Only half a dozen….but I bet you are still thinking about that first bird, lovely when they fold like that at range, some nice shooting there.

Thanks. Too be honest I've not been shooting at my best the last 12 months.  I made a slight change to my gun last week, it feels better.  Time will tell.

Fantastic shooting...well done...wish I could hit em up there...to be honest I probably wouldnt even shoot at them...you make it look so easy....just a quick question though, how do you judge lead at that distance...atb...misser

Thanks.

Simple answer is I don't really know. The only conscious thing I do is focus on the pigeon and the lead takes care of itself. If I look at the gap or the barrels it will result in me stopping the gun and missing behind. I also think the line is more difficult to read with pigeons. They rarely fly dead straight. 

You do have more time though as they are not that fast unless they have a good breeze behind them.
