Only downside to using steel shot is 95% are still loaded in plastic wads. Hopefully given recent developments most main cartridge manufacturers will move on to biodegradable wads of some form. Good shooting and i enjoyed the craic between you and Sam as always! 😆👍
Thanks for commenting Wayne. Yes I know. We swap the shotkam between numerous guns and it needs calibrating for each one but doesn't get done! We nearly didn't use the clips but in the end decided they added more to the content than they took away.
Really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. You're dead right about steel shells too. It kills very well and at decoying range is mustard. Please do the burger/sausage making video. 👍🐾🐾
Yes, Tide is our old Lab'. When he was just under a year old he injured his front shoulder and was out of action for a couple of months and that's catching up with him this last year. It's not bothering him massively and once he's moving he's fine but he will need to go onto Metacam before this next winter.
Wahey!! The boys are back good to see you. Do you give gifts at xmas just to say thank you for the permissions. I always give a a bottle and a tin of posh biscuits seems to work a treat brings a smile to a farmers face 😂😂😂😂
Thanks Neil. Yes and no.....4000 acres of our ground is our own, we run two Pheasant Shoots and lease in two estates so we have the shooting rights on those. Some of our Pigeon Shooting is over ground where we do some business with the farmer such as buy our wheat so we have a mutually beneficial relationship. Yes, we have a few who we drop something to but I have to admit we didn't do it this last Christmas as Covid has made face to face contact difficult.
Is that shotcam for a few of the shots? It seems way off from where you are shooting compared to where the crosshair is on screen? Loving the videos, great shooting.
Good video, looking to start using steel myself, you showed some steel cartridges at the start but was the ones in the blue cases that you both were using the same loads?
Nowthen Anthony. We had an order for some Steel Shot Pigeons and I think we needed 60 to complete the order. Once we'd shot those with the Hull Steel Game Extra (black case) we changed over to Hull Superfast Pigeon in the blue cases. We would have carried on with steel but we keep a separate freezer for the steel shot birds and those 60 would fill it. Plus we didn't have many steel shells left so didn't want to "waste" them. We have a couple of earlier videos from 2019 (I think) where we used steel all day.
@@RobertGriffinshootingTV 👍 how did you find the steel that you used? I have dabbled with a few different ones and can only get on with 3'' loads 36g 3's but that is too expensive for the pigeons 🤷♂️
@@shootingwithanthony3496 get on with it fine. In season Sam will be out on the shore 3-5 flights a week and I'll do 2-3 + we have 8 ponds and 2 lakes on two estates we lease so we have always used a lot of steel on ducks and geese. I find that "standard" steel needs some adjustment in terms of cutting back on range as energy drops off sharply once yo get beyond 35 yards. However I just use "High Performance" Steel and that is a big improvement in performance. Hull do those Steel shells as "Steel Game" and "Steel Game Extra", the "Extra" are the HP version and I find they are a big step up on the "standard" ones. Hull do those in 28 and 32g and the 28g version are evil little shells....very quick and hard hitting, we have used those a lot on splashes and even decoying Pinks inland.
@@RobertGriffinshootingTV that must be where I have been going wrong I haven't used the extra ones, thats why I found them useless thanks a lot for the help 👍
Thanks for the comment Terry. As I mentioned in an earlier reply it is moved between various guns and we didn't calibrate it to that semi. We knew it was out but we didn't think it made a significant difference. Sam did say it would cause nothing but grief. We did consider not using the footage and we did discard most clips however we decided to retain and use some clips as they added some value to the video.
Great video lads, I see that you shoot from the left shoulder and spent cartridges eject to the right, don't know how you managed to get on with that, fair play and that's why I got rid of my auto!!
Yes Sam shoots off his left shoulder and uses a right handed semi, also uses a right handed 10g pump action on geese. He did have a left handed semi when he was about 9 or 10 but moved nearly straight away to a right hander when he started using 3.5" loads on geese. It's never bothered him, I guess because it's what he's become accustomed to.
Yes fine just very busy at this time of year and so no spare time for videoing and production. We run two Game Shoots so on there 1-2 days a week shooting + a lot of work. A day or two on the marsh and then a bit of pigeon shooting, Sam had 74 yesterday on Oilseed Rape and we are both out today but it's to windy to film.

Yes agree about the wads and hoping we will have a new to market steel load with Bio wad for use in the late summer.
Brilliant.Like the man said.Good crack.Good watch.Good humour.
Cheers, much appreciated.
Hi Robert and Sam , good shooting as always lads
Cheers Connor
Hi Robert. You need to line your cross hair up with you barrel.
Thanks for commenting Wayne. Yes I know. We swap the shotkam between numerous guns and it needs calibrating for each one but doesn't get done! We nearly didn't use the clips but in the end decided they added more to the content than they took away.
@@RobertGriffinshootingTV understand Robert
Great videos. I shoot in Cumbria and the borders. Your accents sound close by, where are you boys from? 👍
Well shot ,some cracking birds and love the usual banter 😂😂
Thanks David.
Are you coming back on UA-cam Rob?
Really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. You're dead right about steel shells too. It kills very well and at decoying range is mustard. Please do the burger/sausage making video. 👍🐾🐾
Thanks Mark. Yes, I'll do that burger/sausage making video when I get a bit of time
Cracking video you 2 what choke were you useing with the steel cartridge please, and take care.
Hello Keith, thanks for watching and commenting. We both use the same chokes all the time, Kicks Hy-Flyer Modified.
Great video. Was your dog limping when picking up

Nice video guys I can only dream of an hundred bird day so well done 👍 keep up the good work
Thanks for watching and commenting. Looks like you get some decent days? 100 birders will come, I'm sure
Thanks for taking a look hope you subscribed
Is that shotcam for a few of the shots? It seems way off from where you are shooting compared to where the crosshair is on screen? Loving the videos, great shooting.
Yes it's a Shotkam. It's normally on my semi and it wasn't re-calibrated when it was put on the over and under.
@@RobertGriffinshootingTV thanks Robert, keep the videos coming, great shooting and some good tips in them aswell.

Great to see you back lads but what was happening with the Shotkam footage. The cross hairs were miles off the pigeons?

@@RobertGriffinshootingTV Sorry Rob missed your earlier reply.
Cracking video guys, great shooting, really enjoyable, how;s Remy these days, Cheers
Thanks Casper. Remy is laid at my feet right now, she was out that day but didn't get any film of her for some reason.
@@RobertGriffinshootingTV Ok mate just glad shes ok, Cheers

So funny how sam gets so angry and stressy when you shoot his birds or he misses lol
Ah but I edit out the bits where it's the other way round!
@@RobertGriffinshootingTV..
Well done lads. Cracking shooting👍what guns you using there rob?
Thanks James. I use a Winchester SX4 and Sam uses an SX3 although he has used his O/U a bit of late as he was having trouble with the Winchester.
Cracking mate. What chokes you using? And when's the next video mate? 👍
A great video as always but I believe I saw Sam with his hand over the end of his barrel again at 7.34 He'll shoot if off one day.
Geoff.
You guys ok no videos for quite a while not like your
