Roost Shooting

[saintsman54 15]

Just back from roost shooting and we haven't had as many as the last two weeks, 50 first week, 25 last week and 15 tonight. Are others having the same results?

if you hammer them on the roost they will f**k off else where to roost, i maybe hit them once a month at most.

Roost shooting is my favourite form of pigeon shooting, unless I'm really lucky with an absolutely blinding decoy day.

I think roost shooting is my favourite form of any shooting! Followed closely by duck flighting.

Alot of shoots offer roost shooting every saturday in feb to the beaters. Yes they will move off if you over shoot 1 wood but think the idea is if every estate shoots on the same day after the pheasants are over it keeps em moving.

This is what we are doing, have about 9 people one in each wood keeps them moving about .

most of the ajoining estates round here did every day in feb but as estate shoots get broken up it become less effective. i know one shoot round here had a great first day then it has gone down hill from there but that was blamed on no wind rather than over shooting.

wind is the key to a good roost shoot
