Crop Protection Over Stubble with a Daystate RedWolf.

Рет қаралды 634,194

2 жыл бұрын

Hi every one, here in the UK the woodpigeon can cause billions of pounds worth of damage to farmers crops year in year out so our laws let us control them 12 months of the year over arable land. Also i am shooting over stubble but there is a standing crop behind me so i am shooting the pigeon in this open field so to get good clean kills with the air rifle also this field will be getting drilled again very soon so i am keeping the numbers down in advance prior to it being drilled . I am using my Daystate Red Wolf FAC .25 Cal using 26 grain Hades pellets doing 52ftlb at the muzzle.
