2bangs Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 We feed the pond regularly, around 10 bags of barley / wheat a week, canny expensive but well worth it on a shoot night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricka Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 That is a lot of feeding, but with numbers like that it shows its well worth it. Have a cracking night and I'm sure ya will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bangs Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Bit late with an update, but better late than never, it was a bad night for a flight pond, clear skies, not a breath of wind either, still managed 35 in total, loved every minute.

Thats a good bag,how many of you shoot it and just out of interest how big is the pond,me and a mate shoot a pond it's 45 yard across,most we've ever had is 19 usually get around 10 though we put about 2, 25 kilo bags a week of food on it.
