As someone else said in the other thread, you wouldn't take rabbits at that sort of distance so what makes it OK to try and take a bird on the wing. I'm sure someone will be alone to tell me I'm wrong though 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmo Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Shooting 20/25 yarders isn’t either and my god I’ve WATCHED more than my fair share of that ..... it’s each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) While 20-25 is a bit close for me personally, I'd much rather see someone take a bird at 25 yards and it go down than someone attempting to take one at 70+ and not even know if they've pricked it. But yes, definitely each to their own. Just as long as each person thinks carefully how they portray what they are doing.

Salmo Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I walked off a shoot this year ......... drive one 20 birds shot and nothing over 20 yards .......... most people think a 30 yard bird is high ...... but as you said each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perazzishot Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Update on the Cheddite Elite 36/4s plas wads used today, fired 250 on the 1st 2 drives and was very happy with some lovely clean kills with most killed very cleanly. Will probably go with these where plan wads are allowed. Used another 250 Hull 34/4 HPE for the next 2 drives and they worked just as well with some proper good stuff folding dead on the last drive, which a couple of Southern boys astounded with what what was killed today.

dodeer Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 High birds are great. I love them. Just can’t afford them so much. People over judge range big time and most sporting folk think 25 yards is 40. A good high pheasant is killable with right equipment and believe me I’ve seen a lot of driven days and majority of folk can’t cleanly cope with 25-30 yards pheasants so wounded birds on each. High birds have been around for decades. Just now it’s more available as it’s in YouTube and social media etc. I think a lot of complaining is jealous people who can’t spend the money on a day ( me included but I am not jealous just envious).
