Frizzen field test.

After roasting that frizzen in carbon for a few times I finally got it sparking with a bit more promise.
I quick field test soon had me smiling, especially a left to right 30yd pheasant at speed!

Oh, it looks like things are going your way! I went out this morning and saw not another living thing aside from another hunter. What size shot are you using?

#7 our friend.
Thanks.

Brits, my chart shows that British #7 is equivalent to American #8 with 399 pellets per ounce. Do you know if that is correct?

I can't see that being correct friend as #7 is larger than #7&half!

Congratulations Brit, nicely done! :bow: Can you use lead shot on your pheasants? Looks like the makings of a nice stew or pot pie. robin :wink:

 

[Britsmoothy]

Yes sir, we can use lead shot.

I will do my usual fry with bacon, peppers, black pepper sauce. Maybe a drop of wine.

Sounds like you have a good place to hunt and a good gun also. Any public hunting in the UK?, or is it limited to private land?

It's all private really. Permission is required with exception to some tidal foreshore at low tide.
