Duck Shooting at Cefngwyn Hall in Wales UK, High Ducks with 36g 1 Steel Cartridges.

Duck shooting at the very well known Cefngwyn Hall in West Wales UK, this was a 300 bird day with 9 guns.
The conditions were far from ideal for shooting as there wasn’t a breath of wind so most of the morning the birds weren’t flying was well as they usually do here, however there were still plenty to shoot at which was ideal for getting used to the new steel loads.
The final two drives were much better and Dean had got used to how much more lead that is required with steel on those higher birds.
The weight difference of the steel vs lead means the steel shot slows down faster at range, but you’ll see how effective they can be when put in the right place!

Great video and it was great to shoot with you Dean! Watching you shoot that last drive was humbling 😮
And the video doesn’t actually do those birds justice!!!

I enjoyed watching the video. Great to see Fern turn out to be a good steady dog.

She has been a pleasure to train and everyone comments on how she just sits there marking the birds down.

[@DKG.Fieldsports]

Thank you Pedro

[@avpinstarter]

Did you find you needed more lead or less with the steel

[@grahamshepherd4847]

WHAT CHOKES were you using please? thanks

[@DKG.Fieldsports]

Two half chokes through 32” MK38.
Express recommendations were to use 1/4, but half was the most open I had, however they patterned fine through them.

[@grahamshepherd4847]

yes. i put 1's , steel through my 3/8 set of chokes. but yes, 1/4s are the rcommended for HP steel apparently her in UK, tho gamebore website says 1/2. so that s why I though 3/8 would be OK. Im only a novice shot, but have got a few ducks with that set up. thanks@@DKG.Fieldsports

@grahamshepherd4847 Fabarm actually say you can use hp steel through full choke! I think for most normal 30-50 yard ducks, 1/4 is fine..
I will, when I get chance pattern test these through cyl, 1/4 & 1/2 at 30 & 60 yards. Will be interesting to see what chokes actually produce the best pattern.
