wingnut Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Greatt pictures Tom, just like to thank you again for another memorable day, my pigeon shooting has come on no end after being with you and the other guys you take shooting, if it wasn't for people like you i would never have been able to do what i am doing now. The hide was in a fantastic location, set well back in the hedgerow, i managed to weave branches into the hide netting to break up the outline and help secure it because of the strong side wind, and i was virtually invisible to the incoming birds, i even had one try to land on the netting itself. The majority of the birds came in from the left side, and proceeded to circle around the back of me so they could land into the wind in a nice hole that Tom had left in the pattern. Every few minutes i would hear Barneys gun, and i would sit poised in the hide because if he missed it they tended to come straight over my hide, and if i missed they went over to his decoys, between us we managed to keep the birds moving most of the day. I managed to get 3 sets of left and rights that day on pigeons and doves. Now i have gotten my cartridge & choke combination well and truly sorted and have now started to hit almost as many birds as i use cartridges :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnut Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well done :blink: So, what combination works for you wingnut ? I am currently using a Laurona 12g 28" barrel multi choke sporter, fitted with 3/4 choke in the top barrel, and 1/2 choke in the lower one, cartridges are "Special Pigeon" 32gm No6 shot fibre wad. I have tried different cartridges and choke combinations over the last few months and this set up seems to really nail them well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
