Lloyd90 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Shotty cert arrived today pretty chuffed. Went down to the local RFD, had a look at a nice shotty. Couldnt afford it haha so just got 2 boxes of shells. Was raring to get out n do some shooting and had arranged to get out decoying with BOTCH later that night. Met BOTCH about 5.40 at his house an jumped into his jeep, took my carts camo jacket and hat and some milk crates to sit on. Got up there about 6. There were 3 other hides set up around the fields we were shooting on was pretty packed and the birds were all on edge after being shot at. So anyways we headed away from everyone else and just set up a hide in a further field away from the others, we set up the gear and moved the jeep further away from us. After a chat about safety in the hide I opened one of the box's of shells that I had bought and BOTCH handed me his O/U. Loaded it up and kept it pointed up at all times Bout 6.15 we had the deeks out in a horseshoe and were tucked away in the hide. BOTCH took the first shot then handed it over to me to have a crack. First pigeon came right down straight in front about 10-15 yards. I popped up and he tried to make a quick exit, fired one off but missed the ******, then BANG second shot hit him square right on. He droppped stright down dead in the air There was another series of pigeon that followed aswell as a few crows. Altogether ended up with 8 pigeons and 4 crows. Not a mssive bag but I was really pleased. The other pigeons were all good shots by BOTCH and myself but there just not as memerable as that first one Cheers to BOTCH for taking me out and letin me use his gun. Had a great time and a good laugh. Got a couple of pics on his phone. http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll307/B...87/Image026.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll307/B...87/Image028.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi perfect,you dont need land to can get a SGC. But you do for a Fac, unless your a member of a gun club with a shooting range for Fac.
