Virgin Pigeon Shooter (Dave Carrie Shooting)

[@keithtpc1508]

Great video as always Dave, I have a friend who shot 158 pigeons with 182 shells with Jim Albone in Cambridge , he takes on allcomers even at long range. To give you some idea of his ability he is a busy landscape gardener so only managed to shoot clays twice this year, he's fired less than a slab of shells all year. He had an accident recently which caused his left eye to be temporarily blurred however he decided to still go to the British open and shot 109 out of 120, one behind George Digweed who shot 110. This may sound unbeleivable but it is absolutely true. If anyone disputes this put a post on here and arrange a day to watch him shoot and be amazed.

Well shot DAVE, look what you’ve been missing all these years, pigeons are just behind Grouse in difficulty and it costs little to have a good day out 👏👏

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@davidsammels2124 spot on David,fantastic bird, gutted I’ve missed out😩

[@alanwilliamson2259]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video, and the aspect of conservation hunting that came through. Stunning countryside. Thankyou so much.

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@alanwilliamson2259 thanks Alan👍

[@shooter7577]

excellent vid dave and some cracking birds shot, the hide was about 4 inch to high it hampered your swing on quite a few birds i set mine up just below chest height so not hampered with the low birds coming in to the decoys

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

Fully agree with you and annoying, but I think it was set a bit high on purpose as farmers were working in part of an adjacent field, far enough away in my opinion, but probably precautionary.

[@edwardnersesian1324]

What a change of pace to see Dave Carrie in a camo tee shirt and baseball cap; you'd look right at home in a dove field here! Some seriously good shooting on those high ones, a pleasure to watch. I've always thought it's great that there is a market for the birds and that they are are appreciated in restaurants in the UK. Have a great season, take care and best regards as always, Ed.

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

Thanks Ed Wishing I had started a lot earlier tho, what a fantastic sporting bird👌

[@greghoisington9346]

Another great video Dave it’s been a while. Glad to see you back and still a hell of a shot.

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@greghoisington9346 thanks Greg, much appreciated 👍

[@calibreman]

Thank you for this excellent video Dave, well done. Regarding the decline in bird populations, I was born in 1946 and grew up in Brighton surrounded by downland. All small birds were plentyful, Finches, Skylarks, Blackbirds, Songthrushes etc. Also insects, so many different species which are hardly seen these days. An example, back then there were so many Bees on the garden flowers the sound of which I would liken to a symphony orchestra playing. Sadly those days are gone. Geoff.

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@calibreman Mmm yes I think you’re right the amount of insects have definitely declined! The sound of bees in the meadows and sparrows in the farmyard was something special 👌

[@berndb.2110]

Hello Mr Carrie! Very nice video, you did a great job for the local farmers. I had to laugh when you said, you are an absolute beginner, because you wete shooting like a pro. Once in my lifetime I want to shoot as you call it an absolute beginner! Thank you for taking along and as always all the very best from Austria, Bernd 🤠👍

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

thanks my friend, i thought you might be amused at the title😂😂

[@allenjones15]

Another excellent film MrC 👏👏

Great video Dave looking well mate all the best Glen

@@gundogsdirect thanks buddy much appreciated 👍

[@davepayne586]

nice one dave, good video

[@PaulGresswell]

Good content Dave but l see you remain a martyr to recoil from heavy loads, 29/30g of fibre wadded 6's through 1/4 & 3/8 chokes does the job and still kills out to 60yds. Well done, keep the faith.

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@PaulGresswell thanks!! I do like experimenting.😬

[@sevencolours3281]

Again beautiful film. 🎉

[@baba-hx5td]

Would love to see you using a shotkam It would be interesting to see your lead and barrel speed

[@stevemaynard9003]

Shotcam adds a lot of weight to gun barrel, making it more difficult to shoot well.

[@Hoodyhoo2121]

The Pigeon load must be a shoulder kicker? 34 gram load at 1,450 fps. That load is more powerful than our standard dove/pigeon loads here in the US. I shoot a 30-32 gram load at 1,200 fps mostly- and that's a pretty standard load over here. Wish I could get that load you're using over here!

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@Hoodyhoo2121 Gamebore/Kent cartridges- have a facility in the states for clay cartridges, might also sell other loads 🤔

[@p.williamfox6417]

MasterClassAmmo and Clayshooterssupply are a good source for Gamebore ammunition in the US and they both have the Gamebore extreme pigeon loads available for online purchase in the us. I have used these loads and they are milder than typical us manufactured 1300fps 11/4 oz loads. The powders and wading that Gamebore uses makes really makes a difference. All Gamebore loads I have tried so far have been great.

[@yipyip-of1xb]

Some tidy shots there 👍

[@iosebabuladze8667]

Super, amazing, Thanks a lot for video.

[@EdmundDarnton]

Cracking video, watch out Geoff Garrod!!

[@jonathancload2602]

Hi Dave, good to see you shooting well as always! I must admit I was a bit surprised to see plastic wads being used?

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

Mmm, i don't think there will be many about in a few years time, i would say most of the cartridge companies are still hanging on to a few lines in plas wad whilst the alternative bio wad gets a good airing in the field. thanks for the honest feed back.👍👍

[@dc6869]

A great video dave.pigeon shooting does sort the boys from the men. I noticed that you have changed the but pad on the crown..is that for recoil or fit?

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@dc6869 I cracked the other stock this is one of my MK38 Trap stocks👍

[@rodolpheROGER]

Dear Monsieur Carrie, fantastic video as usual, so informative too even from over here on the other side of the pond in North Carolina! Is there a video from you testing the new shell with bismuth by Game bore at your "backyard"? They are so informative and true, if not let them give a few extra shells to test, you are there best advertisement! May Saint Hubert keep blessing you for the rest of the time, take good care of yourself please, thank you again for All the help!

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@rodolpheROGER thanks, really pleased that you enjoyed our first pigeon film!! I will be filming a few test loads soon, keep your eyes peeled 👍

[@RobertSimmons-j4x]

Try a 28g 7.5, gamebore velocity perfect, you'll be very very surprised!

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

Good cartridge 👌

[@graemerussell4109]

Look at the sport you had in the hide Dave compared to the cost of driven shooting

[@CM.243]

Be careful about GL42. We've had the constabulary turn up and check things out.

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

Thanks buddy It is all genuine crop protection, other fields on the left were laid wheat, dare not set up there! We would have done more damage.

[@hbombuk]

Great video but why litter the fields with plastic wads? I find fibre very adequate & biodegradable.

[@theessexhunter1305]

340 yards up that hill Dave..3 trips to get the kit up there lol 5 trips with the pigeons kzbin.infobPc40sXFl5s?feature=share A 100 not so far kzbin.info4pCv0L3srq4?feature=share You soon worked out the timing Dave..

[@PedroSanchezAlvarado]

🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨

[@Apocalyptic656]

Hide a bit high and hide poles, inhibiting your shooting, over kill on those cartridges not necessary 24, 28gm load half choke, but your pigeon man should no this

[@DaveCarrieShooting]

@@Apocalyptic656 good sound advice on the setup thanks!! I do like a killer cartridge tho😂
