Cosd Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Bored so was looking through sites seeing if there's anything to buy for pigeon shooting. There is so much rubbish out there designed to attract the shooters more than the birds :blink: What do you think is designed to do that? I'll start it off with 'CAMO boot bag'! Why the hell do you need a camo one? Stick it out with the decoys maybe Also, what did you buy as a newbie, only to chuck or get rid of as you got more experience? This thread is just a bit of fun, but could also help newbies so they don't waste their hard earned and get sucked in!!

Matt Gould Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 cammo knife, why do we need a cammo knife ? its hidden in your pocket anyway, so we loose it so we have to fork out for another maybe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Pop up hides, what a shame you mentioned them, I have a once used one in the shed, I will have to give it to the grandkids to play with now, as I won't be able to sell it on PW now. Unless of course we could sell all this useless equipment to the crayfishers. Scrap that idea, it will only mean I will buy it all over again :lol: Edited January 17, 2012 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I was going to buy one of these the other day as I keep forgetting which choke is which barrel :-) I've got one, had it given me years ago. But they don't give an accurate read of what choke is in the shotgun, only a rough guess, I've been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
