smig4373 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Had an unexpected day off today so went in search of some woodies...Found a few floating around over some Rape stubble...Quick call to the farmer and got a day pass to shoot that field...Set up at 1pm..Slow going as first and quite hard...They weren't coming in to to pattern very well...Had magnet out at first...Eventually brought it in,took the arms off and pushed them in to the ground to use as make shift floaters...Seemed to work ok...Shot 2 birds with 1 shot TWICE..and had several left and rights.which always makes me smile..As the light began to dim,i put the magnet back out again..There were several 20/30 minute lulls but at the finish id shot 48 pigeons (45 picked) and 1 crow...A personal best for me shooting solo...Not a massive bag compared to you northern boys,but for Cornwall..That's a respectable bag..All in all...a great day..

soreshoulder Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 i did that once with the magnet arms in spring on the drillings, problem was the squares at the bottom got filled with soil which dried rock hard and meant that i couldnt get the arms back on the magnet next time i went out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teal Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Good shooting smig, glad to hear that you are getting amongst them I did catch a few bass by the way, between us we had 6 - but they weren't of much size unfortunately. Hope the poloshirt is wearing well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
