danccooke Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Right then, I have my permission, I have time, gun, ammo, patience, can shoot a bit. I have about 24 shell deeks (not flocked) Two bouncer poles which i have attached real pigeon wings to two of the deeks. I have just bought a decen set of hide poles and a stealth net to go with my old Army Surplus netting. If i were to spend some money on something else what would people recommend. about the £70-£100 mark, is it obviously a magnet or something else that might aid me. I have about 300-350 acres to shoot over, I currently use my cool box as my seat, about the right height. I'd like one of those swivel bucket chair thingies. i've done a couple of mega weeks at work so have some cash to burn before she spots it.

seisobs Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Get a Magnet, some good quality camo clothing, take her out for a nice meal then she won't rip your head off when she finds out (She WILL find out by the way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danccooke Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I have some good Jack Pyke cammo clothing, from fishing, wildlife photography etc etc. So does she. I might ask my permission if it is ok for her to act as picker upper and general pack horse. that way we'll still be spending "quality time" together outside. Magnet it is then. I'll shift the money leave it a week see if she notice then buy it. (she is my accountant, not just wifey accountant but for my company) see if she is worth her salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Hi danccooke-hows about you post a picture of the other half on this forum -then maybe next time you want to go shooting you could drop her off at mine?

danccooke Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 hehe, You can tell I was working nights last week, I hadn't noticed I missed the S off of she. Nevermind. As for you guys not wanting your Mrs. with you when shooting. If she comes with me I get to go more. I get someone to carry stuff, pick stuff up. Make me a cuppa without having to take my eyes of the sky, and you never what other added bonuses that might come along. Plus I know we're married but I do enjoy being with her. Bruno, I'll drop her sister round for you Sister in law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Right..............so you have got the basics.... dont bother with the magnet..............................YET......................if it aint broke.............dont fix it. First..........get some FLOCKED birds. Get some spring sticks or ezzy wobblers. Get half a dozen sillosocks. Get a face net. Get a cap. Get a set of light weight gloves. Get a deacent sized bag and bucket seat. Get a couple more bouncers. Work your patterns from using the shells, the socks, the bouncers....................you want movement in your pattern...... A magnet is not the bee all and end all of pigeon shooting........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
