Windage!!

Thanks guys but I've been shooting for years, the birds are pairing up at the mo and there there was no wind at all in Essex but who nos thanks for your knowledgeable comments ....

Thanks for your thoughts........?

I got the chance to go over my local farm today, so I was up at the crack of dawn in order to setup. Once on the farm and all setup I quickly noticed there was not a pigeon in the sky for as far as I could see. I didi not have one shot at any pigeon all day. Im now sitting in front of the computer and looking out of the window I still can't see any flying around out side as normal. Any ideas as to why this happens? Cheers

Old fishing poles / wips are good.

This made interesting reading with regards to changing Flight Lines due to over shooting, check the link below as there maybe more. Pigeon Magnet

That's good shooting mate !

We had a welcome break from the rain yesterday so I popped over to my local permission with my shotgun and a few pigeon decoys to see if I could bag a few woodies. I was using my old full bodied decoys and had borrowed the farmers shell / stackable pigeon decoys as the shooting hide is a good 15minute walk away and i needed to be kit light. After a great day and a few misses I managed to bag a pigeon for the pot! When looking at the Shell Decoys in the shop i wasn't sure they would perform but once in the field they looked fine and carrying 12 of them back to the farm was no struggle.

Thanks I will take a look, iv used something similar before but it lasted a day before peeling off.

Hi Guys, I'm currently using Hull 7.5 21g Comp x cartridges for my Clay days. They are the cheapest I can find at the moment and perform well however any help with regards to any cheaper shells would be great. I buy my shells in the 1000 / 4 slabs at a time for the best prices this normally lasts me a month / 4 clay sessions. Thanks

Great stuff mate, where did you get the camo tape it looks great?

Nice one mate

If asked about flocked decoys; the image below speaks for its self when both decoys are placed next to each other in the field. I almost take flocked decoys for granted and have almost for got what my old plastic ones look like. http://fieldsportsshootingsupplies.co.uk/blog/
