6.5x55SE Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Saturday morning i took my 13yr old Grandson to try for a Goose with my 20ga he has just started using, with a very strong wind and rain i did say you might struggle this morning. Loaded with Hevi-Shot 3's my mate had loaded we waited and watched several Geese flight by when a bunch turned out of the wind and speed at us about 35yrd up, advising Conor you going to have swing fast for these what followed will live with us both forever. Conor went up as you would a high driven Pheasant and well an truelly Stuffed a Pink which fell stone dead 80yrds behind us. To say i was so proud of him is a understatement. I also shot 2 Pinks 2 Greys and a Shovler which was a total surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5x55SE Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks Gents for your kind comments. Conor is still Hyper and praying for the coming Moon Kent in 40yrs I've never seen a Shoveler where we shot the Geese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
