Bloody Pedretti!

[Smellydog]

At 80 shots I'd only missed 4 birds!
Unusual for me but even more unusual was by shot #60 I was having to hold onto the Hush power mod because it was eager to depart with each shot!!!
Then at shot #80 I started missing shots due to the heat and dehydration, I was shooting by a concrete wall baked hot and radiating it at me.
Also by then I was getting misfires and by shot #100 the gun refused to shoot any more!
I packed annoyed as birds were still coming in and I still had 50 cartridges.
I'd killed 90 birds.

As I packed I phoned my local to see if he had any other hush powers and he did. So I went and told him to scrap the Pedretti and borrowed a Baikal version to test but it needed it's bead indexing properly so my granddaughter and I set to fixing that and now it's ready for action on Sunday.
These shotguns are handy in noise sensitive areas but I wasn't expecting it to fall apart!
I wish I had took a photo of it broken now...

Well done that man Thats impressive shooting.

I always think about having a hushpower but most of the farms I shoot dont care about the noise or the neighbours.

I shoot crows and pigeons next door sometimes and when I asked the farmer to warn the non native residents he said "they live in the countryside so should know what to expect" He did warn them which was good
