kippylawkid Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Outstanding day that. You must have huge numbers of birds to shoot that many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I will have to search the film for good bits. There is a fair bit that is ruined by the glare of the sun. I'm sure I can cobble something together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 It is a pretty good area for pigeons. I think it all just came together for that day. Not many stubbles of any kind are left, and there were easy pickings on that field. Still shot far more than I would have ever expected. Outstanding day that.

Penelope Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Blimey, what a day. I can just imagine the expletives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kippylawkid Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Yes, it's brilliant when a number of circumstances all come together and work in your favour to produce a day like that. Too often they can work against you. You still need to be able to point the gun straight to take advantage of it and you have both obviously been on good form. Were you cream crackered after? I know when I've had big days (not as big as that!) I'm absolutley drained afterwards, not just physically but mentally too. I think keeping your concentration levels up can be exhausting. PC has obviously got this skill too. Fantastic achievement. Edited October 10, 2016 by kippylawkid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I didn't feel too knackered, but it was hard to keep the concentration levels up. It is all too easy to just raise the gun and fire without really focusing on the target.
