Pigeons!

As it is Mothers Day, Phil & Seb are not going Clay shooting this weekend.

However, to get their shooting 'fix', they went out yesterday evening to see if there were any pigeons about.

Decoys were set up and then off to the hide to sit and wait.

A couple flew over and checked out the decoys but they were just too far away to get a shot.

Some more flew in and shots were taken but luck was on the pigeons side.

More waiting and watching when their luck changed and it was a pigeon each!

So we will be having pigeon for tea tomorrow.

Watch out on ribblevalleygourmet.blogspot.com for an upcoming recipe!

Classified!

Well, they have now done their 3 claypigeon shoots which gives them a temporary classification. Seb was the highest scoring 'colt' on one of the shoots, so he is really pleased.

One of the colts missed some clays, he then got a strop on, kicked his Dad and then got carted home halfway through!

Weekend off but they went to Coniston on Wednesday where they both got reasonable scores on the Compack range. Next weekend off to Shugborough again.

I have got some new items arriving soon on www.Bavarian-mountainhound.co.uk keep looking for more things coming soon!

The Clay Shooting continues............

At 7am (on a Sunday morning!) Phil and Seb set off again (this time without me) to go to 2 new shooting grounds.

They need to get 3 authorised shoots in before the end of March and a further 2 before the end of April. This will then give them the classification score that they need to enter Clay Pigeon Shooting competitions.

Today they have gone to Doveridge and Kingsley Moor (also perhaps going to Catton Hall).

Last week they did ok but it is all still a learning experience for them both.

During the week they had a lesson at Coniston Shooting Ground in North Yorkshire, a beautiful setting and really nice people. The shooting lodge is fantastic!

Fingers crossed they do well but there are so many good shots out there.
