Foggy day at Newhouse

 16th November at Newhouse Estate.

Game Shoot.

Game shoot at the Winchester farm resulted in a fine bag of 24 pheasants. No other game shot but I might of tagged a long range pigeon which disappeared into the woods.
Started with Beachwood Shore drive, drove it backwards this time and it worked a treat so will continue with going opposite to the previous norm. Moved onto the River game strip which has the best game strip that I have seen on the farm and guess what, lots of birds flushed. Sedge beds next which although promises much is too thick to beat without a few more spaniels. Clump of Tree's drive followed with partridge's breaking early but nothing going forward for the guns. Lunch.
Beachwood Pen drive, the big one! Drove it backwards as a tester to see if it worked. It did for some of the guns but we need to revert back to normal as this drive is a banker for all of the guns to get a shot. Last drive was the Railway bank, two birds flushed and I think not hit.

Product Test

Not going into spec detail as that is not my thing, as long as a tool performs and does what it is supposed to do then I am satisfied. I have now had the Eden bino's for a couple of months and have been able to use in low light conditions as of last night as an example. The only let down was the lack of any beasts to focus on but as far as I am concerned when 19.30pm occurred and with the light conditions fading fast I was still able to make out fine details at the other end of the field. Of course the Eden is not going to compare with a Zeiss or other such makes costing £1000 plus but then again what bino's will when under the £400 bracket. I certainly don't have a grand to spend so therefore need an affordable pair of glass's to carry out it's duties to a high degree and the Eden's do just that.

Build quality is excellent, focusing is easy, light gathering good, would I recommend? Yes. 

5 star

This weeks lamping total was 5, 4 to my gun and 1 to Stephen. All five came off two fields, one pair pictured was a left and a right if you call that with rifle shooting. No missed shots this night!
Have attached two pictures showing 3 of the bag.

White Extra's

A few more white birds were added onto the shoot a week or so ago, they help with the tracking of birds plus if any of the guns brings one down then the £50 fine will help towards the shoot funds for next year.
