steveyg Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have never set up in the middle of a field before,after reccying my new perm over the last few days the crows seemed to like hitting the center of this particular drilled field. So manged to secure the hide poles to a telegraph pole in the center of the field and had ropes everywhere holding down the poles/netting. My father chose to set up with a treeline to his back which gave him some protection...but not much,it was blowing an absolute gale and continued all day however the sun came out...happy days. The crows/Jd's were giving us some sport but to my surprise no pigeons until after 1 o'clock. Dad had a cracking double and my first followed soon after. Pigeons didn't want to decoy however had a couple of really challenging high birds which was worth setting up for. My Father's Pb was 18 before today....he finished on 29 (I had 39) and right big grin on his face..quality days sport....AND ONE WE WILL BOTH REMEMBER FOR A VERY LONG TIME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveyg Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Great bag, well shot. To be honest..I shot like a right plonker,this was my first real go with the new Semi Auto... (I think its shooting low )..I would have shot more with my old 425. Fenboy you still got that old knackered 325 for sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveyg Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Just had a call from my father he only used 49 carts...which considering the amount of shooting he does is a cracking result...well done dad..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNS Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sounds a very good day, even if your semi auto is causing you problems My neighbour has been very busy drilling for the past week so I may actually get out myself shortly. If I can remember what to do ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passionforangling Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 A good day out for both of you by the sound of things. It might be worth getting a pattern plate out for the semi......mine did exactly the same when I first used it (mine is an SX3). I'm not saying I'm great with it now but a shim removed seemed to make all the difference. Bet your dad is well chuffed with his ratio!
