turbo33 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Ok so here's a list of where you went wrong: 1) Not wearing camo clothing, and no face veil 2) hide not dressed and blended into the natural surroundings 3) too many pigeons in the "heads up" posture making it look like they are on alert 4) mixing decoys with dead birds 5) missing the obligatory 2 whirlys , 5 floaters and electric flappers,,,,,,,all on timers of course 6) shell deeks not on at least 10" of sprung steel................etc etc Seriously, great day Jdog, its just fantastic when it comes together for us mere mortals who aspire to the pigeon god PC, well done Edited April 11, 2013 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever got it right one day I could be in for some serious shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well done on a top bag, JDog. I too like to have a fair few dead birds 'standing up' like that in the pattern. I had them exactly like that in my pattern on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highbird70 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Usual Young Man beginner luck..... :whistling: Well done John, really please for you, knowing how passionate you are about pigeon decoy....till the point that you worry me at times :lol: There are loads of disadvantages of being self-employed. There is no pay if you don't go to work, or if you are on holiday or if you are ill being just three but there are lots more. There are less advantages but there is an important one which is that time off can be taken to go pigeon shooting if conditions are right. My second consecutive afternoon shooting did not appear to start well. There wasn't a single bird on the spring barley drillings when I turned up to shoot at 1pm. There was a good wind though and when a few birds began to appear from a very distant wood things changed somewhat. I rushed around the headland and set up at the top of a sloping field and from that position I could see birds coming from possibly 1km away, certainly as far as my naked eye could see them. The initial pattern of decoys was all wrong and I had to alter it twice to get birds to come into the pattern as I wanted. From 1:30 to 5:00 there were always birds in the air and I added to the bag with some half decent shots and failed miserably to add to the bag with some silly misses. The decoy pattern towards the end of my session must have looked impressive with over 100 birds in it which seemed to draw birds from all parts of the compass. I picked a total of 133 pigeons for just less than a 'slab' of cartridges. Those hot shots out there amongst PW members would have had more I do not doubt but none would have enjoyed the afternoon more than I did.
