pedro68 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Had my first outing with a shotgun today, i just recently got my cert and i am still looking for my first gun, the farmer who's ground i was shooting on kindly offered me one of his guns for the day.i set up a hide and placed out my decoys and waited ,in the first hour i had 3 pigeons for 3 shots so i was well chuffed ,this was pretty slow as there are not massive numbers there just now . i managed to add another pigeon and a crow in the next cpl of hours ,so packed up and headed home. not a great bag but i was more than happy.great day out and the beginning of a sharp learning curve.

Alanl50 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Well done mate and its really nice of the farmer to loan you a gun Its not always about the size of the bag, you got some, you had a good day and were safe. Well done again and Ive a feeling more money will leak from your wallet as you get hooked Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro68 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 thanks for the encouragement guys,i can see my budget getting increased already,im after a turbo flapper next, i recon i could have pulled in a lot more birds if i had one, the pigeons were thinking about coming in to my pattern but were landing in the other field where a larger flock had amassed ,but i will just keep adding to my kit until i get all the neccesary tools ,thats part of the fun and challenge i think ,getting the birds to come in without a clue ,im itching to get back out now.
