A good day - for me!

[rodney]

Went out Saturday morning with me mate Roy to shoot over Wheat stubble on a permission i've obtained. Watched the field last week and the pigeons seemed to building up over the week. Weather was cool with intermittent sun and fair breeze. We shot from under an Oak tree in the middle of the field on a flight line. Put down two floaters and a mixture of 18 FUD's and about the same shells then built up with shot birds.

 

We shot from 10.00 with a steady start with it getting busy until we stopped at 1.15 (family commitments). Typical, best day we've had since i started pigeon shooting in January, and still had a slab in the boot ready for a 'Red Letter day' hopefully i've not missed me chance . We picked up 58 with 4 not found (the picture shows 55 but we found 3 more on the way back to the car!

 

 

 

Had some nice high birds with Roy getting our first 'left un right', he hasn't mentioned it since, honest! We shot an equal number of birds and both throughly enjoyed our day shooting 200 cartridges.

 

Bring on the weekend.

Well done - a great result.

 

It's always hard to talk about a good time to stop though. I was shooting Sunday and every time I set a time to pack up, a few more birds came in and wanted to stay! Just the same as the way unscrewing the cap on my flask ALWAYS brings a couple of birds in!

 

Great shooting and enjoy!
