Topgunners Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I went out yesterday to the Barn and set up my hide out in the field opposite the barns and by the time my hoppo's arrived I had shot 49 blackies and 7 pigeons. Al joined me in my hide and the 2 boys stood under a tree and they shot 9 and Alan 6. They then decided there weren't enough flitting about for 4 of us and went "mooching". I decided to stay on and by 17.00pm I had shot 87 and then it went very slooooow , but I decided to stick it out until I had done the MAGICAL 100. By 18.00pm I shot the last 1 and ended up with 100 "blackies" and with their totals we ended up with 115 "blackies" 12 pigeons 1 magpie. Alan and myself went back this morning and set up inside the barn opening to shelter from the "incessant rain". We shot till dinner time but only managed 27 "blackies" 5 pigeons and 1 Magpie. Farmer, well happy again and I got a freeeeee x-large container of Double Cream to go in my "Liquer Coffees" later on. YUMMMY Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Each time I read the title to this thread I think it about shooting barns. I reckon I could do that, as long as they are not too far away of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
