Ultrastu Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Took my boy out this afternoon over a fresh barley stubble we set up along a hedge with 12 plastic full-bodied deeks under the umbrella . The pige came in really well .not lifting off the ground If they were much more than 50 yds away after a shot . 34 birds picked . My boy dropped 7 It's been a long time since we shot together and this was a perfect reintroduction for him .

Ultrastu Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Cheers guys The air guns proved to be the best choice today . I could have doubled that bag by myself But the enjoyment came watching my boy take on these birds, misses and hits . It's all part of the enjoyment. He wants to go again .

Ultrastu Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Wellies were definitely the correct choice . The stubble was full of water and the ground muddy . We had a great day and 34 birds with the airgun might have been my record .if not its an excellent bag .the pige just kept dropping right into our pattern at 20 - 35 yds , but as always they lift off again after 2 - 5 seconds so quick accurate shooting is the key .many a bird dodged a pellet as we were often just a second too slow on the trigger . Brilliant sport .my boy loved it .at one point we had around 50 birds flock In trying to land just yards infront of us I wish I had filmed it .the words awesome escaped my boys lips .cheers guys for the kind words . If you get a chance to airgun pige like this take it, its a whole different experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting in warm weather, wearing shorts with your lad, what's not to love about that. Sounds like a great day out, all your going to hear all week is 'when can we go again ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holloway Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Now I would really welcome a video or two of air rifle decoying it would make a nice change from the usual shotgun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
