M.I.A Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've been using lyalvale supreme game, 32g no 5 shot. Great all rounder and perfect for those higher birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoz82 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Also how many carts do you need for an average pheasant shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've been using lyalvale supreme game, 32g no 5 shot. Great all rounder and perfect for those higher birds I used those last year in 34g and they were awesome. This year i've gone for Black Gold 32g5's and they are also very good. jmoz82, last weekend i used 27 on a day with a 92 bird bag, but it'll depend on how many birds you expect to get and how good a shot you are. I always have spare boxes in the car just in case. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Any top brand with a 5/6 shot is fine.What is expected bag?take too many not too few!!enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddywack12 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Also how many carts do you need for an average pheasant shoot? It depends on what the expected bag is going to be. Is it a 50 bird day or a 300 bird day? Whatever you do make sure you do not run out it is really bad form to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 30-32g #5 is a good compromise between the big loads and the "too" light loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul T Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 hi iam going on my fist pheasant shoot in a couple of weeks and wanted to know what 12 gauge carts are best for pheasant ive been told that hull high pheasant 30gr 6 shot whould be ok what are your thoughts? my gun is a beretta silver pigeon 1 sporter if that makes any diffrence. cheers james 30g of no6 is fine, but if the shoot is known for testing high birds I'd go up to 32 of no5 Also how many carts do you need for an average pheasant shoot? As others have said, depends on the bag but do not run out - that's the ultimate faux pas . Don't work on an average per gun as it might be 'peggy' and allow for misses.

ollie Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Depends on what type of shoot it is. Our shoot is a syndicate rough shoot so I take both 32g 7's and 32g 6's. For the drives I walk I use 7's as the birds are normally quite close and there is always a chance for a woodcock. For the drives that I stand I will put in 6's for the birds which are that bit higher and further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highseas Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 most our drives are what most shoots call "high" and most guns hear use eather starlight 32-6s starlight 30-6s or custom printed lyvale 28gram-6s and they drop birds all day long and some of thease birds are very very high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
