Best Pigeon Shots Ever!! | Driven Wood Pigeons | Eley Hawk Zenith cartridges are Awesome!

Some of the most challenging and testing shooting I have ever experienced!
I love decoying wood pigeons but when I get the opportunity to test my ability on some high flighting woodies I can't turn down the opportunity!
On this day you will see me testing out the new Eley Hawk Zenith 4 36g with the new Pro Eco Wad. They are a heavy load for pigeons but when the birds are this good you need some stopping power!
It was a good chance to test out these cartridges for when I get out pheasant shooting on some high birds in a few weeks time. I was very impressed with these cartridges but check out the video for yourself and see why I liked them so much 😁
Hot Barrels,
Rob.

Absolutely stunning shooting Rob! They are an amazing bird. It's a big challenge to judge line, lead and lateral drift all in one but trying to stay hidden at the same time really makes it interesting to say the least. You are right to use quality cartridges too. Never fails to amaze me how some folks pay a modest fortune on guns and all the kit but baulk at the idea of investing in a quality cartridge to do the real job well. Thanks for posting!

Thanks mark! It was a fantastic challenge and really enjoyed it 😁 you are completely right bud! A quality shell is worth its weight in gold if it’s going to get them on the deck cleanly and in turn makes a more enjoyable day 👍 thank you for watching

[@martinjrgensen5138]

You have to put in the right spot, and you certainly do!!!

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Thanks Martin! Much appreciated 😁👍

[@johnnyhatch9052]

Full marks for spotting that line.

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

I can’t take credit for finding this line but the lad has a great eye 👌 was a great flight

[@michaelmaxwell5586]

Well shot. The Shotkam footage is vastly more informative than the Go Pro.

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

I agree 👍👍 thank you!

[@_Archie98]

Some splendid shots there, nothing wrong with those cartridges 👍👍

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Thank you! They certainly did the job 👌👍

[@manuelguerrero1752]

My friend you are a shooting machine

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

👍👍👍

[@pedrojsanchezalvarado5569]

Muy excelentes lances de cazerias amigos

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

👍👍

[@WhiteRoseShooting]

Great vid again! Take it you’re happy with those cartridges?

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Thank you! Love them 😁

[@grahamedwards9920]

Is there some particular advantage in shooting copper coated lead shot or is it hoped they will escape a lead ban?

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

It deforms less is the only advantage but won’t escape the lead ban unfortunately. It is not classed as non toxic

[@johnpepper5194]

Hi mate
Just a quick one, I see your shooting lefthanded, I'm lefthanded and struggling to find a shot gun o/u that fits, so what gun do you have?

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Hi bud, there are loads of left handed guns on the market. All have different fit depending on each person but a professional gun fit will help you choose 👍 I use a blaser f3 vantage and it fits me quite well

[@marco1964star]

What choke do you use, whats the cartridge shot zise and gram please

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

I use 1/2 chokes and they were 4 36g 👍

[@marco1964star]

@fieldsportswithspeed is good because many people use 7.5 or number 6, but number 4 sounds for Duck

[@ghillie35]

Are you going to use them on the pheasants the 36 4s

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

I certainly will be on the high birds! I’ve got a day in mind 😁😁

[@UlsterOutdoorsandFieldsports]

Sorry, but ihave to ask if you are sponsored by Eley?

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

I’m not but would like to be as they are great cartridges 👍👍

[@paullynch6718]

Too expensive for pigeons...but there great ive tried them

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

They are certainly expensive but I personally prefer a premium shell because I have greater confidence to do the job 👍

[@markbaillie2895]

Right tools for the job, you don't take a knife to a gun fight,you must be full,full chokes.?

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Absolutely!! And not full chokes, I use 1/2 choke. I have found the eco wads perform a lot better with a 1/2 choke compared to tighter chokes 👍

[@davidbilbrough3726]

These cartridges are a REALY STUPID PRICE (hope you did not pay for them yourself.) We are using Clear Pigeon 6's and knocking them down at all ranges!

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

They are very expensive I absolutely agree but non of the heavier loads are cheap! They certainly do the job and the cost of the 3 boxes I used compared to the memories of some of these shots I had is non comparable! 👍 worth every penny 😁

[@ramjamfull5]

Mist more than he hit top boys would show him up

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

They certainly would! 👍 but I’d hold my own against most 😊
