lindsay Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well me and ma wee lad Jake went out for pigeons the day.We took the magnet and some shells and set up a hide on a fence line at front of a wood. Only a few seemed interested! so i sneaked down the fence line to see were they were all heading. Bang, they were all settling on a small turnip field. So we packed up and headed down the fence line and set up again. Within minutes they were all heading back,we had a grand couple of hours out the day. The total was 10(one still up in tree) the wee man was shooting well with some good shots. Once we were leaving i got speaking to the neighbouring farmer and he gave me perrmision to have a crack on his land too B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decoy1979 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Good going, keep up the good work. I find that 5's in a 32gram work for me, my o/u has fixed chokes 1/4 & 1/2, does the job. I try not to think about the cost though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Some nice pictures there. 28gm or 30 gm No6's will be fine for the pigeons and gentle enough on the lad's shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
