Sausagedog 7,381 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Out with my new pump and downed 22 and picked 16. I've been struggling to shoot well the last few days but did better today. I was using some old express special pigeon cartridges in #6. They were very good at both ends of the gun! 7 Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 That net looks a bit too open for my liking , do you not get birds veering off ? I like to be well concealed. 1 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 No birds turned away. Most dropped straight on in. Just not many. I do have a secondary net that goes in front also usually. You can see it in this picture. 2 Quote Link to post

Turned up at a field one day and a guy was sitting there with his stealth net , he might as well have just sat in the field with no net. I could see him down both sides and from the front , another one with all the gear and no idea Quote Link to post
