Morning chaps .

well I had another day out on sunday , only this time I went out with the sole intention of bagging some crows/rooks , I got to my spot and set up buy 8 am ( ish ) started off with 6 dead rooks on cradles , it was quite sunny already by this time , and thought it could be a bit of a problem , I had to use my spare net to cover my barrow and so I didn't have enough to make a roof over the hide , so found a spot that would keep me tucked away in the shade for most of the day , and just lifted my poles up as high as I could and me tucked down a low as poss , Not ideal but I will know next time .

still the day went well , I had a mixture of RC sipe , and gamebore clear pigeon . The RC's were as always superb ( in my gun ) however the clear pigeon 32 grm fibre didn't seem to be as good , well not with the big carrions at least , I mainly noticed it when the shot was taken as the bird was flying away , some that had a good hit , yet still needed a second shot to bring them down , still they done the job , This is not me slating the clear pigeon , I suspect they just don't pattern as well as the RC's in my gun , ( will be spending some time on the pattern plate very soon ) I will say that the RC's certainly do kick the hell out of the carrions , one very very hard hitting cartridge IMO .

 

anyway I packed up at 4pm with a total bag of 110 shot , 107 picked up

 

carrions 54

rooks 35

jackdaws 16

woodies 2

Superb video and cracking shots.........by the way what camera mount are you using.....I just got myself a go pro...

hi ,

 

im using a sony hdr15 head cam , its just the one that came with it , problem is , I wear peltor headphones and because I had my hood up , headphones on top then the cam over the top of that lot , after about 15 mins its that tight it starts to give me a headache , if I wear ear plugs its fine , but I don't like them , I need to look for a better one me thinks .

If you could get the camera right behind the gun you would make a really excellent tutorial video. Great shooting.

I have played about with that idea but problems I have found , attaching it to the gun tends to upset the balance of the gun, also ruins the sight picture .

that said I wont rule it out , there's always a way ;-)

Great video !!!!

 

Think I might get myself one of those cameras.... Do you need an editing suite on your pc or can it all be put together on your phone ???

I just use the pre installed software on my pc . Trust me ..... if I can do it anyone can !

Stevo you are giving us quite a lesson of late.

jDog ,

 

there are only three lessons I have learnt over the years pigeon shooting that I feel I would be qualified to give haha

 

#1 buy warm clothes, shooting in spring / summer is just the farmer/ landowner rewarding you sitting for out all day in the winter months shooting naff-all

 

#2 buy a good seat

 

#3 buy a big flask

 

regarding anything else to do shooting pigeons .......... ask others on here , there are much better qualified folk to ask . I just do what works for me

 

regards stevo

That's a good bag and a nice video. I'm not a massive fan of the slow-mo sections as there is no sound.

Try some smaller shot sizes on the crows. I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

motty , that's a very good point mate , I was talking to my shoot partner last night and I was saying a similar thing , im off out in the morning ( bank holiday Monday ) and I was looking through my odds n **** box and have found some RC2 competition , there an ounce of 6 . and some Fiocchi Top one , with are an ounce of 7 , im thinking I will have better results than the RC sipe .

still tomorrow will tell .

 

I know what you mean on the slow mo , but to be honest the cam is still very new and its a bit of a novelty ;-) it will soon where off .
