Cranfield Posted December 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 columbus, they sure are. BigDave, as a Pigeon Shooter, you should be embarrassed to admit that pigeons roost outside your bedroom window. They are supposed to be scared of you !!!!

ernyha Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Just a long sleeve thermal vest.Could be very useful if it ever stops raining and we get a frost !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted December 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 columbus ,I got them at a country store that sells riding, walking, sailing ,shooting ,fishing type clothing and accessories. ernyha, if that thermal vest is for wearing when its frosty, I hope you kept the receipt. It doesn,t look as though we will ever get a frost again, in the SouthEast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Among other goodies, I received a "Karrimor" rucksack. Brilliant piece of kit!! I've loaded the net into the bottom pocket, deeks and cradles in the top, camo cream, balaclava, decoy sticks, knife, secateurs, string, and God knows what else into the side pockets. I've still got room for the flask and a couple of sarnies, and it's got straps that will hold the hide poles. Fully loaded it weighs little, and on your back you hardly notice it. All I need now is pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 columbus, I,ve tried the gloves when clay pigeon shooting and they seem OK, the real test comes later. Seems like there has been some useful gear distributed by Father Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 I got "The Book of the Woodpigeon" by Colin Wilcock (very interesting), a game bag, a pair of gaiters and a new shooting coat!

Tony Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Santa had a very big sack for my pressie this year. He brought me a 4x4!! . Shame he didn't slip in a few petrol vouchers too! No getting stuck in fields anymore with a bit of luck. It was a combined 40th birthday pressie too. Also got a pair of Gore-Tex realtree gloves for when the weather turns cold and 'orrible, if ever!! Would have been better off with waders I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 I might get a gas comversion next year when the warranty runs out. Until them I'll keep wincing everytime I go to the petrol station "You takes yer money...." as they say I keep filling up when only half empty so the wife doesn't rumble it costs 60 quid for a full tank!! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
