Whitebridges Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yesterday was a great day full of hope. BREXIT has happened and we drunk a dram or three. Fresh air was a likely cure so i headed up to the north of the county. A few folk shooting and with a 60 mph wind the pigeons were moving. I found a pile of fresh pooh in a wood where i thought they would be roosting and shot from a copse of holly. Wind assisted they went like rockets. Jinking and twisting on the wind, not one pitched in to roost. I dropped 6 from 16 shots and felt quite pleased with myself as two birds were picked roughly 110 yards from where I killed them. Shooting pigeon on a strong wind can't be beaten ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Don't advertise it. Some of the very best shooting there is, beating all other driven bird shooting by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Boggy Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Roost shooting in a strong wind is the absolute cream of sport. You had a good day and hopefully more to come in the next few weeks. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzyvilla Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Sounds like they were the same as the pigeons I saw yesterday. Excellent sport (for crop protection obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 They do take some hitting when there is a breeze like yesterday. Top report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
