As for the chokes in the gun - quarter, half
-
Good question, many people, generally swing to fast and rush to a stop because of it. I prefer a smooth controlled swing, with good use of the body and front hand, but there are times when one should just get on with it.

Hi mike should the gun swing be fast or slow?
-
What Franz-Albrecht Öttingen-Spielberg ist with his Sauer 202, seems Mike with this great new Browning! :-)
-
What choke were you using?
-
I really liked the gun in 30" sporter form especially
-
Great Video. I have only read about these hunts in magazine articles. I would love to go someday. Great shooting Mike. I think I need to check out one of those Browning 725s.

Love the enthusiasm of the Hungarian beaters - they sound like football fans
-
Wow, what can you say to that!
Excellent work Mike; a real delight and I'm very grateful you've shared it with us. The smile on your face says it all.

Mike - superb shooting (though I thought I saw you miss one!!!). Nige
We are now planning the first comparison test for Positive Shooting TV - we will be comparing the Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 to the Browning 525 if all goes to plan. A detailed test of the 725 will follow soon, both in magazine and video form.

Thanks for the kind comment and the criticism. Any large Continental battue will present a mixture of shots. I passed on some. A 50 or 60 yarder on the quarter isn't easy. The standard was generally good. It's hard to call sometimes. The camera can deceive, one bird which looks close on film was a perfectly sporting shot on peg. But, my goodness it was a great day!

A very fair response, I think the truth is that I was just having such a great time! - Happy New Year. ps. Let me know how you get on with the head-cam.

Closing the gun behind the line (5.45) is a deliberate and specific safety technique so that the gun does not need to be raised through the beating line when they are close

I want to make clear that I do not shoot this number of birds everyday - but this was a beautfully organised shoot in which the game was not only respected, but immediately put in the food chain to be enjoyed at many happy meals. Technically, driven shooting of this sort offers a very signficant challenge to the serious wing shot.
