It pains me to say, but on some estate videos, Daves skill surpass their ability to deliver distant enough birds.
I hate seeing shots that are at birds 3 pegs down.
Out there doing it best I can.

Sounds to me like there's less distance between pegs than at the driven shoots in which I've participated (none of which emphasized really tall birds). Every now and then--especially if the gun to your R or L is a friend--a bit of friendly "poaching" is more or less expected. But I can't imagine shooting at a bird 2 pegs away, let alone 3.

Larry,
Dave powders partridges at 70 honest yards.
It always bugs me when the camera shows him taking a bird well down the line.
Thats my American anxiety writing.
He a fantastic ambassador for the shooting sports in the UK.
Its nice to see some friends in his videos.
Out there doing it best I can.

Its complicated fox.
The grounds at Ames are managed to differentiate between the most elite birddogs.
So, in field trials, no shooting of birds is done. Thats not the purpose. But, there have to be enough on the courses for the dogs to find enough over the course of three hours to differentiate between the best and all the rest.
So, they supplement the native stocks. With out released quail there would be no field trials at Ames Plantation.
