Hi Duffryn. Well done on a very watchable video.

I was just interested to know how you knew when to change your cartridges on the first drive.

Thanks . The keeper blows a whistle before the beaters put the ducks up they don't hang around for long. Its a good system and works well. I'll try and include it in the video next time we have a mixed drive

Good video, and some great shooting, especially on peg 9

Great video. A fantastic watch and really good quality even as I watched it full screen

Great Video and a lovely looking shoot there! Would love a steady dog like yours!

Amazing video, the quality of the gopro is incredible for such a tiny camera with fixed lens! Rob is still amazing, I feel like starting a fan club for him

Couldnt help noticing your hold your gun very short with your left hand.

Might improve your swing especially on crossers if you lengthened your grip.

Duffryn,

Hi - great, as usual, but I watched this one looking at you, rather than at the birds.

Just a few observations to make and for you to ignore if you choose.

You flick your gun as you pass the head and, in a number of cases, introduce too much lead.

The ones you hit really well were a steady swing with no changes in swing speed but just keep on swinging. On several shots I noticed you dropped your right shoulder slightly as you followed and fired, particularly on the pheasants following the wood with the maize cover crop down the side - (where Rob ran - in on one bird you shot). If I might suggest, I find the easiest way to get the thing to come together is by having the comb of the butt under your right armpit. As the bird approaches, look over the rib tip directly at the bird and push forward with your left hand to lift the gun to a good mount, head as still as possible,the butt comb between teeth and cheekbone, touching neither. Follow the bird from behind a fair way pick up speed as you pass through the bird and fire the shot about a length in front and keep swinging until the bird drops or you adjust for a second shot.

I think another key thing is to make sure you turn with your shoulders absolutely in a level plane, any dips and the shot goes over or under the bird.

Hardly critical as you shoot more than most normally, but it might help a bit.

Rob looks like he's fed on Tuna - fantastic shiny coat.

Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks I'll give that go tomorrow

Thanks Kes a lot to remember but I will give it a go tomorrow. PS Rob has Tuna once a week as a treat

Excellent video well worth a watch compared to some geese going over getting an unlucky steel pellet in some videos that do my head in !

This is how it should be done and looks a lovely bit of ground to shoot over with some cracking birds !

 

Superb
