I have an issue with shooting magazines promoting high pheasant shooting articles and intimating that anyone can do it.
We then get commercial shoots selling days to teams of guns with either none or very little experience of ever shooting at a pheasant at a greater range than 30 yards.
It isn't easy , so please, practice on high driven clays before venturing out onto a truly high pheasant day.Good instruction can be bought for the price of three dead pheasants, but is very rarely purchased before setting foot in the Field.
I increasingly find that many Guns, expectations,and ego's, far outstrips their ability.
