she works !

[tom604]

well she works pigeon pie flying rats

[bigpete]

Yep but I'm going to have to up the charge for crows I shot 3 from 20 to 40 yards and they all flew away winged up.

[bigpete]

Size 4s. Actually I find that I do pretty well with 7½'s for most of my bird control shooting. 6s are even better. I rarely use anything over 4s these days. I find bigger shot seems to work better if you have a good tight choke. The crows I shot at I would've expected to die on the spot with a 28gm load of 7s out of my coach gun

I have used 5s for all my small game for years. Rabbits to ducks. No problem if I do my bit. 2s for foxes. Just a friendly tip, you gotta shoot straight. Lol

[bigpete]

I was. 2 of them were just sitting on a post no more than 20m away.

Hmmm yes your right they were 8 rows over and the rows are 3m wide so they were 24m away
