Gallery Images and Information

We’ve agonised over this a lot. Do what everyone else does and put up photos of your best days or just give some hint of the enjoyment to be had from pigeon shooting. The problem with those big bag photos is everyone expects that to be the norm and it most definitely isn’t where Woodpigeon shooting is concerned. Even a poor day out shooting pigeons is, to our minds at least, worth a damn site more than a good day stuck in the office! Just look at the smiles on these faces.

Hides
info Bale Hide This is a bale hide using extendable hide poles and a straw coloured net to extend a large (just under 2 metres square) bale. Loose straw was then woven through the net. A great way to get a set-up right out in the field. The crop was harvested barley and the bag was pigeons, rooks and the odd jackdaw.	info Bracken and Net Hide This hide was built on a rabbit fence line against a pine tree that gave overhead cover. Again extendable poles and a net, a green/brown one this time, were used simply set straight against the fence and bracken woven into the net. Total concealment! The guys using it said they couldn’t find it when returning from retrieving shot birds even from 3 metres away! In fact we wouldn’t have picked it out in the image unless one of the guns decided to get in on the picture. The field being shot was harvested barley and the bag was mainly pigeons.
