mark williams 7,565 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 You guessed it lads, I took both the FWB Sport 127 (.22) and the HW 100 kt .177. I started about 10 am with the FWB Sport and by 12 pm I`d shot around 14 or 15 pigeon. Then I thought to swap over to the 100 as presentations were warming up and the mag` and reload of the 100 would be "far superior" over the old fashioned reload. My best mate, Kaiser and myself had a great day out shooting. Wood Pigeon retrieved --- 61, lost to fly and fold -- 9 Magtrick - 3 bandits shot one after the other. ( HW 100 mag` in action) Pair of crows - 2 crows shot one after the other, ( HW 100 mag` in action) Here`s the hide view. Kaiser on a retrieve. End of the day. atb lads, Mark. 7 Quote Link to post

philpot 5,069 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well shot Mark and a perfect situation when the airgun fits in better than the shotgun. I still prefer to take them on the wing but that is just me. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

Cracking result Mark Would you even be allowed to take them on the wing with a shotgun there? Good to see Kaiser working again ..... It got me wondering - has he ever retrieved a decoy? When I shoot the paper targets I leave a floppy decoy under the boards. When the target is used up I send him in for the retrieve,- he loves this. The reason I train this is because out of so many shots decoying you will get a runner and he`s always on full alert if I give him the call,- " Get him lad !" One peep on my whistle stops him dead in his tracks. Two peeps gives instant re call. atb Mark. 1 Quote Link to post
