captainsensible Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi All After getting the pigeon shooting bug following two outings with a friend last year (on a two acre field at the bottom of his garden),I went out yesterday for my first solo venture. I had read this forum for quite a while and cannot understate the help it has been to me. The Shooters Warehouse lightweight rotary and hyperflaps performed flawlessley and I moved location when it seemed neccessary. Anyway, despite the frequent trips to the car (don't mind a bit of rain but not hailstones) I shot for two hours for a grand total of 2. First shot - 1 dead pigeon then 5 misses before a curios crow got too close. Lost the pigeon in tall wheat but overall a very happy (and soaked) shooter. Also met another shooter (it's a paid permission - yes I know!) who was extremely friendly and helpfull so I wasn't surprised to find out that he was another PW Member. Nice to meet you Kwagga10 They are cutting the fields this week so will definitely get out again, this time, hopefully, better weather, more birds and a bigger dent in the 125 shells I carried. You never know Cheers Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good for you If it helps I was using a Muzzleloader and shot maybe 25 shots for 7. I don't care really, sometimes less is more U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well done, the first of many days.Remember the things that work and don't forget to move or change things during the day if you see birds passing and taking no notice of your decoys.

Ireland's Finest! Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good man fair play to you for giving it a go solo. You'll only gain more experience and eventually shoot bigger bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Good man fair play to you for giving it a go solo. You'll only gain more experience and eventually shoot bigger bags. Agree, I started off solo, spent most of my shooting time watching and learning before getting double figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainsensible Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks for all the kind wishes and encouragement. Yes, you are right TrapFiller, I was very carefull with the gun. I had intended to warm up with some clays in the morning but my mate had to cancel so I took the 682 Gold E to the field rather than go back home first, for probably it's one and only trip. I have an AYA s/s and Urika Semi that will be my normal travelling companions Cheers again Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
