I once loaded for a friend Nick Buchanan on Greystoke,one drive which followed the old road route,he gave me his Powell and told me to have a go, memorable day out.
Superb video in a beautifully classic locale. Well done with the little gun; that last drive in the tall trees was great to watch with some outstanding hits on really well presented and shootable birds. Thanks for this one, keep up the excellent work Dave.......can't wait for the shooting season to begin over here. Best regards as always, Ed.
Some excellent shooting Dave, I've been lucky enough to have had 3 walked up days at Greystoke & had snow underfoot on 2 of those days, great mixed bags of Pheasant, Partridge, Woodcock, Duck & Snipe. Lovely setting & great keepers.
As one of the best game shots in the UK, it would be really useful if you could sometimes attach a ShotKam to your guns so lesser mortals could get a better appreciation of your undoubted successful technique!
i much prefer seeing shot string on the slow mo and the movement on the pheasant for accuracy, dots in front of a bird doesn't help to judge speed or distance - time in the field is most important! but i also understand that not everyone can afford time in the field, i might try one on some extreme birds in the future.👍👍
@@DaveCarrieShooting Thank you for your reply. I have watched a lot of your videos, and am always intrigued by your style of shooting, which is obviously very effective. It appears on your videos that you swing through the bird at a steady speed, then at the last second seem to 'fling' the gun in advance of the bird! With a ShotKam I thought it might give a better view of what you are actually doing. It may be that in fact you are not really aware of what you are doing, a purely instinctive exceptional skill!
@@christopherhindle1174 Hi Chris,Many People have observed this last split second movement it’s the same on clays! I don’t realise I’m doing it!! But obviously it’s a final natural instinctive trait that I possess! Often think it could be something to do with only having one eye and the brain compensating in a beneficial manner for target recognition/zoning🤷♂️I don’t know why I do it 🤔
@@DaveCarrieShooting Thank you again for replying. Very interesting, and you seem to have a unique talent and brain/sight/ hand coordination that enables you to shoot so well. As someone who struggles with a left master eye and shoots off the right shoulder, I am especially interested, thus my suggestion for the ShotKam to try and better understand how you do it!
Very nice shooting in a great venue! My only concern with the .410 is that shooters who are undisciplined with respect to the range of the .410 wound a lot of birds.
Interesting comment regarding the chokes, you found little difference in pattern between 1/4 and full - have you any idea why that should be? My son uses a 410 amazing what it’ll bring down, great fun to shoot.
Hi Duncan i would think size of bore the 410 will be tight enough even with no choke at all, i patterned the 410 and the 18grm 6s soon as i got chance and could only compare it with the difference between a 3/4 choke against a full choke in the 12 gauge which is always minimal.
The craze for shooting high pheasants, or number’s of the bag will end pheasant shooting David. You excel at what you do , no doubt about it, and in the 30+ years I have spent on shoots, I have been privileged to see a few guns that could really ,and consistently hit the high birds. But the trend of shooting high birds has gone to far, on some shoots the birds are out of reach of most guns who just don’t put the effort in to marksmanship but book the day anyway. When you pickup, and you kill more birds than the gun who shot them, finishing the birds off that are wounded .😔 there’s something wrong.😔 When you hear, I hit that one , from a gun, ? That only counts when shooting clay pigeons. Not for the pheasant who if he doesn’t get picked up and spends a week limping around before the next shoot . Wishing you all the best David 👍 Can you please promote shooting practice in the close season, many shoots do simulated pheasant days
I hear what you’re saying Shaun and totally agree with every word!! Although I support quality with killable high birds ! I too have seen an undeniable trend in putting birds out of range “this I do not agree with” I also see more and more average shots having a go at birds way above their skill with a gun, I intend to speak up about this in my films and try and put things in perspective. Thanks for your engagement it needed saying and you couldn’t have put it any better 👍👏
I think there’s a lot of new people coming in to shooting, probably for the wrong reasons , 🤔like they see Pheasant shooting as a status symbol so they buy a Range Rover and some funny socks and jet off to the country side to shoot pheasants. Not really interested in shooting they don’t put the effort in by practicing. Just something to brag about at the office or dinner party I guess 🙄 .. The very nature of game shooting is supposed to be challenging , but a lot of the guns are just so bad they can’t even hit the low ones . Simulated game shooting in the close season is the way to go, but I am not sure these new shooters will be interested in doing it. Keep posting 👍
PS The film Tarzan of "Greystoke " Fiction from the book Legend ! Filmed at other stately homes in UK and in Africa Gabon and the South Cameroon Rain Forest In same place all around jungle that i was told were i was hunting Bongo , Dwarf buffalo , Giant Forest hog , and Duikers etc with the Pygmies ! a HARD HUNT ! Place to Remember ! And shot with LEAD based bullets !
So with the NON toxic Lead free shot becoming LAW so all game to be shot with Steel or Bismuth etc , how do we stand with .410 Cartridges ? i use my .410 for Rats and Squirrels etc and my 12 bores for Game , Clays Etc only With " Steel "of Course ! YEA !
I think the second shot lessend the chance of a runner .I think if dave pointed his finger at one it would roll up and hit the ground.looks a cracking day as always. Keep them coming.cheers.
Been missing these videos !! Great to have a new one. Fantastic shooting as always !!
Thanks and hopefully now i am fighting fit again we will get plenty more done
Awesome video Mr. Carrie! Thank you very much for sharing and as always all the best from Austria 🇦🇹👍👌
Thank You and you are always welcome👍👍
Another great video Dave Hitting Pheasants with that 410 had to be a little challenging
Hi Greg
it is quite challenging but i really enjoy shooting with the 410, i've gone from non believer to a preacher overnite😂😂
From France, always a big pleasure To see your vidéo 👍
thank you my friend👍👍
Nice shoot Dave thanks for sharing ur masterpiece hunt ❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks Ahmed👍👍
Hy Dave
It was a nice shoot
Nice demonstration
And most of all I learnt something from you , will use your way in my upcoming dove season ♥️♥️👍👍👍
I once loaded for a friend Nick Buchanan on Greystoke,one drive which followed the old road route,he gave me his Powell and told me to have a go, memorable day out.
Excellent as always. Thank you!
thank you my friend👌👌
The four ten bore shot well for you Dave. Love to watch your videos such a excellent job of filming.

Thanks Ed - the 410 as become one of my favorite little calibres👌👌

Great shooting Dave never underestimate the little 410 . Miss your videos hope all is well with you
Best demonstration as always
Thanks
As normal great place fantastic shooting Dave and team nice very nice
18 grams of 6's in the right place works very well! Excellent stuff as ever Dave!
yes quite right John! some preferred 5s but i prefer pattern at this range as i know number 6 will kill anything at 40 yd
Hello Dave, some very nice shooting with the 410 .
Brilliant again Dave 👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers Andy
Hi Dave
Hope you’re well that looked one epic day sensational backdrop 👌👍
fine ! Thanks buddy - was a great day out and these small bore days are quite a challenge👌👌
As one of the best game shots in the UK, it would be really useful if you could sometimes attach a ShotKam to your guns so lesser mortals could get a better appreciation of your undoubted successful technique!
I was thinking the same 👍

Muy excelentes lances de cazerias amigos saludos
Very nice shooting in a great venue! My only concern with the .410 is that shooters who are undisciplined with respect to the range of the .410 wound a lot of birds.
At age 74, I shoot only .410, a Fausti sxs with double triggers.
fantastic Don👍👍
Nice film
thanks👍👍

No, we must play the game by the rules. We're not poachers.

You pick some tricky birds in woods 🫡🫡🫡
Thank you👌👌
2 shots most kills, expensive
some people might need 4 shots 👍👍
I think the second shot lessend the chance of a runner .I think if dave pointed his finger at one it would roll up and hit the ground.looks a cracking day as always. Keep them coming.cheers.
