Percy78 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello.... i’ve lurked on here for long enough and thought it was about time to get involved. i managed to get myself a permission to shoot on a field through luck more than anything else, right place and time if anything! It’s a linseed field but surrounded by maize and a recently harvested field at one end. Lots of sitty trees and plenty of pigeons coming and going. I haven’t had time to sit for hours but I’ve managed a couple of mornings and afternoons over the last few weeks and I’m finding my way as I go. I’ve read tips on here and I’m slowly getting to grips with it. I hit some and I miss some but the time spent in the field watching the birds come and go and weather pass (luckily in the distance) has been a fantastic experience. Sometimes I haven’t had an opportunity to pull the trigger but being in the great outdoors among nature and watching it pass by is one hell of a way to spend your time and great for the soul! Thanks to the regular posters on here. It’s a great resource and great for us beginners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Of haven't done so yet go to a clay ground and get some practice in. When the birds come you'll be a better shot. Staying still in the hide out of sight is the hardest thing to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re absolutely right with the staying still part. I’m a half decent shot but getting in the right position and having patience is a skill!!
