Guest stevo Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone , well I have had a right nightmare this weekend with regards shooting , decided to take the day off on Friday , and all was looking good , turned up , got set up and it wasn't long before some plum with a petrol strimmer started about 75 yrd behind me in the next door field , I kid you not when I turned around to see what he was doing , I saw this young lad standing in a field up to his knees in grass and weeds with about 10 acres in front of him to do . I couldn't believe it . I thought he has either annoyed his boss or he is on community service , anyway as you can imagine nothing would come near me , so I packed up with the right hump ! so today I thought I would try again , I still had all my gear in the Van ( apart from gun/carts ) turned up at shoot and it was boiling ,really humid and when I looked, the only jacket I had was my big padded camo deer hunter !!! I couldn't believe it . thought I had my mesh suit in the back .well I was absolutely boiling , my jacket was soaked and every time I went to swing the gun I seemed to be fighting with a wet/sweaty jacket ha-ha ..... what a dim-Witt . and of course being in a hide with a roof on meant no air in there it was nearly unbearable , and then to top it off , matey with the strimmer from the other day , came out with a chainsaw ( not happy ) but he packed it after 5 mins . it was just one of those days when it just don't seem to flow , still a very big lesson learned today ........ make sure I have the right jacket in the van !! managed to get some footage , ended up with a mixed bag of 66 . carrion , rooks , jackdaws and a few woodies anyway , usual set up with 28 grm NSI # 6 and a full choke www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LMHsfvawdo&feature=youtu.be Edited June 8, 2014 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I haven't watched the video yet, will do that later. Why didn't you just wear no jacket, Stevo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I haven't watched the video yet, will do that later. Why didn't you just wear no jacket, Stevo? With my lilly white skin motty I stood out like a sore thumb . The day was ok . I just made it hard work for myself . Still we all have days like that now and then . In fact you have just reminded me . I wanted to ask you . When you wear your cam all day do you get a headache ? I don't have it very tight . Just enough to stop it wobbling about . I just wondered if anyone else has a similar problem . I would like to be able to keep it on all all day . But about 20 mins at a time is about it .

Guest stevo Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thank you pest control . I think there a great cartridge . There cheep . Seem to hold a good pattern out to some respectable ranges . To be honest I sort of dismissed them until a good friend of mine gave me a slab . Since then I have been sold on them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having my cam on makes my head hurt a bit. I do take it off every now and again to give my head a rest. The ache is less when I wear my thick balaclava (but only in winter).

Guest stevo Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 yeah I know what you mean motty , its does my head in because I end up missing loads of footage with the cam , I am working on customizing an old pair of head phones , just have to see if it works , I don't want to put a barrel mount on , as I want to see the bird come in on the film . Still im sure I'll sort it . Another good video and good shooting. cheers mate , HURRY UP AND GET YOUR CAM SORTED !!! .......... please ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I note that wearing the heavy jacket severely hampered your shooting - not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
