Guest stevo Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Evening all , well on Tuesday this week I had a trip to the Dentist to have a back Tooth out , to be fare the tooth coming out didn't hurt a bit , however since then the pain in my jaw has been horrendous , as much as I wanted to go shooting I couldn't face putting my jaw up against the stock let alone pull the trigger , I tried to had a go last night and managed about 15 shots before I called it a night , as I wanted to save myself for today as long as it calmed down . So I got up this morning , pain has eased right off so I thought sod it im going for it , as long as I take it easy and take Mr Nurofen Express with me I will be fine . so off I went . got to field and set up with 2 dead birds on a magnet , I was shooting over Spring rape . I shot there last weekend , but while I was sat on what seemed a productive line , I notice birds at another field , so I thought I would give it a go . Anyway made a small pattern with 9 dead birds on cradles as I went along . but as I shot birds I bought them in and covered with a net to keep the fly's off , I didn't change the pattern at all , the birds seemed to like it so I just went with it . as I started shooting my jaw was so - so but I was a bit cautious about putting my head right down , so I ended up lifting my head from time to time which was a bit frustrating as I knew I was doing it but had not choice because of my jaw . still as im typing this im really suffering now face is killing me , but you know what's its like .. you just cant keep a good man down . as for carts I was using a mixture of 28 grm 6's with a 3/4 choke . I keep messing about trying different carts but I just cant seem to find one better than the Prima 28 grm #6 in fibre . my A400 just eats them up . also found out today it does NOT like 67mm , I had a few jams , but never with the 70mm stuff , even right down to a 21 grm load , still that's another story. also messed up some of my video as my blooming head cam kept slipping down so I ended up with lots of videos showing the birds dropping , but you cant you cant see the shot cos the cam too low ........ gutted ! still here is some footage from the day , I ended up with 108 woodies , I could have shot more if I had been on my game , but I done my best and I was still very chuffed with the results . regards stevo enjoy Edited June 22, 2014 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I can give you no helpful advice about your decoying or your shooting skills. However may I suggest that you have the rest of your teeth out to prevent a similar problem occurring again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH ive been lucky with my teeth upto now . Only reason I had it out was the filling I had in there ended up with a hairline crack in it . The back half of the filling was moving down and resting on my nerve . He said he would try to root chanel it but I said nah ..... take it out its done with then lol I just forgot about the week of pain after . Still its getting better . Its just the bruising from the extraction . Buy hey guys im touched by your concern :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
