The Pest Expert Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I've been on the clays but my shots not up to much yeah I can hit most but think there flokes but when I get invited pigeon shooting I hit like 10 birds for 75 carts I think need more time on the clays! But what lead to you give to a pigeon I now it all depends on the wind speed and everything else but if you was roost shooting as the birds fly outta the trees what lead what you give them ? Do you pull in front and try and work out 3 feet or do you think 2 pigeons size or what techneats (dunno how you spell it) do you use ?? Also people say to put your deeks out at 30 yards how many feets that ? I don't no yards haha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 that makes for scary reading dont think you can tell someone how much to lead a pigeon as you correctly say to many variables and each one is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 As docholiday has already said, there's no answer to your question because every scenario is different. But in answer to your second question, one yard is approximately three feet or a long stride as you walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shropshire_Lad Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi, do you have a local Skeet layout? and a good coach who is reasonable in price? It will be money well spent in the long run. There is no easy way to get results, sight pictures take a long time to build up and shooting real Pigeons is different from Clay Pigeon shooting. I struggled for years on my own before taking a lesson or two, it helped no end but I don't shoot enough to become a realy good shotgun man. atvb Paul.

Scully Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 You mentioned in a book that the author shoots underneath(?)I tend to 'blot out' the bird whether it's a crosser or coming straight overhead towards me.As soon as I've swung through it I take the shot.Try speeding up your swing and go right through the bird from behind,this prevents you from stopping your swing.It can be frustrating 'til you connect,and then you have some idea where your shot is going. I'm sure you'll get all the help you need from those on here you're going to meet up with.Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
