WelshAndy Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Wowzer!! Hope they were both ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_martin_ Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just curious. If its been hit by another shooter, why do the pictures show the edge of both holes protruding outwards? Might be wrong but looks as gun was shot whilst there was a barrel obstruction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Defo pigeon hide incident, one side shows where it hit the other where it came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedster Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Blimey, there's another advert for going shooting by yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong but looks as gun was shot whilst there was a barrel obstruction they don't - you can clearly see one side goes in, the other out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Even if no one is injured its still an expensive accident, two in a hide works ok if you have proper discipline , we always take turns on birds , only one gun up at a time. But in general I prefer separate hides, preferrably in different fields, the further away the better, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 over the years I have know one fellow get his fingers blown off by his mate sharing the same hide. And another guy nearly lost his knee cap when his hide companion accidently shot across him and neatly severed a hide pole. very dangerous shared pigeon hides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) over the years I have know one fellow get his fingers blown off by his mate sharing the same hide. And another guy nearly lost his knee cap when his hide companion accidently shot across him and neatly severed a hide pole. very dangerous shared pigeon hides I've always shared a single gun, you get two shots and pass the unloaded gun to your mate (with obvious exceptions to flurries). I think trying to have two people with two guns, shooting at the same time, in the same hide is lunacy.

kennett Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I disagree, have been shooting today in a hide with my friend from work we managed to shoot over 87 without incident. The hide was plenty big enough and we agreed beforehand that we would take it in turns and as each bird came in we told each other who's shot it was, any that came in the wrong side for who ever's turn it was we told the other to shoot it. You just need a bit of restraint and it can work well as you have 2 sets of eyes Edited June 29, 2013 by kennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Its hardly rocket science, I think it makes the day more enjoyable to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwagga10 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Its hardly rocket science, I think it makes the day more enjoyable to be honest I'm with Kennett, myself and SA Shooter always have a good laugh when we share a hide, even better when one of us fire 3 shots and don't hit a bird...we've all been there!
