Bladerunnertoo Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 This morning to the HW100, i tell you,"it is a lazer" , This was on Grass shared with sheep (if that makes a difference ? ) but around mid-day it went very quite, so left the field,as i left i looked at a Stubble field an it seems the pigeon had changed their diet for the day. Needless to say this particular stubble field is not part of my perm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belly47 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Well done I'd be pleased with that with the shotgun the way things have been round my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmj Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 That's really good. Could you please tell us how you were shooting, ie, hide?, how constructed, seeks, patterns etc etc. I'd love to have a bash myself but some instructions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance,Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please tell us how you were shooting, ie, hide?, how constructed, seeks, patterns etc etc. I'd love to have a bash myself but some instructions would be very helpful. Thanks in advance,Mark Good questions, First watch,make sure the Pigeon want the particular field,sometimes worth walking across the said field to move them an see if they come back (you have to be out the way of-course) (even if you sat in your motor) Flight line,if you can spot one your on a winner straight away,if it`s not obvious then all is NOT lost. A sittie tree is good either on the edge of the field or in the middle make little difference.Camo netting, i have the green army type (doubled up so as to keep it thicker) bought as it is i dont think it is thick enough,(could use two bits), you need it comfortable enough to see without massive gaps. And to be able to poke the gun through. (oh while i am on about the gun ,you can rest the gun stock/aircylinder on the netting,but not the barrel or silencer, that alters poi) I use hide poles,just cus it`s easy an maybe a couple of bungee straps (handy for support off the hedge or tree),if under a tree an in good shadow then no roof needed but if on the edge of a field an they are coming from behind i would consider one, One more thing about the hide is i like to add foliage ,whatever is around the field,even if it is a patch of something 20yds away.Now Decoys ,Shells will work ok i have some (sillosock) ones i think there called ,easy to pack an i rate them ,bit of trial an error now for the placement of the deeks, i prefer a tight little group of 3 or 4 ,twenty yds or so out (yesterday i had 3 feeders an one sentry out,nothing came in) (flaring off) so removed sentry an then birds coming in, Weird ,Camo clothing, I always were it long sleeve T-shirt, light weight trousers thin light face mask an light gloves ,but sometimes you can get away with out some of these (thick hide an red hot day an i would be tempted ) Well give it a try an report back,lol. good luck. O forgot when you get some pigeon swap them for the deeks an if there still the right way up leave them .

Bladerunnertoo Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Forgot to add ,A chair is essential to me,can be a long day so take this into consideration when building your hide (remembering you have to poke the barrel through) and i don`t like the hide higher than the hedge behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
