Ferret664 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi am new to this so please forgive me if my report isn't very good 😊  After spending the morning on the clays trying to get my eye in for some beaters days at the end of the month . Got home and thought I would have enough time to have an hour at the roost . So put a box of 25 cartridges in my pocket , grabbed the semi auto and headed off to the wood . Saw plenty of birds when I arrived and by 10 minutes had 10 pigeons for 11 shots so well was pleased . The action was quick but my auto was jamming with every shot which was frustrating but I think knowing you only had one shot makes you focus more . Ended the evening with 20 pigeons for 28 shots (I found 3 extra cartridges in my coat pocket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShropshireSam Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Excellent roost shooting. If I shot that well on a roost shoot I would be well chuffed. I can't get those ratios over decoys never mind on a roost shoot :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
