srspower Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I was asked to shoot some woodpigeons over a failed crop reseeded with grass on sunday. It was a windy day and I had to be careful of the sheep but it was surprisingly good shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootgun Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Nice video Who are you trying to convince every time the pigeon is down though? On another note, your hide looks quite funny with the poles sticking above the net , and is not doing you any good, it might limit your swing/follow through... Just my opinion ...

The Essex Hunter Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thank you for posting. As others have said your hide building could reduce your chances. JD you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink....they have had good advice on what to do with their poles as the swing of the gun is the only way to connect...... I would say they have tucked there self's in a corner and are not getting the benefit of a better positioned hide.... Some good shots though....with potential to improve the numbers if the advice was taken on board as that is why they are there!! TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I kind of managed to resolve the pole issue by cutting holes in the net. BUT I have another net that goes over it to give it some texture and it tends to pull down on the poles. Still needs more tweaking I think! And yes I didn't realise how many times I said 'down' I guess sometimes you can't help yourself. Thanks for watching guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for watching guys I cant see the how hard it can be to pick up a bit of x army camo and run it around the outside.... The next challenge will be to see you set up in the middle of a field and shoot a bag from a field hide....If you have the alls to do it...?? Tweaking!! is a poor excuse.... Come on SRS..."Down" and get building........ TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex Hunter Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Essex hunter whats ruffled your feathers you seem to be having a right go at him Look at min 4 on this video.... http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/290517-mossberg-vs-browning-pigeon-shooting/ The poles are sticking up so high for no reason at all and the sling gets caught in the pole.... Similar to this last video.....so what have they learnt....apart from how to spell tweaking..... It is the small details that once you put them together makes for a better shooter... Whether you are shooting out of a grouse butt or a clay stand the swing is not interrupted with poles sticking in the way... If your wages were out by one . on the pay slip you would soon be jumping up and down.... £400.00 - £40.00 mind you if it went the other way then accounts would soon be tapping on your door...lol If you adopt that same lack discipline in a centre fire rifle then you are in for a world of pain.......... It looks good on film but as you get older then you start to view things far differently..... TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darno Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Essex hunter whats ruffled your feathers you seem to be having a right go at himHe seems to have a problem with them not taking his advice that they didn't ask for!Not sure why he watches their vids to be honest! He is right about the poles, but no need for other comments. I think that's one of the best vids they have done yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxie Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I`ve noticed your shooting is improving.Or it could be your editing is improving, I`m not sure which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tignme Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Im with TEH on this one. Why have telescopic hide poles and not adjust them to suit your individual standing shooting height,then wear a hat n facemask. Good shooting BTW. Best video yet.

lee-kinsman Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Far to good with that 12 bore for my liking. I'd like to have seen a few more misses and slow mo's of misses. Well done all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Good video. Your shooting is certainly improving since the last decoying video where you shot some birds on the ground. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
