Pigeons

[Foxy]

I have had a visit from a mate tonight who found a field of feeding pigeons today.
He shot 147 pigeons for 275 shots in 2 1/2 hours.
Conditions were overcast with bright spells and a almost gale force wind.
Any body else do well today

Jeez he must have been knackered firing all those shots in 2 1/2 hours,good going though.

one of the best days i have had was same conditions, they go like rockets! , and don't worry about the shot count because until you have tried to shoot a pigeon with the wind up its arse, doing 60 mph then you have never been challenged!!

I would imagine you would need a fair bit of lead for shooting a doo at 60 mph?

Thanks.

It's hard enough even spotting one at that velocity let alone shouldering a gun and shooting!

Clays at that speed are a different matter because the speed and direction are consistent.

Well he was back on the field again today and shot he shot 223 for 340 shots.
Simular conditions today.
Oh he had another guy with him in a hide 200 yards away and he shot 123 for 310 shots.

Would you mind sending a few of these pigeons up this way.

[humperdingle]

Lol I know... that's a ludicrous amount for one man to shoot!

Where's the Communist society when you need it? Share the wealth I say!

[Foxy]

Ok weather as yesterday but no so many birds.
150 shots for 82 birds in 3 hours
Foxy

The local farmers would be better breeding birds than growing crops if they can produce that many
