activeviii Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yesterday i was invited to join one of the guns off a shoot to go and have a go at the pigeons on the roost. as he has a shoot on the land and in the woods are the pens so yesterday was the first chance he had to get out. I arrived at 2:30 put my barrette and 50 carts on the back of his mule and was driven over to the woods. never had it so go, normally i have to walk. I did ask if 50 cartridges would be enough, the reply was, if i get though 50 carts then im doing well. Well, what can i say. it was the best roost shooting i have ever had, the rain stopped but the wind stayed. the birds came in like rockets, playing on the wind, if you missed with the first then dont bother with the second because they would be in the next county by the time the pellets got to them. The gent went and got another 75 cartridges which didnt last long and then went and grabbed the rest out of my boot locker. I was totally spoilt, very well looked after and very appreciated for what the land owner had done for me. never been looked after so well or had birds like it. Time was called well before dark to allow the birds to get in on their roost and i was told there might be another evening coming up. how many cartridges? who knows, who cares. it was fantastic shooting. we picked up 55 birds, there was a few more we couldn't find. More than anything this is a BIG thank you to the land owner, Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
