    Have you done a driven pheasant/grouse hunt in the UK or Spain?

    Spot on here. The high incomer that's screaming at you 50 yards up is a brutal target. I've yet to find a tower in my area to practice on. Headed to England Friday and will spend a day at Grimsthorpe Clays Grounds next week working on these driven targets. Unbelievably good fun if you're...

    Have you done a driven pheasant/grouse hunt in the UK or Spain?

    I've run into this on some smaller shoots in Eastern Europe. Many of the birds are presented at ridiculously low levels. Hitting a bird would turn it into a ball of bloody feathers, so guys simply pass

    Have you done a driven pheasant/grouse hunt in the UK or Spain?

    Some of the etiquette doesn't quite make sense to Americans at first glance on paper, but I can assure you, it's all incredibly sportsman-like and challenging with a very solid emphasis on safety, conservation and game meat utilization. As I mentioned, it's very challenging technical...

    Have you done a driven pheasant/grouse hunt in the UK or Spain?

    And being the land of etiquette and tradition, shooting birds lower than about 40 yards is considered very poor form

    Have you done a driven pheasant/grouse hunt in the UK or Spain?

    The gamekeepers and beaters know how to use the terrain to create the high bird scenarios. Some of the hunts in Wales are just incredible/incredibly challenging.

    Have you done a driven pheasant/grouse hunt in the UK or Spain?

    I shoot driven birds regularly in the UK and eastern Europe. While both locations are great fun, shooting in the UK is absolutely the best. One of my best friends lives there so I can shoot with his group. Their traditions surrounding the hunts are fantastic and give the day a real sense of...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Love the FXD but I've got to have a date on my watches so I went standard Pelagos. That's just me though

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    That's a fantastic watch in 39mm or 42mm. Very low profile too, especially on a NATO. One of my favorite international travel watches. Easy to find pre-owned from reputable resellers, which makes them a great deal.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I just returned from working in Europe and of course visiting all of the Rolex shops along the way. Precious metal models seem to be more available and wait times appear to be coming down. Those pieces are well beyond my pay grade, but I was in two locations (Prague and AMS outbound) that had...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    When you lead with calling people who appreciate and enjoy fine watches/Rolex "ego driven idiots", why would you expect any other response, especially with your 7th post on a forum?

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    It means you have no appreciation for finely made watches, their history/relationship to adventure, travel, hunting, motorsport etc and apparently like to go out of your way to offend those who do.
