Hubertus Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 remmy, thats a bloody good quota 1:1,37 you shot yesterday. What is you strategy. When do you shoot the pigeons? When they turn by and want to land or before? Hubertus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remmy1100 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) yeah all birds flying i set up pattern as typical horse shoe ,magnet at front,centred 15.yards out,twelve shells on spring sticks per side ,pecker bang in centre of landing zone then floater out at 30 yards out ,i use that as my range marker for back birds ,so i can shoot front birds committing to pattern then catch back birds trying to escape,works for me .out again tomorrow on some rape.my ratio has not always been good but i do a very lot of pigeon shooting so it comes with regular decoying work.used to the new franchi raptor now she handles a dream ,much better than previous berreta al 391,i think alot of people make do with a gun that doesnt suit them and this doesnt help there ratio/bag thanks Edited February 21, 2006 by remmy1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
