John, beg to differ, one of your photos says otherwise.

Not quite M'Lud, take heart. A pic from Feb this year of my friend Matt, 12, with his first driven pheasant. I wasn't present but I know that drive well and there are few easy birds; his Dad said it was a corker. He was using my .410 bolt action Webley and Scott. I've seen Matt shoot clays and he's (very) good, a real cool little customer.



Matt enjoys his days beating, works his ferrets on rabbits having shot a few with his air rifle, and potted woodpigeon over decoys too.

Well done young un - fetching a pheasant down with a 410 is no mean feat
