    I was shooting 11 mm steel and having a lot of success but ran out so made myself a good batch of 10mm lead , I must admit I do prefer 11 mm steel. As for hitting them in the head every time it just doesn’t happen. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve shot at a pigeons head and the bird has lifted and I’ve hit him in the lower neck/chest. I always where possible watch for a bird to drop if I’ve hit him in the high chest, furthest I’ve seen one drop was around 70 yards. I’m sure they fly on pure adrenaline.

    Yes pal it dropped like a stone.

    As Blacky says she’s still a baby . Main things are recall and stock breaking , don’t be in too much of a rush to get her entered as yet. Best of luck with her ??

    Took the pup out for a walk this evening, I was chatting to Smithie as we walked and I noticed a squirrel Sat in a oak tree no more than 12 yards away so out came the catty ( Smithie was cut off , sorry pal) and as I shot at it the pup pulled on the lead and I totally missed ! ( the lead was looped around my left wrist). I unclipped the pup and went in search of the squirrel but couldn’t find it, I did however hit a pigeon at roughly 20 yards a little further on which was a bonus, not a very good pic but when you are trying to take a pic and wrestle a pup any pic is better than non.

    Seeing this pic I now understand the difficulty. Looks like the best thing is snaring or trapping , best of luck and let us know how you get on.

    Kin hell Freddie boy ... I thought you’d taken a vow of silence ? same mate I don’t need all that practice any more and with shooting instinctive I hit most I shoot at.

    That set up was a pickle bone frame, .6 sumeike cut at 20/15 and 9.5mm steel. The video was taken last summer, I used to practice with all sorts of frames and bands but now I Only shoot a scout lt with 1745 tubes and 10mm lead and this set up is all need. I very rarely practice anymore , granted I do shoot the odd shot at a leaf , pebble ect while I’m out mooching abart ( more so when I’ve missed a easy shot on summat).
