iamspartacus Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Someone posted on here a tip about taking some old cd's or white carrier bags, tie them to a stick and plong them in the other side of the fields. I tried this once or twice and it does help, especially if you can see that there are 6 or 7 popular spots for pigeons in a huge field, and theres only one of you! BTW, 47 is a great bag, thats some good shooting. IAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
