Thick and fast action!
As you all know I love judging my own performance via video in order to improve. Here you see multiple errors driven by the speed of shooting. That’s why we love live shooting, it is never perfect.
For those wondering why the lower shot, this is me safely dispatching a wounded bird after it had passed the flag man.
Great loading by George who did a great job of keeping everyone safe as we had somewhat of an audience!

FYI
Guns - pair of 30 inch Titanium Fabbri’s choked 6/10 and 6/10
Cartridges - Hull 28g 6 grouse
Loader - Gorgeous George
Dog - Merlin 🧙‍♂️ the monster

Had a great day today shooting traditional partridges over hedges. An often forgotten art of shooting which of course requires a different set of skills. Landing the dead birds at your feet and the holy grail of 3 dead in the air at once!

Some say he looks like Father Christmas 🎅 in his new jumper……..others say he can turn a partridge in mid air using nothing but the power of his mind and he frequently talks to the animals who ignore him!………the rest of us know him as the legend that is @johnqueenlinhopeest another great day 👍

Nice refreshing cold 🥶 water swim this morning…….no I did not join him!
