F150 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Out this afternoon and caught birds flighting home. Wind made it fantastic. Caught most birds side sliding hedgerow out of the wind and had to give them 9 foot lead! 33 birds for 47 shots. Very pleased with 10 right and lefts. Most had bulging crops of rape. 2 crows found the barrels as well. Anyone else been out today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdev Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Went out today! as there was a good westerly wind blowing. Got to the field around 08.00hrs and there must have being 400 pidgeons on the rape. So clapped them off to see if they where going to come back? So gave it 20mins or so and back they came in drips and drabs. So set up magnet and 25 dead birds and got straight into them. Finished the day with 72 with around 100 shots fired. Pitty i did,nt have the auto with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
