steveyg Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 After posting yesterday that I hadn't shot for a couple weeks,had another offer from Pickerup to join him and his shooting partner of 10 years + today to shoot over rape stubble. We set up in two separate fields,after an hour Pickerup rang me to see how I was getting on..".not a single shot I said" "pack up and you can come and join us" what a gent. Pickerup decided to set up in an adjacent field and leave me with his mate so I could get some shooting... Top Bloke !! This was probably the best flightline I have ever seen,not all the birds came in for a look however quite a few did and we had a quality afternoons sport I got my first ever Double.. :yahoo: :yahoo: I have been shooting six months now and have been working hard to achieve this...30 mins later and I nailed another couple and these were challenging shots...I must have jumped six foot in the air..johns mate nearly wet himself laughing at me we finished the day on 48 picked up with at least three others we couldn't find in a treeline. Due the lads letting me have most of the shooting I finished on 23 which is my 2nd biggest bag. Top blokes...cheers Lads, I had a fantastic afternoons sport... only downside was new phones camera didn't work.. I would have loved a pic of the birds from the last double ...I will remember those shots for a very long time. :yes: :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 This is the sort of post we want to read on this forum. Well done for getting your doubles and well done too to Pickerup for inviting you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropshireSam Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Congratulations....I'm still a newbie as started less than a year ago.....I've had some decent bags but only managed two doubles so to get your first two doubles in one day most have been a great high. Makes up for the "not so good days". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
