benbull Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi All, I'm Ben from Saffron Walden, not too far from Cambridge... After picking up about 400 acres to shoot on, had my first pigeon outing a few weeks back over some rape stubble, managed to shoot a 'massive' 8, and probably missed 4 times that! Planning a second outing this friday, weather looks good and I've got my eyes on a wheet stubble field that seems popular with the pigeons. Also, just picked up some new 29g, 6 shot - Kent High Velocity Pigeon cartridges, which I thought sounded good. I shoot with an old side-by-side and its very light, so kicks like hell! ...the 32g's I used last time weren't much fun (overs from a pheasant shoot last year). Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi' and thanks to all for the current topics on the forum, I've learnt a lot from a few hours reading, much appreciated! Cheers, Ben. PS. would be great to hear from anyone else in the local area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
