- Jason Doyle has a day with the Castle Fieldsports syndicate in Co Offaly, where guns, beaters, pickers-up and even the pheasants muck in to make a great driven day. He is trying out his new Rizzini - and the plan comes together. That's not all. Jason also completes his PRS series by taking a look at the equipment he uses, including Bergara B14 HMR rifle, Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50 scope on a Warne Skyline mount, and Hornady Match ammunition.

Why shoot game birds?
Game is wild, natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It is low in cholesterol and high in protein. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Both pheasant and partridge contain high levels of iron, protein, vitamin B(6) and selenium, which helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to the nutritional benefits of game, game shooting is worth £2 billion annually to the rural economy and supports 74,000 jobs. There are 480,000 (UK government figures) active game shooters in the UK who enjoy bird shooting under the principles of the Code of Good Shooting Practice.
More than 2 million hectares are actively managed for shooting in the UK creating proven (PACEC, 2014) conservation benefits and preserving important habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna, in particular farmland birds. UK shooting providers spend £5.4 million on cover crop seeds every year and maintain over 25,000ha of wild-bird cover.
We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:
▶ Shoot responsibly
▶ Respect the quarry
▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill

Great to see Liam Keneghan taking part. Looking well Liam, great show as usual.
Another good show Jason delighted you're happy with your days shooting in Birr it was a pleasure having you with us for the day. Hopefully you will come back to us soon for another great day of shooting
Bryan Hynes it was such a fun day out! Hope this film did it justice
100% Jason could not have asked for a better review
Great video, and some fine shooting as well!
That pheasant shoot looked a cracking day out..
The Somerset Hunters it was a lot of fun. Proper piss taking all day!
@@jasondoyle6061 oh we find that sort of thing very uncouth...
@@thesomersethunters8405 who cares
Great show again... keep up the good work..👍
Another cracking video from field sport Ireland had a cracking yeah watching your videos. I am looking forward to next year all the best to you Jason from North Wales 🏴
Mark Catherall 84 thank you Mark!
Excellent shotkam footage . Great shoot too!
The shoot looked excellent. 👍 Ain't far from me at all, but have never been on it
Beautiful guns,..especially that bolt action Bergara, with the Bushnell Forge. A lot of folks don't give these new Bushnell enough credit. I have a new Bushnell Prime 3.5-10x36 mounted on my
Anschutz .22 repeater, and it's a great scope too.
Another interesting video Jason, Thanks for this, and all your videos in 2019, I look forward to more enjoyable and informative video productions in 2020.
So,..I wish you and all there at Fieldsports Ireland Channel, the best of good health and happiness in 2020,..Happy New Year.
Reg Sparkes thank you Reg! Looking forward to more of your comments in 2020!
Great shooting Jason well done
You're the man Jason Doyle.

Top class as per usual.
Another great episode... :-)
Once again Jason great show and as always very informative.
red stag thank you!
great show , keep it up .
Great shooting. It didn't take you long to start hitting with the new gun well done.
wayne carberry thanks Wayne
Brillant show
The Hornady ELDM in 6.5 Creedmoor is fine to use for Fallow and anything smaller than Fallow. It does the damage really well. It would probably work well on a red deer if it was a good broadside shot but, it is a pretty flimsy bullet construction even though it has the big hollow point behind the ballistic tip, its still a thin jacketed bullet. I found no difference in accuracy between the ELDX and ELDM myself so I shoot mostly ELDX. I don't shoot past 400m though so maybe the ELDM do better at the longer ranges. Thanks for the great show.
HerrGesetz thank you for all that info! Great to hear your experience
You need to realise that the eldm is a match bullet just like scenar for example. The hollowpoint is there for construction purposes, not terminal performance. They have not been tested for terminal performance since the manufacturers only concern is to get the bullet to the target, they dont care what happens to it after it hits its mark. I use scenars for birds and they work wonders. Would be careful on using match bullets on bigger game, since the bullet will definately shatter into a million pieces if you strike bone and will not kill the animal especially in a soulderblade hit.
@@tiputipu777 True. Never used scenar before. 6.5 Creedmoor ELDM does kill medium game really well, if your PRS rifle is zeroed with ELDM you can take it straight out and use it on the smaller deer species. I have tested it on Fallow and it kills with devastating effect, just a mushy mess inside. As I said though I don't buy ELDM anymore because factory loaded ELDX is just as accurate so does both roles.
Good stuff
Best New Year wishes 2u and your families. from Malta
lmaooo, what a shit year it has been
I’m not paying the bounty.
Well done sir.
F**k off.
Quality.
07:50. A very well mannered spaniel.
Jason this series is a nice reflection of Ireland.
Would love to see a bit more of rough shooting over spaniels and setter/pointers.
Also a bit of a Q and A with different gun clubs around Ireland.
Great show.
82dicky thank you. Yes we are planning more rough shooting stuff and more gun club pieces
First class video Jason. Nollaig chridheil agus bliadhna mhath Ùr dhuit from the Outer Hebrides.
Peadar Smith Nollaig Shona Duit!
Nice new potato fun Jason 😂 another really enjoyable watch hope you had a good Christmas
Brilliant Jason would love to see you do a wildfowling video on the Irish ☘️ foreshore 👍👍
G 78 it’s on the list! Just trying to find a suitable spot
Jason Doyle Thanks Jason I look forward to it thanks for posting another great video 👍👍
Hi,great show as always. Really enjoyed the prs series, could you provide a bit of info on the shooting bags you used and where to buy them? Cheers
3 skins yes sir lookup www.practicalprecisionuk.com/
Really good video. I like the way you really seem to enjoy your shooting.
I know you get to try all sorts of guns but I seem to remember a magazine article where you went to have your own shotgun fitted. Can you just remind me what shotgun you had fitted?
Simon Bennett it was a perazzi mx2000s I bought second hand and had a stock made. Still have it!
It's a shotgun ,doesn't matter if it's a rizzini or a baikel
Ill take the Rizzini
Very true rem not exactly difficult shooting. Prefer roost shooting pigeons
Looks like you were fireing under the birds
Can you own a triple barrel shotgun in the republic? Also a 3 shot pump/semi? I want to import some of my guns from the UK
👍
Are they God for anything like rough shooting and what cartridge would u recormend for high pheasant because I'm not used to shooting I'm only use to going out beatin
Owen Laycock yes these are perfect for high pheasant. Maybe a bigger pellet would be needed for extreme birds. I usually use 32g 6 or 5 for rough shooting as I use a light gun for walk up and don’t like heavy cartridges through it.
You shoot one eye closed?
Will you get the rizzini fitted to you Jason? Maybe a wee feature on gunfit in 2020? Really enjoy the show 👍
Mark Butler yes Mark I’m really considering a trip out to the factory to have a gun fitted if funds allow. Have a wedding to pay for next year so that’s priority at the moment but would love to have a gun built
Good man! Why not combine the two?
Now there’s a plan!
love your channel ,,,,but the hat COM ON lol
How much was the scope
Craig Kavanagh €1250
My goodness Mr Doyle. 35gram 5 shot!!! What on earth do you want with that load on birds like you were shooting at?. 28 grm 6 should have done fine.
raybede I only used them on the one drive I was back gun in case there were some long crossers or stuff at range that had been pricked by the front line. Always like to have more than enough cartridge in those situations. I was on 30g 6’s the rest of the day
@@jasondoyle6061 It wasn't a criticism Jason but a bit of fun. I use a 20 bore and can get a bit nerdy about loads!! Thank you for your great and much enjoyed bids.
That’s cool thanks for the comment! Always good to have a bit of interaction. 💪🏼💪🏼
Is there no chance of some fox hunting with hounds in ireland on the channel since its legal there ?
1998 98 we discussed it last year but it’s very difficult to film on our budget, Will defo try get something done next winter
@@jasondoyle6061 it would be a good watch if it could be done 👍 somthing england lacks is fox control with dogs from hounds to terrierwork. It would be somthing different for the channel
Definately be inerested in this . Foxes flushed to guns with hounds .There is an old irish video of this .
@@shanebrennan488 yes or even terrierwork abit . Just to mix the channel up abit and show some different fieldsport other than guns which seem to be the main focus of the channel. Would be nice to see a mix like there was a few year back when they added abit ferreting
Its beautiful handling until you put the ShotKam 2018 on then its barrel heavy and you get to replay all your misses and understand that the balance isn't there anymore lol!
If you feel that the ShotKam has unbalanced your shotgun, I’d suggest that your weapon was already in that condition prior to the shotkam’s addition
mchughcb I find the shotkam doesn’t make a massive amount of difference. Once you’re used to it you forget it’s there. Really handy for finding where you are with a gun
@@tomlagatol4448 Well you can suggest it. But put one on a 2.8kg Beretta Silver Pigeon 20G or a 2.8kg W&S 2020K 20G and give me your response here.
@@jasondoyle6061 You'll be right. I've used them for many years but you'll notice it when you take it off. Also if you are shooting wet conditions make sure you take it off occasionally and wipe the barrel down otherwise you'll get a bit of rust. When I set mine up, try and get the camera sync with bead at least 50 yards. If you do it at 25 yards, anything plus 50 will look like you are shooting a foot high because of the angle from the bottom. Looked like a great day out.
mchughcb, 5 ounces on a 6+ pound shotgun and supported by a front arm likely not 12 inches from the ShotKamPro does not sound like any kind of reasonable imposition of weight

What do Irish folk mean by "the crack" ? Assuming there's no real crack on their driven shoots.
The Craic. The word is Irish (Gaelic) It's a magical word. Originally it means fun or enjoyment but can also be used in other ways. So there you go, thats the craic in a nutshell!
@@Dreancaidi Thanks. Makes perfect sense then. So a shoot without good Craic would be a bunch of winging poms with more money than they have good cheer and nothing to say on a shoot except complain about the weather? I'm a few generations removed from my partly English ancestry so I can safely get away with a jab at them now.
When the craic is mighty, savage or deadly the craic is 90. The weather goes out the window at that stage...
@@Dreancaidi You cracked that one Ronan well done.
I go on several pheasant shoots in north Wales as a beater where the birds are a lot lot higher than the ones you are shooting, and the people who shoot on our grounds are proper shooters who don't use red dot on there barrels, take them off and use your own skill and you will be well pleased when you do shoot a proper high driven bird, your video did not impress me or my fellow beaters at all.
Graham Whitley I also shoot on estates that have much higher birds but variety is the spice of life and I enjoy these lowland forestry shoots as well. Not everywhere has the terrain of North Wales. I think you misunderstand how the ShotKam works, it’s just a camera, the red dot isn’t visible to the shooter.
What shoots do you and your unimpressed fellow beaters beat on? If I get the chance I’ll make sure to try and get to one of them to see how I get on.
Graham Whitley you are an absolute tool. Those birds through the trees are good sporting birds and you obviously know nothing about shotgun shooting if you thought that was a red dot laser(or if it had been an advantage).
Pretty embarrassing the length you went to make a fool of yourself
Are you thick? He wasn't using a red dot sight you numpty, it's a camera on the bottom barrel that you can use to review your shooting (or in this case, to allow us, the audience, to get a better view of what he's shooting) after you're done for the day.
