Sausagedog 7,381 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Had a good session on pigeon today. Shot lousy, ok I have full and full choking but I still shot bad. 15 feral and 26 woodies. I'll spare you the cartridge ratio. It's a little negative and somewhat embarrassing . The heat was near impossible and I forgot something to drink. Fortunately the hedge cast some shade on my hide. 28g 7&1/2s. 8 Quote Link to post
Baldcoot 2,352 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 You were out that,s the main thing , and lead cartridges will soon cost pennies thanks to BASC.s own goal calling for a ban on lead ????? That,s a nice tally in this ridiculous heat wave ,and it,s about time they had air conditioning for hides 1 Quote Link to post

ianm 2,594 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Forty one pigeons is a good session, well done! I managed eleven and a crow and they where all really badly fly blown by packing up time. I am going to get a slab of 28gram cartridges from my local cartridge manufacturer Empire for use in the sxs AYA yeoman. The 32 gram version gives me a headache after shooting a few, 2 Quote Link to post
