have any joy ( didnt have any ) Or pack up and join jdog .. as I got to Jdog his fortunes had change and he was building a nice bag I set up 50 yard to his left the bird did come in either fast above from behind some from the left and some on a returning flight line that may fancy a snack on their way home ... my first kill was a 45 yard crosser which made me grin again after the first couple of hour after that I hit a shot I will never ever replicate again I didn’t shoot many but the ones I did will be etched in my memory forever yet again another great day with the legand that is Jdog great company great afternoon shooting class bloke and a true friend ( even though I’m never getting invited again) cheers .. the bag was 28 picked about 5 lost p.s. jdog didn’t shoot too bad either

It’s got plenty of scratches on it anyway I was trying to give it the golf ball effect

Thankyou Jdog for yet another invite and the 110 mile Round trip is well worth it for the company and chance if not always to have a day like that shooting I hit my PB and we could have probably got more if not for the interruption From the locals as the birds where still decoying as I stood the talking to them😡😡😡 ... shotkam video posted on sporting videos if anyone wants to watch

Went to meet Jdog again today Very generous for inviting me again .. he gave me a pea field that had been hammered by pigeons for weeks but unable to shoot ( see jdogs post) Anyway jdog trusted me to keep the pigeons off it for the afternoon as I have now graduated his beginners coarse while he and mighty mariner went to shoot another ... I set up with a magnet and 24 shells and with in minutes the birds where coming in some at a good to far distance I carried on some good form from Tuesday but did miss some easy ones as ye do.. Jdog came and join me as he was getting blown away where he was positioned In the other field but also perfect timing due to my second visit from a local ... After an hour Jdog told I was either not getting invited again or we must social distance by 100 meters I’m guessing this was because I was shooting well and he was not getting my usual left overs🤣👍☹️We ended the day with 50 in our field MM with 22 in his so a good day all round .., anyway here’s my hits and some misses hope you lik

Mardled 😕 Thanks hope it stays that way

These are a few shots I caught on the cam out on the peas on Tuesday while out with Jdog and gingercat also got to say cheers to barney (The ever improving gun dog) for picking the last 2 birds in the vid

I had the Jdog introduction to pigeon shooting and that gets you addicted

Yep rang them the other day font know if there selling carts though never asked
