some form of diagram would be good mate if poss let us know how you get on the weekend with it.

i was 1/4 and 1/2 but when we go to the roost shooting i tend to go 3/4 for choke barrel.

fingers crossed mate you never know

my brother in law just picked up a aya for £90 second hand perfect condition if you shop around you can really pick up a bargin.

i to have a springer bought him as a semi trained yound dog at a year and a half old he is out in the kennel most of the time does not mind. We do have a little staffi that lives in. Buying a gun dog was the best thing I have ever done, It is nice just to go sometimes with dog and gun they really are mans best friend would not be without mine now.

it does seem like that at the mo. which ever gun shop you speak to they are in short supply of all caliber ammo something to do with the iraq situation at the mo.

you used to be able to get kp salt and vinegar peanuts cannot seem to get them anymore they were the muts nuts.

hull 20b sterling game 6 shot 30gram or for 12b eley hi flyer found they perform very well all round. (Providing they are pointed in the direction)

what chokes do you guys normally opt. for over a standard decoy pattern then do you tighten up if roost shooting?

probaly one of the hardest shots when you are decoying mate you normally just have to try and pull down through it but remenber if the wind is behind you as well the bird will have quite a shift on normally. If you can not master it try on some clays.

Nice to see some good gun safety put into to place (NOT), the dogs were well under control i think not only in america!!!!!!

i have a 54 plate mate d22 cannot fault it comfy on long journeys as weel as short, Tows hard dont think you can go wrong as long as it has been maintained properley.

nice pics mate sounds like ya had a good time well done.

Is there any land they shoot on in east anglia region as I am not sure where i can veiw the lists.

If only i were closer would of grabbed ya arm off mate.

yep seen three or four so far since that cold speel come not long back and we saw a couple of snipe the other day.

I have found that birds are normally very reluctant to land in the pattern with a magnet going they will sometimes land on the edge or behind if you did that well mate you aint doing much wrong well done and good shooting.

round are way they either grit far to early or far to late like you say does no good for the paint. If they do it to early the grit is more slippery than the ice that comes later anyway.

i do love early mornings if I can get out of bed, can be even better this time of year to decoy as they leave there roosting wood before they get to ganged up.

that is a very impressive bag Im sure his shoulder is feeling it now, Hurry up and get the pics up mate!!!!

most of the birds here seem to be on stubbles or lifted potatoe fields because they are in such vast flocks they are being difficult to decoy, I have noticed ther are a hell of a lot of young birds still with the neck bars only now starting to appear.

did have the same problem with the amber filter but like suggested black tape sorts that out. I found the amber filter good because it still gives good distance over the red filter but takes the bright glare off the white light then as you want to take the shot if you are lamping with a buddie get them to remove the filter as the shot is to be taken.

any i shoot normally put out as deeks about 20 yrds away from main pattern you will quite often then pick up a few blackies as well.

ok mate cheers there are a few shops that sell it in my area will possibly give it a go.

have not noticed as much when been driving about now you mention it and you do notice a lot of setaside land is now ploughed. In some areas where ther is no rape it could mean some very good roost shooting to be had as they might stay in woods for the beech masts and acorns more.
