Adam17 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Hello all. I'm new to pigeon Watch and just trying to navigate through the site on this phone... 🤦🏼♂️ Here's a little about me. My name is Adam, 33, married, I have a dog, no kids, I work in the a Dementia specialist care home. I love the country, dogs, camping, shooting, motorcycles, metal detecting, photography & my truck! I have been shooting for about a year, and would really like to get into Decoying! I have had the idea of starting decoying since just after I started shooting, but finding my own permissions have been challenging, as I'm sure your all aware. Since this lockdown I have spent more time than I am willing to calculate watching the Fieldsports & Shooting Channel, watching the likes of Andy Crow, George Digweed, Geoff Garrod take on the pigeon population. Id like to give something back to my local(ish) farmers and help them with the pest problem, and crop protection. I live in Bedfordshire, and have lived here my whole life. My wife and I enjoy travelling up and down England camping, we both love the outdoors. I have been metal detecting for a few years with my local club, and enjoy researching the stuff I find. I have been doing photography for more than a decade, as a hobby, but I have done weddings for friends and family, and birthday parties, but my ultimate enjoyment is photographing wildlife and the countryside. I look forward to chatting with you all, and hopefully be able to contribute to this forum, and my community.

bruno22rf Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Let's get you started ,Adam, you've bought the wrong gun in the right calibre (or vice versa), whatever model it is - the ones after and before were far better. The stock is all wrong for you and your gun is depreciating faster than Chinese Timeshares, your decoys are facing the wrong way and you should consider which expensive after market chokes you are going to buy to blame for all the misses.Your Dog is badly behaved, eating the wrong food and incapable of picking up anything but fleas. You should really spend more money on a new gun so that we can tell you that you've wasted your cash and as for your cartridge choice - don't get us started. Welcome to the Forum.

What a corker! Love it! What a great roasting to wake up to. Thanks for the info, I'll bear it in mind 🤦🏼♂️ Instead of the aftermarket chokes I went with a new gun! My first gun stopped reliably firing the second barrel, and I found the safety wasn't safe 100% of the time 🤷🏼♂️ (first gun pic, its having a clean) , so went and got a new gun, and then the country went into lockdown... So shows my luck. (second gun pic) Your not far wrong about me dog. The next door neighbours cat plays fetch and catch, far better than my boy. Look forward to more roasting! A pic of my cartridges for the win! This is the best welcome I've received from any group I've ever joined! 14 hours ago, mad1 said: And don't forget ...if only you where closer... 😅 14 hours ago, bigcat243 said: welcome adam Thank you. 14 hours ago, steve_b_wales said: Hi Adam.
