I tried a box of falcon ultra steel 5s this year.

For decoying birds the 5s worked a treat. I'm also tempted to try 6s now that the 5s have proven themselves

Yeah she was shooting 7s 28 gram of fast steel fiochi. Trap loads. I imagine if she was using big boy bullets the outcome would have been different . But for the experience you want to build on it being a good one and getting gun confidence and safety. Reaction times were slow and she missed seeing the absolute sitters but that's all part of it. Looking forward to some paddock shooting where we can sit there and enjoy

Lovely day down here on the Catlins coast. Had a wee service job to do at Kaka Point and about a 100m of the beach was literally hundreds of ducks. Can imagine it’ll be like that all the way to Stewart Is. Same at the head of Catlins Lake. The swan population has exploded there over the last couple of seasons. Needs to be no limit, open season on them.
