invector Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Most pigeon shooters love gadgets and kit. I've spent many a breathless time, carting kit I may not use, over vast fields, to get to where the pigeons are feeding. I've done the usual thing and left items at home, to save weight, but it is still a chore with screaming lungs and an aching back, made even worse when you have a good day and all those pigeons just add to the load, requiring more than one trip. I weighed my kit and it came to 78lb. Add the rotary and it topped 90lb. I didn't include ten dead decoy pigeons, heavy coats etc. so these figures are very conservative. I have given this a lot of thought over the years, and done nothing to ease my burden, so I bit the bullet, went to my local fishing tackle shop and bought a carp barrow!!! The bloke in the shop knocked £10 off and I got it for £59.99. What a revelation!! It fits in the boot, unfold it, screw in the handles, load the kit on, two bungee straps and we're away. Pushed or pulled, it is a stable platform for my kit and, as my camouflage netting is 20 feet by 6 feet the extra length drapes over the kit cart, and I'm all set to shoot some woodies. Handy if you don't have a 4X4, or if vehicular access is restricted. The only locked gates are at the roadside, and as I have to lift my kit over them anyway, there is no inconvenience.
