Minime46 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I got a brass priest as well, what is the best way to use it. How to hold the Pigeon? If u hit it too hard can it's head fall off? I don't want to cause any unnecessary pain. Used it today... held it under my arm and hit it to the back of the head.. but it appeared to still be alive so I gave it another 2 hits... not sure if it was just nervs or not? Any advice please?

Minime46 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well done , 10 for 20 shots is not to bad at all for someone starting out . I have never been much of a fan of bouncers myself. thanks. I'm going to give it a miss next time. Just trying different things now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to do with a priest is to leave it at home ! I will show you how to dispatch them properly when we go out together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well I went out with my binoculars, studied some flight paths and then went out for a few hours... shot 10 pigeons. That's my best so far. Used about 20 cartridges. Missed a few... but also managed to get 2 in 2 shots for the first time. I did that twice. My magnet hadn't arrived so was only using flocked decoys. I did put a floater/bouncer out but it seemed to scare them off... so took it down and then they began to come in to land. Perfect :-) Well done, you are beginning to learn that if your pattern and the extras are not working you need to change elements until they commit.

motty Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Bouncers can work ok. I shot a bag of 95 on Sunday. Didn't take the magnet (long walk), so just used a bouncer and an angel. Edited March 30, 2016 by motty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
