Tim Kelly Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Extraordinary! he was centreing nearly every one judging by the puffs of feathers even at extreme range. Oh to be so skilled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nice to hear a pro recognising the fact some birds need a second shot even if they are coming down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 From the video it is not clear exactly how far away some of the birds were when Digweed shot them. Certainly they were a fair distance, but not 100m or even 90m. Of more interest is how difficult they were. Digweed's ability to read the line of the birds he fires at is the key to his success. Some of those birds were losing quite a few metres in height. How many of us are able to swing down on such birds with any degree of success?

Catweazle Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Nice to hear a pro recognising the fact some birds need a second shot even if they are coming down That struck me too, he gets the second shot into them quickly, whereas I tend to watch for a bit longer and probably let them get out of range. A lesson learned for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitchrat Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Saw it! You would have to be Digweed to get a bird with that hide round here!! Stuck out in the field, silly Xmas hat on, STANDING UP!!?? No Essex bird would come nearer that 60 yards, and I'm struggling at that range!!

Stuck out in the field, silly Xmas hat on, STANDING UP!!?? No Essex bird would come nearer that 60 yards, and I'm struggling at that range!! I agree entirely. Both Digweed and the Crowman stand up in their hides. Still they do seem to get their fair share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchrat Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I agree entirely. Both Digweed and the Crowman stand up in their hides. Still they do seem to get their fair share. I think they get more cooperation from the farmers. Here, they cultivate the stubble ASAP, plough the game cover in etc etc, scare the birds and make them flighty with gas guns and rockets, then complain when they see a bird on their crops. A bird that has been scared eats just as much rape as it would if not scared (or more to fuel all that flying), one in the chiller eats ZERO!!

motty Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I agree entirely. Both Digweed and the Crowman stand up in their hides. Still they do seem to get their fair share. I stand up and watch the pigeons when i'm shooting. I spot them before they spot me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 it's an MX2000 S the King uses -- it wouldn't matter what gun he uses or if he stood up or sat down he'd still shoot more than most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected but you are right he is a top shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocknee Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have shot with both the crowman and George on several occasions George by far is the better shot but in my opinion there is someone who beats them both he is an excellent shot but his fieldcraft is second to none. You can be the best shot but if you are in the wrong place and nothing comes near it counts for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
