Edward Imp Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Our permission has been largely cut now and there appears to be days when the pigeons are plentiful or non-existent, but little in-between! A reconnaissance trip last Tuesday revealed good flight lines and an abundance of pigeons, sadly I couldn’t get out until Friday, and then for just a couple of hours...... A set up a normal layout along with my rotary- all looked good, but I had only seen a few pigeons on entering the field. I waited for quite some time probably about 45 minutes until my first customer arrived, but this was a small group of rooks, however I obliged them anyway! I shot just one pigeon in three hours, and I couldn't retrieve him from the undergrowth anyway, however I did end up with a small bag of about 14 rooks and crows which provided a good couple of hours of sport- three of the rooks were shot inside of one minute, but all in different groups- which surprised me, but not as much as me actually being able to hit them consistently. I would have shot more but I had foolishly decided to clean my SX3 in the field and I spent half an hour on the internet watching videos on how to reassemble the breach and align the slider! Not simple like a Beretta! Picture of my bag of rooks and crows..... Hope this is not too boring? I just thought I would share my experienece lately here in Cheshire....
