Spaniel Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 On a very off chance as anyone got any Pigeon Decoying DVDs I could borrow. Im getting a little excited when Decoying ( So the Father in law says) so I want to watch some DVDs just to understand where i should be shooting the Woodies etc. Im just pricking a few to many at present Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Either behind them or too far out is my guess. Aim to have the centre of the pattern no more than 20-25yds from the hide and take them as they come in. Stick 1/4 choke in both barrels and aim to take them close in to start with, move the range out as you get better. Very different to clays as they can accelerate, stop and go back :unsure: Best guess would be taking them at range, it takes time and no small amount of skill to be able to knock down 40yd crossing birds. One thing I will say is even with a DVD it's hard to see the ranges people are taking birds at, and most people who make pigeon shooting DVD's are bloody good shots (thoebald/david otley/big george) so trying to emulate their shots probably isn't what you should be doing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretmanabu Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Might be worthing spending a little while in your hide without the gun out for a bit just to see how they come in. ONce you've seen a few you might understand better when to take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
