Mr Wilkes 3,036 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Not shot a pheasant in a long time , the whippet pushes em out but has never had hold of one. She did quite well retrieving back to hand. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 10,123 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Good shooting especially this time of year as pheasants are more wary now than earlier on. Did you use lead or steel ammo mate. I always found the hen birds better eating than the cockbirds tbh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 3,036 Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 No mate, I shoot a sling with a relaxed grip.. the tube broke on the fourth pheasant (missed it ) , the elastic hit me in the face followed by the sling !. Needless to say I've put a lanyard on it now.. lesson learnt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
