I saw one of my rape fields being cut yesterday afternoon, so managing to finish work early this afternoon I headed up for a go at the woodys.

 

Set up with 10 flocked shells and a few full bodied decoys, a flapper and rotary (when I dropped the first few birds)

 

The rotary was set off to one side, and about 10yrds out, from the hide.

 

There was a steady flow of birds comming into the field and a good few decoyed nicley.

 

I used some of the new Gamebore clear pigeon cartridges, 30g #6's fiber wad through the Browning Maxus, which I thought performed very poorly. I had a good few birds which where hit hard, but started walking about once on the ground :blink:

 

I also had a pocket full of other cartridges which all killed perfectly. The last time I had that many pricked birds was when I used a clay load of #7.5.

 

Wont be getting any more fiber wad clear pigeons again

 

Any way, ended the day with 119, picked up 107 with thanks to MJT's dog Sweep

 

 

Good write up and picture. I like the Kahki Jimny. My wife had one until recently which I used a lot, its amazing where they will go.

 

On the cartridge subject I concur with your findings on the 30g 6's I too seemed to get a lot of runners. I have changed in recent weeks to Special game 28g of No. 5, same 1/2 choke in both barrels and those I have been hitting are dead before they hit the ground.

I usually use an Express 28g #5's, which produces the same results, very dead in mid air
