Thanks for posting. Yea they are so much faster than the pigeons I'm used to. I tried to stretch the lead a bit more.Thanks JDog, hope your well. 3 minutes ago, redleg in kale said: cracking birds and shooting, what load and shot size were you using ?.

WalkedUp Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Good video, smooth shooting always had the line perfect so made it hard to see just how much they were sliding and curling about. Interesting to see the second barrel consistently stretching the lead out further - to satisfying effect particularly that last bird.

kippylawkid Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Brilliant film. As JD as said, it makes you realise the amount of lead needed on high birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Interesting to watch. After each shot going back to the bird and if it had been a miss going back out to lead the bird for the second shot. That must be a feature of the shotcam to try and capture video of the shot bird. I think ordinarily you would hold the line of travel for the shot and be aware if the bird was hit or not as you lined up for the second shot rather than move the gun back? Not so sure myself of what I do but I dont think I go back to the bird with the gun. Don't know because I have never filmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using swing through or pull away, then getting a connection with the bird is essential … therefore pulling back and going again is the only way you can maintain your technique whilst at the same time using the input from the previous shot to 'give it a bit more' … if required. I know I do the same. BTW … enjoyed the video a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alastair0903 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Nice shooting, good to see someone else’s pull away technique 👍. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Some great footage, I’ve only ever shot pheasant on a handful of occasions and great to watch it from someone else’s perspective, totally different to watching over the shoulder.

Cranfield Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 You know the birds are high when the red dot is on the screen, but the bird isn't.🙂 Some excellent shooting and there were some very testing shots there, well done.

stockybasher Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Probably an idiot question, as I have never used a Shotcam, but is the red point of impact dot visible to you the shooter, as a point of aim ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure myself of what I do but I dont think I go back to the bird with the gun. Don't know because I have never filmed it. I don't think the shotkam alters the way I shoot. I guess because a pheasant will keep its line the same after the first shot miss, means you can go back and have another go with the second barrel. Unlike a pigeon which will usually take off on a new path after the bang. I often dont fire the second barrel after a clean missed first barrel pigeon when flightline shooting. I think that the following the bird down thought only enters my head, when I can see I've killed it. Interesting comment though. I'd not thought about.

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 hello, just looked up these shotkam gadgets, then you can set up your phone or ?? can you get actual replay so someone can see you shooting?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 The latest ones have Bluetooth connections I believe. It cannot be helpful for your misses to be life streamed to your friends for posterity 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 ShotKam would have been great on Llechweddygarth. It’s a great shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 A great shoot indeed … but I doubt there would have been many birds in the same frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
