evening all

 

had a good roost flight tonight. went up my bit of woodland but shot on the other side that i dont usually shoot, but did tonight cos of how the winds was. had a few shots and picked up 6 plump birds at the end of it. the birds were just right coming overhead just over the tree tops. my trusty aya had an outing and didnt disapoint makes a nice change to use it after using my auto for a while.

 

all in all a very enjoyable flight one that will remain for a while in my mind

 

cheers BS :lol:

did a few hours saturday afternoon shot about 18 ,mate shot 15 pigeons coming in to roost most were high up, but i did a few magical shots that i was well happy with ,it was one of the best days iv had for a long time did miss a lot to tell you the truth as most were high up but they kept on coming in ,in flocks of 3,12 and 20 pigeons at a time so they are breaking up at long last ,going to have a good day soon :P , i ..was useing no6 36grams they were dead in the air then ran out and back on the no6 30 and 32 gram shells i going to buy 36grm from now on far better kills ..i dont know if there dead in the air or just weighted down with the lead of them 36gms :/

32in :/ my kind of gun and full choke in both its a hit or miss then, far better to learn with this kind of gun as you can tell were your hitting them with a tight choke ..1/2 choke is about the lowest i will go unless there real close ..try some 36grm shells if you can aford them as most pigeons will drop in the field and not in the next :P

Went for a few hours in the woods on saturday but even though I was in an ideal spot with a gap in the trees in front for the birds to come through, lovely ivy trees all around and a nice big bush as a natural hide in front of me I shot 0 woodies as the didn't come in to that part. Oh well there's always next week all I did manage was squirell.
