sitsinhedges Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Not that many but awesome sport. Flicking high over the tree tops out of nowhere with a moment to gauge whether they are shootable or miss my chance. For the reloaders I was using 25grains of NG80 over 30grams of no6, seems like a real fast load and really pulls them down from a height. The gun is only 6 1/2 lbs so can be swung on to them fast enough to have a fighting chance of a kill. I'll be glad when the trees finally give up all their leaves so I can get a clearer view of what's heading my way. All full of acorns or haw berries, wheat from heaven knows where and very little rape Edited November 23, 2013 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Nice job SIH. Ideal gun for a bit of shooting where you need fast reactions. We had a walk and stand day Friday but still a lot of leaf for roost shooting. It's dropping quick though after a few frosts last week.

I seem to recall that last year the leaves were pretty much gone at the start of November. Maybe the temperatures were lower then and the winds higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the components are alloy based rather than steel, the fore end nut for example is a plastic coated alloy and even the walnut is chosen from a less dense type. Loses about a pound in weight which is a lot if you're carrying it far or holding it ready to shoot for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Nice little bag there Andy. Just shows that its not all about getting large numbers, but the quality of the day I expect the wheat was from pheasant feeders somewhere nearby. They are having a real go on some of my shoots, as are the squirrels I was chatting to a keeper a couple of days ago and he was saying there is so much food around, acorns, beech mast etc, that the pheasants aren't touching the feeders.
