Hi there , i was wondering if anybody has worked kerry's. I have a bitch that is keen when out in the woods , nose is always down or she will scan the trees for squirrels as well , she hunts for rabbits and has been off after hares a few times and as we pass a copse of woods in one off the fields where we live she goes after the rats there and has started digging like hell to get to them , i stood and watched her one day and she was soon only visable by her tail sticking out the hole and not for leaving until she got something.her nature is good and not dog aggresive at all unlike my old kerr

Braw looking dog there mate

think it was £30 for 5 of them , including postage , they come with the attachable feet or a peg ,feel almost velvety and look really life like , bit bulky for carrying around maybe but i dont mind aslong as they work. Peter

i just got the crow decoys from A1 decoys , they look awesome, trying them out tomorrow. Peter

hey ratty , cheers for the advice mate.i spoke with a guy at work who is a good shot and alround shooter and when i explained what i had done and how i shot he asked me a few questions and recons im trying to aim with the gun and not following through on my shots ,told me a few things to try out. im going to see how i get on and if need be invite him out with me for a few pointers . oh and just ordered 6 crow decoys. im hooked on this sport and i will stick with it until i get it sorted. i am subscribed to fieldsports channel and it has been a big help already.Atb mate. Peter

well i got 6 pigeons this weekend but should have been 3 times that more like , more practice required i think . my home made bouncer was crap, i struggled to secure the pigeon to it so gave up ,more tweaking is needed here . im out again next saturady and then clays and a lesson on the monday. just got my new gun ,pick it up mid week. A laurona eibar magnum ,second hand but i really good condition , single trigger and multi choke . i just need to learn how to shoot the bloody thing now. Peter

thanks for the advice guys, i understand what your saying about getting everything at once ,i may try the decoys you suggest, its just frustrating sitting there with the shotgun an nowt to shoot at, i have decoyed them down for the air rifle but the bags are basically a cpl at best, i would still have my airarms s200 if i did sell the HW 97k , i think i will eventually need it all but as you say not neccessarily now,i have the bug though and ant to be out gettting decent bags.i have attempted to make a home made bouncer and i will try it at the weekend and see how i get on . cheers guys.

hi there ,what to do , i have just got my shotgun cert and have some pigeon decoys ,now my dilemma is do i sell one of my air rifles to buy a pigeon flapper and a rotary as i have £600 for a new shottie i need more cash. i have a HW 97 with a v mach tuning kit in it and a new nikko sterling 4-12-50 ao ir scope. What should i do,wait and save or sell and get what i want now . im tempted to sell just not sure as i love this gun but needs must .If only i could win the lottery . Peter

hi there , my cert for shotgun came yesterday, iv got £500 and was looking for suggestions on my first gun. i was looking for a o/u 12g multi choke .any advice would be great.oh and second hand was my prefered choice. cheers

i have an S200 ,in .177 and i think its great ,ambi stock and more accurate than i am, iv never had a shot of the 410 but cant fault the 200 , i dont think you would be disappointed with either but i love my 200, good luck with your choice. Peter

i go out alone a lot mate,as the man says half the noise ,find i concentrate more on my own ,companys fine now and again though. i like the fact that if i fancy getting out for a few hours i can just get up and go, if you rely on taking someone with you all the time you will miss out and you will need to orginise everything ,try it and see how you get on, i bet you will take much more in when your alone and without distraction. happy hunting Peter

hi there ,i have an S200 in .177, i fill to 180 bar and use H&N baracuda's , there 10.7 grain , plenty shopping power and a reasonable trajectory , i find there good on accuracy to. Peter

yep iv got all of the above but the tree's go in a L shape and they dont land on a particular tree ,it varies ,i get some ,others you have to move position to get a shot of and thats when they take off, sometimes they just fly by my 6 decoys hence the though about a flapper to help them come in . i think its going to be camo netting , is the stealth netting any good? Peter

ok ,im beginning to be swayed away from a pop up hide and lean more towards camo netting , il go for a good quality one and hide poles ,any recommendations on the camo,will look up burlap etc, still waiting on your comments on the flapper if anyone has any idea's that would be great Peter

yeah, i thought about that but iv read that they get caught up in everything and you spend ages untangling them, im not sure if thats true though,plus i think you would freak out anyone you happen to meet whilst out shooting haha,worth considering maybe ,any advice about using a flapper with my decoys or any other suggestions wi might use to improve my chances and results Peter
