aga man Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 A recent video from a new series showing the fantastic Yorkshire game shot Dave Carrie shooting partridge at Warter Priory in East Yorkshire.

JDog Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have seen it and he shoots very well but why can't he be more modest about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have seen it and he shoots very well but why can't he be more modest about it? I agree Dave can be a bit 'cocksure' and having seeing him shoot in real life there is no doubt the man can shoot. I have yet to see or hear of him shooting pigeons off a flightline with 6 or 7 shot cartridges. I posted the vid purely for viewing pleasure. Happy new year JDog.

You and I can rest assured that we both shot more pigeons flight lining in 2014 that Dave Carrie did. Happy New Year. I am sure we will catch up again in the spring.

Paul taylor Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's hard to be modest when your a Yorkshire man lol😉 Ps love to you all and have a great 2015👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 He is a great shot; like the Digweed of game shooting, it's hard to be modest when you're that good. Shooting is bound to get boring when you're that good lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on a shoot a few years back and he was the only one there using 42 gram #4s through a trap gun for normal run of the mill birds. But like you say aga man he can shoot good vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting is bound to get boring when you're that good lol. no comparison there, shot duck with GD and he had using a o/u and a 3 shot semi 5 duck dead in the air at least 4 times during the flight! Also saw him shoot 30-40 yard pheasants off the hip ( 5 birds without missing )! Not saying Dave Carrie can't shoot, but put him in the hide with Stevo, that'll show him !

I would have thought any decent shoot would ask the gun to leave if they were attempting to shoot birds off the hip , very disrespectful of the quarry if you ask me.

aga man Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Have to agree there fenboy, as impressive as exhibition shooting is, there is no place for in the shooting field. I am sure most respectable shoots would not have you back. No matter who you was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 it was his shoot! His shoot or not he should still have more respect for his quarry , as people like him are ambassadors for it even more reason to behave in a proper manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berettacocker Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Fair enough, so if you a good shot it's irresponsible to shoot game with say a 410 ? We could go on for ever. This thread was about someone praising the expertise of a certain gentleman , and I was just telling how much more of an excellent shot another certain gentleman is! Happy new year!

telf Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 enjoyed that,thankyou,and the man can shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 All this respect for your quarry clap trap. If the man had five dead in the air and nailed pheasants from the hip and shoots them clean how much more respect can he give than a clean kill. If he is only wounding them show boating different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) So he was not show boating by shooting them from the hip ? was he not saying "look at me everybody" "what a great shot I am " I am amazed you would think its ok to behave in such a way , the time for show boating is on the clays not on live quarry.

motty Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Some very nice shots at partridge,there. Shame about the long rangers that were seen gliding down way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 It seems to go with the territory as a rule the whole self congratulation thing when people are so good at things. Every video I've seen with Digweed in he feels the need to praise himself in one way or another, looking round at the camera shouting 'look at that' or 'did you get that' etc....but he's so good at what he does and must get so much praise from every tom **** and harry it's not hard to believe he's got so big headed! That Dave Carrie guy seems along the same lines but wouldn't say he's in the same league as Digweed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 without doubt a good shot but seemed to shoot a lot that had passed him rather than out in front like a driven bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooterluke Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 When i see him hes seems down to earth .i saw him on the pool shoot very friendly to the trapper (young lass) does his shooting an says thanks love an walks off . Always speaks when passing people as others dont . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I love these films by Jonathan McGee, just filled with good detail, good photography and good shooting. Have seen a few of his involving Dave Carrie, and whatever you think of the man, he can certainly shoot. Just a tiny tad disappointed and very surprised to see that a man with all his wealth of experience still doesn't know how to put a gun in or out of its slip without pointing it at someone. Excellent vid', thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
