aister Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I managed to christen my new to me Midland double hammer gun this morning on a barley stubble. We waited a while before we saw the first birds, I think they must have been feeding under the moon last night. The first that came in was a small flock of greylags and I managed to connect with the first shot and bagged a goose. I was old school this morning using a hammer gun and paper shells, I was firing paper cased fiocchi 36gr no3 which are so gentle to shoot but seem to hit hard all the same. I then bagged a mallard and finished off with a right and left of geese which made my morning. The hound was delighted to be out but he is showing his age, he slept like a log when we got home ha ha. Glad to see that others on here have had successful mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
