  1. Did any one see the crazy american guy making cut shells and showing us what they can do! He says it basicly turns a 12g into a 70cal!! I would never try this myself but apparently they were widely used during the great depression and still used today in america to hunt deer! the accuracy was phenominal and stoping power looked unreal!

  2. I aggree the open chokes do limit to an extent! However you can also adjust the way the gun chokes the shot by using different cartridges but as a general rule 40 yards plus you will struggle at times to acheive clean kills/ breaks consistently! Alot of game guns are very open choked but these were most probably for walked up game! I use 1/4 and 1/2 in my o/u and it kills great at range you dont nead more choke than this inless your shooting seriously high birds!

  3. They saw somthing the didnt like which could be alot of things, wind direction,,lack of movement as birds might be shy and may have been decoyed before, or set up not convicing enough! Well my freind this is the secret to decoying, if you can reconise whats put them off and fix it, you will be a great decoyer, only experience brings this and its a game thats always changing every outing is different, so best thing to do is do a bit if research and get stuck in!

    good luck

  4. Was out yesterday with my mate shooting crows on a grass feild , set up with a load of flocked deeks and a well built hide. Alot of traffic around so we gave it a go! And they just kept coming even after shots had just gone off a quick call had them heading back! They love the primos lol!

     

    Iv been using the primos power crow call for a little over a month now and im getting quite good at calling with it and getting the calls to sound right! iv used a few others that have worked but not in the same league to be fair!

    They say the sam neyt callers are good and yes they are but if im honest the primos will do what the sam neyt will and more, and wait for it.... At a third of the price!! Only thing is that at the moment evryone has sold out of primos power crow callers and awaiting stock!

     

     

    Since using the caller success rate in some particular places has rissen by 50% atleast. Where we had shot 20 regular we were now shooting 30-40+ i honestly beleive the caller is the reason for the better days were having, and me learning to use it propperly!

     

    does any one else use one and what do you think of it?

  5. hello lads im back from a long break from shotgun shooting iv got a hatsan escort 12g i cant hit shit with it ha ha , im better with my 410 !!

    anyway its multi choke and iv had the full choke in and some poor gamebore 6 30g in it and the preformance is shite !!

    i used to be able to hit things hard at 50 55 yards easy when i was younger but with this i cant work out leads etc .

    anyway what chokes you guys got in and what loads you shooting on mixed days with crows and pigeons ?

    look forward to your replys

    things cant get worse ha ha

    all the best , matt

     

    hi mate

    i think you need to get some practice on the clays pal, forget about chokes or cartridges thats not gunna make you hit them! I would leave the live stuff till your shooting consistantly! Consistant shooting requires confidence, concentration, and a clear head, start thinking about the ones you missed and y you missed and all you will do is miss! But seriously get some practice on the clays!
