best shot to kill ratio

[andyp 9]

Just managed my best shot to kill ratio today

 

11 shots ------- 9 birds

 

Just recently picked up a Remington 1100 12g semi auto for hide shooting and it fits me like a glove.

 

Makes up for all those other times when i have been and all i managed to do was hit fresh air .

couple of years ago 22 out of 26 shots pigeon shooting

[Sidelock 10]

37/50 with 2 1/2" .410

[Ratsmasher 36]

i got 4/5 with a 3" 410 once

good shooting tho nothing better then when you have those kind of days

[The Duncan 802]

On really good days I'll get 10 for 10 and go home with a big smug smile on my face.

Yesterday I shot like a t*at and would not want to count the carts I missed with! In front of a guest too lol!

went out yesterday not a bad day but the best shot was one shot two pigeons lucky or what

[TWOTWOTHREE 152]

Best I've had was last year on rape stubble,76 shots and picked up 60dead, but yesterday was terrible 12 for 7. By end of havest and drilling i hope to shoot a hundred on my own with same amount of shells or pretty close to, only get into the hundreds on the odd days when two of us are shooting and they are dropping in ten at a time,the hot spot is not cut yet I keep nipping outside to look if they see if they have started it yet,it's only a fifty acre field but it seems to attract them by the thousand,I put it down to a long wood, maybe a decent flight line,they pull straight in to the magnets,same every year,

picked up 36 for 40 shots last weekend, well pleased with that, normally can do 3 out of four but we can all have a bad day!

Some great ratios here, anywhere around 2 shells to one bird isn't bad numbers.

 

Got 65 with 85 shots a couple of weeks back (wheat stubble) and i was happy with that, went through about 25 birds without a miss.

Last time out I had 96 killed for 146 carts using x-full chokes, I was very happy with this, hadn't used the gun for a few weeks so doubt I'll shoot aswell next time!

[andyp 9]

Back out with the remington 1100 the other day, 3 geese 5 shots, and last night on the ducks (and crows on the way back) 2 for one on the ducks, 3 for 3 on the crows, god i love this gun.

 

In fact my misses has just shouted the goose is ready.

My usual ratio of kills to misses is around 1 to 1.5, sometimes a bit better on a good day. I use a Winchester English Field 12g with fairly open chokes over decoys and seem to do OK. I have wanted a traditional short barrelled skeet gun for some time and last week managed to buy a Miroku 800S. It has 26 inch barrels and the chokes are the equivalent of slightly open 1/4 and 1/4. I fired over decoys on stubble on a local farm just to try it out and got 9 from 9! I then went to the skeet ground and broke the first 8 clays. My results are calming down a bit now, 5 from 6 last time over the decoys but I cannot get over how well this `new' gun (1974) seems to suit me. I keep the range down to about 30 yards and use 30g or 32g no. 6 cartridges. I just wish this wind would drop so that I could get out there again!
