Rookie Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi Lad's... After having some trouble with my mount over the weekend with my new gun... i thought i would go out roost-shooting after work today, to put the tips i have been given into practice... It was about 6 o'clock wen i got up to the egde of the wood's which over look a large corn field with a boarder of woodland over three sides. I stood between the field and the woodland. I stood for about an hour watching pigeons flying from one side of the field to my side, just to far out of range to have a sensible shot. I had about 6 shots at pigeons which were hard as they were very fast and fairly high. I managed to shoot 1. I missed with the first shot, but stayed on it and pipped it with the second I was chuffed with the outing as i managed to mount the gun well (No more smack's to the cheek ) and have the first kill with my new gun Iv added a pic should you be interested ; http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o16/And...to/Shotgun1.jpg Thanks, Andrew.

pin Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well done, you look the part! Roost shooting I find you need to be well hidden almost to the point of not being able to see what's coming and stay very still, mind you were early for roosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
