v-max 2 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 As said a video is a hard one to judge & i would say that bird was a good hi bird at about 40yrd. There was alot of birds no being killed in the air in that vid. I dont class a bird of 20yrds a hi bird but that of a pillow material or mini driven walked up. You would be surprized when loading for a gun that can shoot & is on form & is killing/finishing birds off in the air. I loaded for a guy with a 16bore at grouse & he had a cracker of a single grouse crossing in front & i would say a good 45-55yrd shot down dead & im nobad at judging distance & no far off most of the time. You also have to mark a butt chart at grouse for picking to keep track of what is down for picking & say dead or not so you can clear up right. Quote Link to post
jasper65 6 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 None of them Pheasants looks more than 30yds <90 foot> tops. I've seen some birds that looked like tiny Cross's in the sky shot here around Norfolk. You only have to watch them shooting around Sandringham or Holkham and some other estates to see how high some of them birds are .... Jasper Quote Link to post
