Ultimate .410 cartridge for pigeons, game and clays

Paul Childerley loves a .410 shotgun. Whether it is on a game day or clay shoot, he enjoys the challenge of the smaller calibre, plus the benefits of less recoil, less weight, and less bang. Today, he's trying to have a day on the pigeons with a selection of guns and shells. The birds have other ideas and move to another field. Those that are heading our way are finding Paul's hide offensive to the eye, so he has to try and come up with a strategy that'll deliver the goods. The side-by-side, Hushpower and hammergun, all in .410, all have different characteristics. One thing Paul is certain about is the ultimate .410 cartridge. ▶ For the kit showcased in this film, visit https://kitfinder.co.uk ▶ Sign up for our weekly email newsletter https://FieldsportsChannel.tv/register ▶ To watch all of #FieldsportsBritain, episode 711, visit https://FieldsportsChannel.tv/fieldsp... ▶ Fieldsports Shop http://fieldsports.shop ▶ Take part in nature.

The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield. Equivalent loss of £125/ha for Oil Seed Rape, £250/ha for peas, £350-£1250/ha for brassicas) to agricultural crops every year including cereals, brassicas, oilseed rape, peas and salad crops. Pigeon damage reduces the yield, quality, appearance and ultimately the saleability of the crop. Pigeons can also cause damage in gardens and allotments - pecking at the leaves and ripping off portions, often leaving just the stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes. The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production. Wild pigeon (game) is natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It’s low in cholesterol and high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious. ‘m’ We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside.
