Has anyone seen on YouTube and/or participated in the estate shoots sponsored by Dave Carrie Shooting? They look like well organized events that, in addition to fine shooting and dining, support communities and game management.

I watch all his videos. He takes his "High Bird" shooting seriously.
He also is a very good shot.

That Guy can shoot..... He is the real deal....I get this info from friends that I have shot with in Scotland and the UK that are highly experienced......
They confirm he is First rank on HIGH Birds....
Now , I (like a lot of others ) question the ethics of shooting beyond the known range of certain Killing by a given choke/load/gun combination....
Ballistic science tells us the real "Sure Kill" distance of our gun and loads....
Shooting beyond a range that a kill can be scored with certainty by the perfect hold is not ethical in my book....
Just my opinion.....

I think that you will find that, where needed, he does shoot heavy loads of large shot to achieve some of those high bird kills. It looks impressive though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNdBHvhNwOY&feature=youtu.be36g No.4 for the very high birds.

Yes, hes really talented on those high birds. In his videos, Mr. Carrie also takes the time to introduce his host and usually the gamekeeper and also his loader- I like that.
I think his videos are shot by jonathan McGee, another very talented gentleman.
On another related subject: would be beneficial for USA shooters to post their experiences with shooting in UK on this discussion board? I'm very interested in UK shooting and information is sometimes hard to obtain on this side of the ocean.
Anyway- Carrie's videos are super!

What do you want to know?
I shot with Frank Boddy at Ripley Castle, you can't go wrong there. He's on YouTube as well.
Great sport with great people.
Out there doing it best I can.

They may look far in the video but you can't tell by a camera because the lens of the camera distorts the range.

No Treb

I can't even get a club to try that set up for practice.

In Fieldsports Magazine a few months ago there was an article about a guy who wanted to set up a 28 bore for high pheasants.
Ended up buying a Perazzi and sent it over to the US to have the barrels regulated.
On the first outing he gave it to Simon Ward a English shooting instructor. I believe Simon ended up killing like 28 pheasants with a little over 30 shells.
Dave Carrie if you watch all his videos puts lots of time and effort in to practicing and explaining high bird shooting.
It has become somewhat of a fashion over there.
I would not criticize as obviously they put a lot of time in in practice and the best shell selection for the job at hand.
