Rough Shoot - Pheasant And Pigeon Dec 2014

Earlier in the week I decided to go for walk around some farmland with JC for a spot of rough shooting. This also gave me the opportunity to take my GoPro out and have a play. We bagged serval birds but I must apologise for the bad language and some of the terrible banter between myself and JC. JC was using his 12 gauge/bore Miroku and I was using my Midland Gun Co 12 Gauge/Bore.

Pheasant Shoot In Norfolk 29th November

Last weekend I attended a shoot in the  picturesque countryside of Norfolk at a small village called Stoke Holy Cross. The shoot had 8 drives positioned all around the farm with woodland and brush. The day started with bacon rolls and coffee then onto the field for the first 4 drives. I draw to start on peg 4 and each drive I moved up 2. I definitely had one of the busiest pegs and was kept on my toes all day. Here is a few photos form the day.

Its always a pleasure to watch gun dogs working

The total for the day was 72 birds, myself personally got 17 but could of been more. I was using my Midlands Gun Co over and under with Gamebore 'Clear Pigeon' 32g. I don't usually use these for pheasant shooting but I've got hundreds of them left over and couldn't get down to my local gun smiths to pick up.

Overal a fantastic day which was ran by some brilliant hosts, the hospitality was outstanding and really made me feel welcome.  I'm really looking forward to coming next year!

Thank you Adrian, Robert and Donna

Pheasant Shoot This Weekend

I'm really looking forward to this weekend because I've been fortunate enough to be invited to a pheasant shoot in Norfolk on Saturday. I've had the gun out tonight giving it a clean ready for the big day, I feel like christmas has come early. The shoot is on a farm in Norfolk near Stoke Holy Cross situated a stones throw away from Norwich.

I will be using my Midland Gun Co over and under which is a 12 Bore/gauge. It's a lovely gun but I am looking for a replacement. As you probably are aware buying a second shotgun in the pheasant season is quite hard due to the high demand and there aren't as many nice guns to pick up. I will probably hold out until the end of season because then you find some real good buys. 

Fingers crossed I can get some good photos at the weekend and hopefully a few birds.
