A herfer's cheap and cheerful walked up day would be a hoot. I've joined a walk one, stand one syndicate this year and am just off to top up feeders. Small shoots with plenty of walking and dog working and a small, quality bag is very much my cup of tea. Personally think 1,500 bag is a slaughter, but each to his own.

Try to get a cigar in, but can be tricky managing one with a Beretta and a lively Spaniel
Be even trickier holding and smoking a nub cigar
while waiting for birds to fly over.Comment

There was a measly 1200 in the bag by the end of the second day...
can imagine the number of cartridges that go in the bin bag at the end of the day
that is a lot of birds compared to our shoot ,250 bird day an on the estate we go to.Comment

I knew it was going to be a big couple of days when I overheard the shoot host tell the keeper that the shot count for the first drive alone was just over 1100...Originally posted by TonyN View PostComment

Now if you have the money to do a 600 bird day, then you clearly shoot a good number of days a year. But with c6 drives in a day, and 100 birds per drive, thats a 10:1 shot to kill ratio and c ?150-200 on cartridges alone on the first drive suggests a bit more practice might be in order!?! Even on superby challenging birds thats a duff rate! Unless i simply havent seen birds that good yet!Originally posted by Simon-JG-hr View Post"Dear heart, you're talking to a man- a real man- who drinks straight Tequilla, with lime and salt on the rim, and smokes cigars" (J Zavala)Comment

They only shot 7 drives over the two days. They're good birds even this early in the year - but there's no denying that the old boys were a little past their prime...

Nine, apart from the final drive on Monday when one of them was a little under the weather.

That's what you call hot barrels that number of shots.Comment

I discovered a few years ago walk one stand one syndicates only work on the right ground. A winter walking hundreds of acres of Lincolnshire sugar beet when only 600 birds had been released got somewhat old VERY quickly.Comment

Perfect for informal walked up though i'd imagine.... More an armed ramble than a structured shoot day?Originally posted by Tucky View Post"Dear heart, you're talking to a man- a real man- who drinks straight Tequilla, with lime and salt on the rim, and smokes cigars" (J Zavala)Comment

Hmmm, it doesn't sound like the most fun way to spend a morning, you're right.Originally posted by Tucky View Post
Understandably envious! I've watched a couple of YouTube videos of groups out in Hungary, it looks like they know how to put on a show over there. Any country that can give us the Vizsla must be doing something right on the shooting front.Originally posted by Emaresee View PostComment
