adam1 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 How many cartridges do you take out with you for a day on the pigeons, I'm sure it'll depend on the time of year but just wondered ? I for one sadly could not afford to have a red letter day and shoot one of the mega bags that sometimes get reported, especialy at my cartridge to bird ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I leave home with around 500 in the vehicle and take with me into the field what I expect to need, knowing I always have a reserve supply in the truck. If I shoot 500, then I will be very pleased to drive home and get some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Usually 100 in the cartridge bag and another 100/200 in the car. Depending what sort of day you are expecting, but you don't want to get caught out when you could have a great day and you run out of cartridges.

henry d Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 75-100 on me in the hide and 250+ in the motor/hedge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) This time of year I take roughly 100 rounds with me and like other said 500 in the landy. But on some crops like drilled beans in spring peas etc I take 100 rounds with me and keep 1000 rounds in the landy. All the best and one day you will have your redletter day and hope its soon.

I very often leave a spare car key with the farmer so he can run some more over to me on the quad bike if the going gets really hot, you don't want to lose half an hour trudging back and forth whilst they're piling into the deeks. Cat. pS - Cos - keep a few more in the car, one day you'll run out and you'll end up throwing stones at 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
