fenboy Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I had a go on the fields at the back of my house today since there was a field cut last week . There has been no number of birds on it but I just wanted to get out and I know this field has a flight line pass over it so there is always a chance. After a hour and a half with only one bird in the bag I thought I had got things wrong and that I would be posting about yet another disaster of a day, but things soon changed for the better ,I managed a second bird and put the magnet out and it was as if a switch had been flicked. Suddenly there were birds coming out of nowhere and perfectly into my pattern of 24 pro decoys , flapper and magnet . I was shooting really well considering I have not put many shells through the new gun yet , I even managed 2 triples and the bag began to build nicely Lots of young birds about today which were suckers for the magnet. I finished with 73, only 70 in the photo , I picked 3 driving off the field . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Triples? I am lucky to get a double. A good report which shows that the flight line is everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 thats a good day there pal. how do you rate the gun, cheers simon I like the versamax , not had any jams yet and I have put a load of 67mm cartridges through it with no issues , it fits me well and is the softest shooting auto I have had and handles well despite being a tad on the heavy side My only niggle is the end cap works its way loose after a few shots and twice the stock bolt has come loose too after a good few shots , I will stop that with a dab of thread lock but will still have to keep an eye on the end cap.

motty Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well done, Fenboy. How do you find the prodecoys? I'm not a big fan. Some of mine have broken and have turned almost purple from the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well done, Fenboy. How do you find the prodecoys? I'm not a big fan. Some of mine have broken and have turned almost purple from the sun. Mine are the new ones that A1 are doing , not sure if they are the same as the original pro decoy . I did think the colour of mine was a little dark but in the couple of times I have used them they have worked fine , though I cannot give a long term review. I only really use decoys when there are lots of flies about and I dont want to leave dead birds out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well done Fenboy great shooting with the new gun....not taken you long to get the hang of it. I thought it was a Hatsan when I first saw it....haha...sorry I was just thinking that it was obvious to me that they were young pigeon at the back of your house....you have shot all the older one's.
