. Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of being invited to shoot in the UK on a partridge and pheasant shoot. A great day of driven birds with a final bag of some 282 birds. 09.30 start, 4 drives, no ground game, stop at 11.00 for refreshments, shoot through to 15.00 and lunch afterwards. Here some Pictures and captions which may give a feel for the day - I drew peg 4 to start  All kitted out  Awaiting the first drive  First one over  A left and right  A successful first drive!  Changing landscapes  A runner!  A brace of Frenchmen!  A bird in the hand!  A great drive & smiles all around!  Filling up the gamecart  Redlegs!  High partridge with the wind behind them - you may hit them but you can't beat them ! Cheers Charlie . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | ||

Looks like fantastic fun. Thanks for sharing. If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

Bucket list event for me, for sure! Congrats! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

. Andrew, I may be lots of things but not a snob. I can do a 5 star Scottish highland game lodge as equally as a fly camp in the Kafue, as you indeed know ! Anja? She was there and when she was not loading for me or taking pics she was drinking soup and champagne! As one's good lady does old boy !  . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

What fun... High on my list as a "Next Adventure" I see that you were shooting a 20b, how is your gun choked and what shells (shot size and weight) were you using. | |||

. Zephyr hi. Yes indeed I was Shooting a 20 bore. 1923 Boss sidelock, sweet little shotgun choked 1/4 and 1/2. Eley fiber wad paper cased 25 gram 5s. Paper cartridges do not expand as much as plastic and dont stick in the chambers of an old gun like plastic can do. Do the business nicely. Birds were wonderful - I guess 30 to 50 odd yards up so there was a good mix. But fast ! Cheers Charlie . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

. A couple of years ago we put together a group shoot in the UK. 2 formal days, 3 evenings duck flighting, 1 rough day and a day of high volume crows! Not a business / profit just a fun week of likeminded people enjoying British wingshooting at its best. And it was not that expensive. Maybe we should think about doing it again in 2018 in combination with a couple of London days and visits to some of the gun makers ! Charlie . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||
