invector Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I think you should stop at 1/2 choke, maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Unless you are within 15-20 yds I wouldn`t use 32gm 3`sI`d go for BB,remember you need to go up at least 2 sizes from lead to steel 1/2 choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 The course fees are around a £1000 a year ...........All other forms of applicable deterrant have failed also Just picture the senario .........you'd had one of your best rounds and then your presented with a green full of ***** on it .................The final green is set up next to a large water feature Out of interest if there was a season would it apply in this case ,..........Vermin and pest control with a legitamate reason behind it Unless you are within 15-20 yds I wouldn`t use 32gm 3`sI`d go for BB,remember you need to go up at least 2 sizes from lead to steel 1/2 choke Can you elaborate further Henry ................I'm no wildfowler ...............This is strictly the elimination of unwanted vermin /pest and will probably be an unsporting approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadeye ive Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well was up at 4 this morning ...............Loads of Ducks on the pond but by the time I'd left at 7 I did'nt see any Geese ..................I can only go on the groundsmen reports stating that they are always around first thing in the morning .........Not in this case though . Got a brace of rabbits though which was hard work considering the Wind and the fact I'd did'nt dress like a golfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
