Another passion of mine, shooting wood pigeons.

Wood pigeons generally land into the wind and so by arranging the decoys in a "U shape" the base of the U facing the wind, the pigeons will tend to drop in and land in the middle of the U.

A pigeon magnet can draw the pigeons in from miles away. It's quite amazing to watch. You can see little dark specks in the distance coming in the distance and head towards your decoys and magnet.

I find pigeon shooting very exciting. The pigeons can drop in at many speeds and angles, or just fly over to have a look at the decoys. When they see you, or they hear a shot, they often jink and fly away at speed. This makes the shooting highly varied and exciting!
