I may not agree with it but different country, different rules. You could say the same thing for shooting over here. Standing there waiting for ducks to fly in where they feed. Time to come off your high horse Eddie.
Well to be fair, it’s more sporting than whatever the do to dispatch supermarket chickens. They both are raised and end up being food so not much difference in the two. I wouldn’t pay to do it but it doesn’t bother me any. Not sure why they all have hunting gear on though
That is not game shooting it is bloody slaughter I am glad we in England know how to treat our game birds and this should never have been shown on Fieldsport Channel this is all the anti need it is disgusting,
I would not let it worry you the only difference is on some shoots in the UK the pheasants are shot much lower, and as for the duck in the UK 1000 gets put down and flies around until they shoot the bag. ‘Game shooting” 😂
Then let’s agree to comment as shooters when low and I mean low birds are shot .. if we all commented when we see that and Guns were warned once politely and then told to put their guns away or go home ..would things not improve??
@@philjackman3734why would you not shoot low birds, are you dumb? If a bird naturally comes in low and close, won't you let it for a more effective and humane kill? I guess Im a monster when decoying jackdaws and crows because I wait if the bird sits on the ground to shoot it if I can
Don't lose sight of the fact the level of outrage is actually a positive here. It demonstrates that hunters in the UK operate to a higher ethical standard. I don't think this plays into the hands of the antis. I think it shows the antis the majority of UK hunters have higher ethical standards and a moral compass and are not the bloodthirsty, trigger happy nutters they like to portray us to be. I am glad it was shown and even more pleased at the reaction it has provoked. I doubt there would be the appetite for it to happen here in the uk.
Why do we always seek approval from antis, you'll never get it, they hate us.Judging others harshly does not make us better. The birds were killed closely, cleanly and retrieved quickly. From a sporting point of view it didn't seem to offer much challenge or sport but apart from that I can't see anything wrong with what they do if you accept that Pheasants are bred to sport shoot and kill. Killing cleanly is surely the biggest priority.
What nonsense this is no different from any pheasant or partridge shoot just a different angle there coming from it's all outdated disgusting and wrecking the biodiversity.
I think you might be losing sight of the fact that all antis want a total ban on shooting . They will cherry pick snippets from this video and twist it to reinforce their own agendas . All that this video has done is given them free video that they don’t have to make . In my opinion its very short sighted on there part to post this
@789mattt I think you might be losing sight altogether,antis as you call them don't have to watch this muck ,the shooting fraternity are so far up themselves they think this film is far removed from what happens in the UK, it's no difference whatsoever apart from a different colour bow maybe.
Absolutely disgusting. Why are you publishing this carnage? Stupidity and presents the wrong image. This is not fieldsports, it has no sporting element. Just a horrible bloodthirsty activity. If you must shoot birds then they must have a good chance of escape.
Was going to comment but then thought ill get slated, but im glad to see that all the other fellow hunters have some decency and sense aswell. This kind of shooting is not hunting, its not driven game, its just wrong on whatever level you want to place it. Quite sad this channel has decided to even show it tbh, this is about the only thing I would ever get on board with banning.
@@GavinM161I’m not trying to say what’s right or wrong and be the judge and jury. You cannot if you have any ethics at all think this is an ok way to shoot game. It’s a certain death for the animal, where is the sport. Guns are licensed for sport, game/animal or ranges/clays. Tell me where this kind of shooting comes into those brackets. It’s not sporting, it’s not anything except a certain death for the bird and certain fixed result for the shooters. It’s wrong on every level sorry and field sports posting this kind of crap to UK audience that no doubt Anti’s follow is nothing but a field day for them
If millions say the truth the government can't even give back under pension it old people nothing can happen you got foreigners just openly stealing food from supermarkets its all over I see revolution
Charlie clearly set this as an example of shooting game that is outside of UK norms. Everyone is getting very upset unnecessarily, better to see this and decide that shooting game in Slovakia isn’t for us.
Wtf Charlie? I appreciate the difference between British and foreign practices, and this highlights the difference for the antis. But this was beyond grim.
Wow, £400 for a license!! That’s the price of some people’s gun! Should have seen it coming from labour. Where will the tax funds come from once people start handing in their licenses because they can’t afford to possess one anymore? - that includes clothing, ammunition, scopes, guns, and much much more on equipment. You would have thought labour would learn from their many many mistakes. I see that their “growth” isn’t quite going to plan.
Personally think it's rubbish not sporting at all and ridiculous to call it hunting but it's a different country and attitude towards it so my comment is a bit naive
I have seen some very good replicas, such as the bag I bought at kislux . The craftsmanship of modern replicas is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and they are within millimeters of each other. It is difficult to tell which ones are fake.
That's not hunting, it just blasting birds out of the sky who stand no chance. Appalling! I think stuff like this really is a danger to our sport. I think these kind of practices happen the more east you go into Europe. I doubt this is allowed in Germany, Austria, Netherlands Belgium etc.
I guess they get ready, button up, load up, look cool in their clothing, set the camera and shout pull, then someone throws one captured bird directly in their direction, they shoot it. And in some alternate universe on planet wealthy, they think they belong to the same community that I do.
The hand release is commonly how it is done in Canada. Being an ex game keeper from the UK from many years ago before I came here, I was appalled. The return rates on pheasants are high... maybe 65% which is not possible with pen release. The closest to this here is walked up over pointers, all up the arse shooting, again I am not overly keen. The birds are not what I woukd consider "quality" targets, lacking height, lacking speed, lacking explosive flush.
The fact fieldsports channel havent condemned this is baffling. No wonder theres so many antis. Such a shame cause the rest of the video after that was brilliant abd had a really amazing message about the conservation importance of big game hunting.
Totaly overemotional response from the brits here. The birds are still guided over guns & shot. I bet the biggest difference is all of those birds will be eaten, unlike in the uk 🤪
I was watching that ‘hunting’ with one eye closed and squinting through the other, such was my horror. However, I was delighted to see Katie Hargreaves featured - I already have a few of her wonderful prints and the Flying Six will be my next purchase.
I completely disagree with the method of 'hunting' shown here in Slovakia... I appreciate you showing us other cultures methods though, even though I disagree with it!
Brilliant video Charley and team as always , nice to see how other cultures do things , splitting image that's some idea and the lads with their interpretation of driven game, kind of a poor mans shoot , very interesting, Cheers and Merry Christmas to you and all the team from across the pond ☘
If/when lead shot gets banned for use in shotguns, what is the largest steel shot size that can be fired safely through a shotgun? E.g can you fire AAA or SG? Can you guys do a video testing this? Thanks
I'm sure BASC would be disgusted by this behaviour, up their own arse shooters having FUN, shooting birds launched 1 by 1 that have been kept in pens. They then disgracefully show off the birds like they have been hunting.
That is just horrible! I’m not anti game shooting but that is a step too far for me. How is it spirt to throw a bird into the firing line? I wish you hadn’t bothered posting this video and glad to say this behaviour isn’t something that would be found amongst shoots and individual guns near me.
Words fail me, I cannot believe this channel would be associated with that type of killing (yes killing), any non shooters would just associate all shooters with that, we are our own worst enemies, and that film did not help shooting in any way shape or form, who on earth thought up that film? Unbelievable!
So whats the difference between this and a 1000 bird day? Not uncommon for shoots to top up birds halfway through season in the UK. On a positive note birds looked in decent condition fully feathered.
This is just so wrong...... can't say what i really want to say, as i would get banned. Totally unsporting, and not much skill required either,.... sorry, it's a big NO from me.
Charlie, have you lost your mind putting this sick garbage on? You just leave yourselves wide open to guilt by association. What next, clubbing rabbits to death in a squash court.
Not a great idea to publish this I don't think - even by association it makes our UK shooting community look bad! Very different shooting culture for sure, but to the uneducated anti-shooting brigade in the UK this just fuels the fire.
No different from uk pheasant shoots apart from in the uk 3 times as many birds would have been slaughtered the birds are bred to be shot for sport by people with too much money pheasant shoots are pointless. Would be better off doing simulated game days as most guns want to shoot the birds but don't want to touch them
labour pre election manifesto shows £20 million from full cost recovery of firearms licensing but not to improve the service but for knife crime initiatives. as for the hunting shown, yes in poor taste but then english driven game shooting is not hunting either.
Watching this driven shooting continental style. Not sporting YER! What about the use of THERMAL and Infer red Scopes then in the U.K. "Hunting is more about expectation than result" A Hungarian Saying.
Well it’s bird shooting and you have to consider that raising birds as we do will be almost impossible with wolves bears boar raccoon dogs foxes jackals and much more. I think it’s easy to critisize but I think it’s an interesting piece worthy of airing . Considering the love of high bird shoots in the UK - is that ethical ? It must lead to far more wounded birds
You're the karen mate, if i don't like or agree with something ill say it. Not bottle up with some politically correct BS and say oh their country their rules 😂
@duopkik oh aye youre just in tears over these "karens" expressing their opinion just as you are? Youre hilarious lad, look in the mirror ya hypocrite merry christmas 😂😂

What a terrible shoot in Slovakia: more like a sim day, but with pegs very close together and live birds instead of clays, with little chance of their survival. Aside form the highly questionable ethics, I am amazed that guns would pay for such poor "sport".
Disgraceful. Where is the sport in this? A very poor decision to film and then publish this.
It's the real world, why not report on things like this, looked like a good event, well run ect.
So are we debating the definition of a sporting chance? Just asking?
I may not agree with it but different country, different rules.
You could say the same thing for shooting over here. Standing there waiting for ducks to fly in where they feed.
Time to come off your high horse Eddie.
If you are a sporting shooter … you dont shoot birds 6 ft off the ground .. ducks or others !!!
Well to be fair, it’s more sporting than whatever the do to dispatch supermarket chickens. They both are raised and end up being food so not much difference in the two. I wouldn’t pay to do it but it doesn’t bother me any. Not sure why they all have hunting gear on though
Please don't call it hunting as it isn't.
2:45 what’s the point? It’s not hunting it’s just glorified farming with a different kind of dispatch.
Yeah dont really feel like hunting
That is not game shooting it is bloody slaughter I am glad we in England know how to treat our game birds and this should never have been shown on Fieldsport Channel this is all the anti need it is disgusting,

shame on you, nothing to do with hunting.
It's called “Game Shooting” 😂
Just to add my voice that this was a mistake, this isn't hunting and not something I'd ever want a part of.
Totaly overemotional response from the brits here. The birds are still guided over guns & shot. I bet the biggest difference is all of those birds will be eaten, unlike in the uk 🤪
I thought the "hand thrown birds" was going to be a spoof... sadly, not.

How this channel thinks it’s acceptable to show this on a uk channel… disgusting
Some of the pheasants were high enough, but not a single duck was. That was not sport.
Birds don’t get much of a sporting chance there, not for me thanks, glad the UK has a different approach.
A disgrace. We don't do that in the UK. Hand thrown disgrace
This has nothing to do with hunting, but with shooting
I went to a UK shoot that had ducks coming three at a time.....
I never went back,they must have been doing this.
I don't agree with the hand thown shooting.

As a gamekeeper in the uk this is awful. This is nothing more than mass slaughter. Been watching the field sports channel for years now unsubscribed.
Think I’d rather do a simulated game day. The general public must have thicker skin over there.
So whats the difference between this and a 1000 bird day?
Not uncommon for shoots to top up birds halfway through season in the UK.
On a positive note birds looked in decent condition fully feathered.
There are more woodcock now than ever I can find up to 100 a day on my ground with a team of good setters defo no shortage
Wonder if the birds have a preference.
I don’t want to see this “style” of shooting on this channel or any other! This is grist to the mill for antis everywhere.
I would say in the uk it would be classed as cruel. How we do it in the uk everything gets a sporting chance. A interesting article though
This is just so wrong...... can't say what i really want to say, as i would get banned. Totally unsporting, and not much skill required either,.... sorry, it's a big NO from me.
Fucking disgrace?

The Munty had just done a runner from one of Tom Kerridge`s overpriced eateries 😂
I am not sure if it’s ridiculous or absurd or just outrageous.
Ever heard of a 'Tower Shoot'? Standard in the New England states- hilarious!
Feeding Cows anti Farting Chemicals 1🤔 Merry Christmas to you All

It's not a grey partridge, it's an English. She's cute though!
They’d be better off on a simulated clay day!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD DOES--LIKE IT OR NOT IT IS EDUCATIONAL
WHAT happened to the best of hunting youtube with James Marshington??? It was the best part of the show.........
Tired
so £400 would solve the problem
Great show and a Merry Christmas to you all 🎉
Nice mag m8 ,my brown inlaw had the airarms Kamsin i think it was called lol😊
Disgusting, that's not hunting the birds have no chance probably won't watch your channel again
Y would you even put this on the channel terrible 😢
There’s hunting and then there’s killing and this isn’t hunting
Charlie you will show any content weather it's sporting or not shame on you it's just money for you driven by greed.
This will be giving Bettws Hall and the other commercials a hard-on.
I cant believe you have put this on your channel, sad!
That’s shocking this isn’t the way it should be
Each to their own but British game shooting pisses all over whatever that was. 😂
They don't do that in Germany
Worst episode you’ve ever shown. Disgraceful to the name of game shooting
DISGUSTING.. The Antis will love this .. WHY PUBLICISE IT ????
Sport , hunting my arse 😢

As a long term fan on the channel, this a disappointing. This practice is unethical and a huge disgrace.
