Guest stevo Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Well ........... yesterday ( Thursday) I finished work at 12.30 with the intention of going to clay ground for a spot of practice , and so I went home grabbed my Caesar Guerini summit and shells ect ect and off I went . well I got 2 mins down the road a thought I would take the long way round and have a look at a field of winter barley that over the week has been getting hit by pigeons , I have been watching it over the past couple of days at all different times trying to catch the line opening into the field . but just seem to miss it . well I puled into field , flask out :-) when I started to notice what looked like a weak line just starting to kick off , so I went for , got set up a bit sharpish , went in back of van a rounded up all the game carts I could find , 125 Eley pigeon select that's it !! so I grabbed 2 boxes of Eley superb 28 gram # 7.5 ( my comp carts ) it was 2 pm when I was ready to rock and roll , just as the line opened , and shot till 5.15 pm I started off with a few flexicoys out random , and about 30 mins later I set up a magnet with 2 fresh birds on it . as for chokes I already had 1/4 in bottom and 3/8th in top and thought that would be fine , however the pigeon select were not the best a struggled for the first few shots , there were ok out to 30 -35 yrds but not a lot of cop at further ranges and so changed over to 1/2 and light full which payed dividends with the 40 - 50 and a few a bit further anyway end result was 138 ( inc 10 ferols ) enjoy p.s its best watched in 1080 HD . https://youtu.be/VescHKIpkLI Edited October 2, 2015 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 About time you shot something with feathers on , I think I counted more misses than all your other videos put together , those clays are ruining you Well done on a good bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 And I thought you were dead. A good video. Thanks for posting. I agree entirely with your views on those cartridges not being much good at distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravanman Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Good stuff as always but I was hoping for a video of you using your skeet gun. How are you getting on with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you getting on with that? that's the gun I normally use , I have some videos , I will sort them out and post them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 great vid as usual stevo always a good watch j try them with with a bit more choke you might be surprised Thats what i did daz . I went from 1/4 and 3/8ths upto half and light full Imo there fine for decoying ranges . But there certainly not a performance shell . I was using RC2 comp yesterday and they were worlds better And same money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selbyman Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Great video Stevo with some excellent shooting. An interesting comment about the Pigeon Select cartridges, a friend ( Hawkfanz of this forum ) and I tried them and we felt that they were a bit on the light side. Keep posting Stevo, always a really good watch, if sometimes an enviable one with the calibre of the shooting !. Well done Stevo.
