A bucket list shoot for most of us. Group of seven attended a property near Bendigo for a game bird shoot. Walk up shooting over Springer, cocker gun dogs.
Well organised by a local shooter Mark, shooters attended from QLD, NT and locally.
Group met and stayed at marks Friday night and a cold early morning start Saturday morning had us at the venue. Safety brief , GMA license check and a purchase of non toxic / bio shells and first group away.
Lived up to expectations , with eager and very well behaved dogs the stars of the show. Mitch was first up with a clean shot on a pheasant. Retrieved by the springer that put it up. Continued on along the creek and we all took birds.
Hardest part of the shooting was letting the birds get out a bit before shooting, my first was too close.
Second group was made up of four and similar results.
Shotguns were all 12 gauge and mainly O/U. Tony being the only," Puka" shooter using a SXS (greener Empire). My SXS was out of action.
It will be repaired before next years shoot, or ill get a 20g SXS.
Brett one of the dog handlers had a very nice Manton 20g SXS on site. Very lively and came into line beautifully.
All up a well run shoot with a great bunch of shooters. Thanks to all that attended and the dog/ bird handlers, organiser of the shoot. Here's some pics and descriptions. Cheers Mick
