activeviii Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Very wet start to the day. the odd bird came in between the very heavy rain that the morning gave us but last afternoon the sun tried to come out and the pigeons sort of came for a look. Wind was left to right and sun was high left so not he best place to be but 40 yards off the flight line and where the birds had been for a few days. It shot ok in the end even if some of the birds where fast crossing but thats pigeon shooting for you, if it was easy then we would soon get bored. hour and half drive for Brown Sauce him so I'm just glad the i could get a few birds to play for him. 71 Picked up but a few lost behind and then we had the 'Hard' birds that come with bullet proof vests that Brown Sauce gave 3 shots of 32-6 at and they still fly on. Well done Brown Sauce, Some very good shooting there. hope you enjoyed All the best Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Sauce Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 A massive thank you to activeviii and the dogs. What a day, set off a tad early and with a heavy right foot, arriving at Michaelwood services (20 mins from activeviii) about an hour and a half before our arranged time oops!!! Having never been out on the pigs before, it was a real treat to learn the ropes of setting up a hide and decoy pattern. A steady stream of birds came in to start with and then about 3 hours of rain. Once it cleared through we started to get a dozen birds coming in all at once, now started to learn not to change your mind of which bird to hit, missing behind, to the left, right, over and under, plus swearing a lot. Did manage a lovely high bird, gave it a good amount of lead/lead, wings folded up and the forward momentum carried it out about 70 yards. Thanks again and can't wait for the next outing. Oh and I'll be relieving evil bay of a few items!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I'll be relieving evil bay of a few items!! It was good to see that you were so excited before your day out that you turned up well in advance of the appointed time. Good that you had a fine day as your reward. That is how it should be. I have had plenty of days pigeon shooting but I never cease to be excited about going out. The day i see it as a chore will be the day I decide never to go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
