Aghhhhhh Don't worry, you know I made a thread about the farmer re-drilling one of the pea fields? - turns out he's redrilling the other two today. (and they've stopped feeding on the drill from the first field). Oh well, I'll give it a go tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 20 or so. It would of been a better day but the wind was strong, the place I wanted to go someone had put a sodding horse like 10 meters from where my hide would of been. The other option was to set up with the fight line going the wrong way, so I set up agaist a tree between.Apart from my hide getting blown to bits it was okay. Shot like a **** but I did have a difficult shooting position.Oh well, hopefully they'll start feeding on either of the two other fields, which are a lot easier to shoot from.

Just out of interest, why was the shooting position dificult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just out of interest, why was the shooting position dificult? Shooting half way into a ditch, with a tree hanging over my head . I managed to find a small flat-ish bit but it wasn't perfect, everything ended up very wobbly, if you where given shots that allowed you just to "poke" at pigeons you where fine but I was having real issues with anything that involved swinging the gun further than a foot.
