booty68 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Decided to go down to my local permission and shoot the crows eating the drilled wheat .as I walk down the farm track saw a large flock of woodies 200 -300 birds ( not seen that many for ages )what did I not pack you got it pigeon deeks .set up crow deeks and immediately crows and woodies starting coming in and used the first pigeon on my flapper ,pigeons where coming in severel at a time and the semi was kept busy after a initial bad start got my eye in with the new gun .i added shot pigeons to the pattern and they kept coming until I ran out of shells ,(only packed 50 doh).i ended up with 16 pigeons and 8 crows not bad for 1-1/2 hrs .i will be returning over the weekend better prepared .

I have mine setup with a Red dot on it for night time lamping from my quad bike. ATB Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 After reading so many good / bad reports I was hesitent but took the plunge and bought one of the latest external choke models and was plesently surprised how good they are for the money. Fair enough you can buy other s/a second hand for almost simular prices, but the escort is a gun that can get wet, covered in muck and not get to bothered about damaging it.
