    I got 13 pari's on fri night and 4 mallard hens . I then went out again on sun evening and got another 15 pari's. It's a bit annoying when you only have three shots when a mob of 10 comes in.Name:  fridays tally.jpg

    Got this fulla tonight, was great fun, my dogs were up a hill and working hard with me and a mate waiting below, put out 5 hens at this spot before a rooster escaped out left, bugger we thought and started to walk off, then this one went as well, and fell cleanly to a long high shot, and was then nicely retrieved down the hill, I was rapt

    That has to be over 30 bars. Have you counted?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks guys still haven't plucked it as it's such a beauty of a bird seems a shame. I used to hear 30 bars was good but I think that's a bit small as not that uncommon, I think 35 is a good bird but you do get birds up to 40 bar so that'd be a beauty tail!
