sitsinhedges Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 It was interesting. Would have preferred more shooting and less talking though. Just bought myself a nice little Yildiz 410, very nice to shoot for the money and very capable out to 30yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Shoot that piece of ground fairly regularly and it provides some nice partridge shooting. Sitsin... get some big sheets of cardboard and do some pattern testing on that new gun at 35yrds with the chokes supplied and you will be surprised. I only saw him miss one, so they didn't edit that one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Nice video, I enjoyed that - the first half at least. The "world according to DC" bit towards the end less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of trigger creep but I can live with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't complain at the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymariner Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I quite liked some of the video, I know that land fairly well. Would love to have a go but not with a .410 as my confidence is low at the best of times. I don't think I would want to be at the next peg to DC though, having seen the film all the way through.

JDog Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I too know this farm as it adjoins fields where Clodhopper and I then Mighty Mariner and I shot fifty pigeons flighting into a bean stubble. The ground is gently rolling with quite a few cover crops. None of the partridges I saw in the video were very challenging and .410 guns in the right hands should have been able to manage them easily enough.

Shot that Valley drive a few weeks ago in a 30mph breeze and it was most entertaining. Infortunately I was drawn on the end peg but still managed three that came my way.

I would have thought the price per bird was the same regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holloway Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Just wondered if someone out there who is brighter than me could put a link up to show the Dave Carrie video "lets go to the local duck shoot (Brandesburton)", not my cup of tea at all but it does show what a decent shop bought steel cartrige can do , It does seem that proper wildfowlers who use it all the time have no doubts as to its effectiveness i wouldnt use anything else . but you still hear a lot of negativity from the game shooting community i felt that Mr Carrie had his doubts untill he used it .correct me if i am wrong but i think that the Gamebore supersteel have the biodegradable wads as well.
