Chris Bb Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Went to a practice ground this morning where I was offered the following "birds": Startled partridge away Rising mallard & mallard away Rising partridge & slow partridge Varied pheasant & low woodcock Startled woodcock & looper Crossing partridge & crossing pheasant Slow woodcock & quartering partridge Driven pheasant Rabbit & overhead duck Incoming pigeon & teal Are there "standard" names for different clays? To me they're all clay discs of differing sizes at different projections, once I've seen a pair I can work out how to "kill" them (even though I frequently don't). Let's face it, they can't jig around in the sky like real birds and, as has been said before, clay shooting is diverging from game shooting all the time. Also today, with the wind, they were not behaving the same as they would have been yesterday, "birds may vary".

TrapFiller Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sounds like a game day shoot or something along those lines. Most ground only use teal and rabbit names. What was the ground called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the ground called. After about 10 "no birds" from 100 pulled, all of which have to be paid for, nothing I could repeat on this forum!
