Cosd Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just going to get confirmation, but seems at least one spot is filled. If there are any other newbies who would like to take this opportunity to come out and share a hide for the day, please let us know. Mark and I will be setting up in two hides with two newbies where we will be happy to run through all of the setting up, equipment, safety, hide building, decoy layout, dispatch etc. This will be an opportunity to ask as many quesions as you like in a live environment and hopefully have a good day. Just to reiterate, this offer is for anyone who is either new to decoying pigeons or would like to get into it, rather than someone who just doesn't have birds on their permision!! As usual, if you do apply and say you are coming, please don't let us down and waste someone elses chance from coming out. Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Thanks Craig If you haven't already send Mark some details about yourself and any experience you have. Obviously a shotgun cert and insurance is a must and I will speak to Mark about it and one of us will come back to you. Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigyboy21 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I had the pleasure along with timd999 of going out with Cos & Mark yesterday, 2 instantly likable guys who put in a lot of effort to ensure Tim & i had a good day. I was paired up with Mark & having not done any live shooting previously was eager to learn as much as i could. Mark took his time & explained about picking the best spot to site the hide & also ensured i got stuck in with setting it up & laying down the decoy patterns. We started shooting on bean crop stubble at the edge of rape crop, it wasn't long before the pigeon started appearing & i was able to get some shots off. I managed to take down 3 but must have missed a good few more, Mark being the gentleman that he is generally let me take most of the shots but would occasionally show me how it should be done! One of the many highlights was watching a gutsy little sparrowhawk try to lift off with one of the dead decoy pigeons, eventually persuaded to leave with a few choice words! We moved to another site we thought would be promising in the afternoon but despite there being plenty of birds about none were choosing to feed at that time so lived to fly another day. Overall an excellent introduction to pigeon shooting by 2 truely altruistic gentlemen of the sport. My hat off to Mark & Cos for their time, effort & patience, hope to see you again some time lads. If any other newbies out there are reading this and get a chance to go out with the guys, grab the opportunity while you can, you will not be disappointed.

pigeon-hunter Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Good to see there are people offering days and even better to get more people enjoying the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooley Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 please can i be concidered should this opportunity come up again in the future, i am new to PW and have very little decoying experience. have shot on clay grounds for a year or so and have been a handful of times on a friends permission with not too much luck. Would be really good to learn from experienced shooters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
