Another excellent video from an amazing sportsman. Thank you Dave for promoting the shooting sports. The only way that we can save our sport is by getting the youth involved.
Absolutely fabulous Dave your a true ambassador for our sport i remember the 410 so well as a young boy so many happy memories merry Christmas to you and your family and all in our sport
Well dave, another good video! Keep them coming mate. I am going to recomend this to my brother. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. All the best, and I would like to meet you one day in person. I think you are a fantastic person and a asset to our country life. Thanks for all you have done.
Thanks Dave for your brilliant film and I must say I wholeheartedly agree with you that education of the youngsters is the way to go and I especially like the idea of gamekeepers get involved with helping teach you youngsters on the Great British countryside ... keep up the good work...
Hi Dave I'm eleven I live in New Zealand and go to, two pheasant shoots and I love it .A bit different terrain compared to the UK amazing film as allways. I hope you and your family have a Happy merry Christmas. Kalos
Another super day in the field Dave. This video really focused on your moving the gun through the shot as seen in some of the great second barrel solid kills and doubles. Another benefit is that the .410 is so much easier on the shoulder compared to the heavily loaded 12's you normally shoot! Thanks and best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year to you and yours.
Congratulations Dave! This is a great initiative and long may it succeed in rekindling further interest. The .410 is a superb gatekeeper for the young entering this fantastic sport and conservation. Always have fond memories being introduced to shooting with a .410 when knee high to a grasshopper! It's on my shopping list now! Merry Christmas to you and your crew.
Another great vid Dave. Amazing how things go full circle. You start with a 410, build yourself upto a 12 and then back round to a 410. All the best & take care.
Another great film from you Dave. Some fantastic shooting with the browning .410. It is a good idea to offer smaller bag days and put on a day for youngsters. Even include a demonstration how to prepare a pheasant and put on a meal of game so it shows them the ethics of a good shoot and let them taste game. Thanks Dave, looking forward to your film.
Great to see. A few years ago when I was living in England I had a shoot over 4000 acres in Cambridgeshire. There was a syndicate that shot every second Wednesday with days averaging 250 to 350 birds. I started a 410 day for the end of season cock birds, my syndicate were nervous of embarrassment. After the first year it became the most in demand day of the season. My pickers up commented that they had brought extra dogs which were not needed. Birds were either clean missed or killed. A wonderful and surprising day. Keep it up Dave.
Another brilliant video Dave just goes to show how well the little 410 will take birds at a reasonable distance, hope to see more 410 videos in the future keep up the good work and merry Christmas
The shooters of tomorrow are the youth of today. The youth need to be able to have little 410 shoots so they can grow with the sport and as a person. Merry Christmas Dave.
Hi Dave what a great little video for the 410 looked a great fun day out . It would be great to see the kids back in the field .. 👍 p.s wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and by the way Liz bought me Rachel’s new cook book it’s Amazing and the pheasant tortillas were yummy ..😋 keep up the great work you and your team do . All the best Darell 👍
Being a young shot myself well 22 now but still like to class myself as young I respect this video a lot I’ve grown up around shooting from pheasants To wildfowling to stalking down here in Cornwall my first gun was a yeldiz 410 side by side and I still have it 13 years down the line and still use it decoying one the hide and on the odd walk about day we need to really get more videos like this out here as in the last 5 years I personally have seen a major decline in youngsters coming through our club it’s a sad time I just hope to see something change and the modern day youngsters get out from behind the tv Xbox esc and start to follow this amazing sport once again cracking video dave look forward to seeing more and will very keen to get on a small bore day like this cheers Sam
Took the 410 out for a walked up day earlier in the season and it's a very capable cartridge. One cunning bird initially put the dog handler and another person between us until it was about 40 yards out. I was using 3" #4 11/16 oz cartridges and dropped the bird with the second shot at approximately 45 yards. Likely at the limit of the cartridge. You bird section looked spot on in the video. As always the video was excellent and it was great to see you work your magic. Thank you again for your efforts in promoting opportunities for the youth, even the 6'1" six year olds 😉. The folks at Bolton Castle look to be putting on a cracking event. Going to be in for the last week of pheasant and partridge season and stay through the Great British Shooting Show. Hope to see you there.
Really great Vlog. David have really enjoyed your Vlogs, as a new subscriber. It is indeed good for kids to experience the countryside, something as you have said is lacking these days. The idea of keepers going into schools is a great idea, its not just about shooting, its the management of the countryside and wildlife to provide for the future generations.
Hi I am 13 from Uk and I was out shooting today shooting walked up birds with my fabarm side by side 20 bore all 5 of us had a great day and shot 23 pheasant 1 partridge 2 duck and 2 teal and a crow. Keep up the good work and the fantastic shooting
Stuart Wharf. It is a while since I watched you shoot (ABF Day at Raisthorpe) but you just seem to get better!. Excellent film , as always, Brilliant idea to bring the young ones into our sport (and way of country life), Next move must be to entice many well known shooting celebrities to your army and spread the word. Happy New Year, look forward to your next video.
Really enjoyed the film again Dave. The thing with shooting a .410 for me is having the confidence - the pellets are going as fast, there's just a lot less of them! I'd have been very pleased with shooting those birds if I'd have been shooting my 12 bore!
I hunt upland habitat in Northern Minnesota and the 20 gauge has been my choice for decades. That said I do enjoy the even lighter weight 28 gauge and 410 shot guns for a change of pace. From a collectors perspective a quality small gauge gun is a great investment. Recruitment of young shooter's as well as other interested people to shooting and hunting is a important issue. In the face of the ever increasing urbanization happening all over the world traditional sports needs to reach out new shooters as much as possible. Thanks for the video.
I found your channel Dave about three days ago and already i have lost count of how many of your videos I have watched with total enthusiasm. 80% of my shooting is rough shooting which I totally enjoy and the other 20%is driven as I am involved in a mid sized syndicate shoot here in Ireland. It is great to see great ambassadors such as yourself sailing the ship for country sports especially at the moment when the seas are choppy.
Bolt action Webley and Scott....those were the days!! My dad paid an extra 7/6d (about 35p in today's money), for the "De Luxe model"; the only difference from the bog-standard gun was chequering to the "hand" and forend!!
Im sure you’re not making any money with this channel. The filming alone is an expensive affair...certainly for a smaller channel. But you do it nevertheless and I commend you for that. Brilliant videos that really manage to capture the atmosphere, filmed in lovely scenery. You’re the best ambassador the sport could hope for.
Thanks Billie you are quite right in your assessment its all for love of the sport and our glorious countryside, although most estates do provide a free peg on the day and i do get a bit of support off gamebore and one or two other sponsors, Not enough to cover all my costs tho!! i will keep going as long as i can
Well done Dave, bloody excellent film. are you becoming a .410 convert by any chance. Love it myself and for an experienced shotshell reloader the .410 can be very rewarding and very under rated. Well done again all the best and Happy Christmas
Hi Dave. Always been a fan and had the pleasure of meeting you. Just FYI someone has set up a CZcams channel with your name and is copying your videos. Up in Gods own country next week and can’t wait
Sir, Im shooting since 2 months with a 28 bore 30 barrels (as a challenge with friends..) . Result is incredible, and now this italien beauty is my favorite. Most important ,in my opinion is to use good cartridge.. 400 m/s and 25 g in my case. . What do you suggest for 410 ? Congratulations and salutation from France.
In my opinion for a 18 gram load English shot size 6 is Bang on for birds out to 35m . Anything after that is up to the shooters conscience. Good film as usual
Hi Dave - what sort of distance limitations are you putting on yourself when shooting the .410? I'm from Denmark- we cant legally use the .410 for anything but waders (in practice woodcock and snipe) but then again we're limited to steel shot or bismuth.
Hi dave . My name is Bailey and I am a young shot from the North west. I'm shooting at meols hall in the 18th and was wondering whether you could do some shoots round here. Merseyside and Lancashire are great spots 👍👍
I've recently upped my interest in .410, and am enjoying some pigeon shooting around the farms we hunt (my young son is an avid and capable participant!). When patterning vs. game shooting, do you think the pattern plate can be misleading when it is considered how long the shot string is on an 18-19gram load (what we'd call an 11/16oz. 3" load here in Canada) vs. the 14 gram (1/2 oz. 2 1/2") loads? Meaning, the heavier load will logically put a better pattern on a static patterning board, but the shot string is so long a good portion of that pattern will not impact a moving target. With the difficulty in finding .410 ammunition as of late, I've had to grudgingly buy some 2 1/2" 6's rather than 3" and am not seeing any appreciable difference in on game performance. Our quarry is barn pigeons at typical ranges of 15-30 yards.
Hi Baron Great little calibre the 410!! my experience and knowledge with the 410 is not too great as I only did limited testing on a small amount of cartridges available to me at that time!! However I was lucky with the choice given to me - as it turned out the 18grm fibre wad 6 made by Gamebore proved to be upto the job at hand!! For me confidence builds off the pattern plate but ultimately the proof of the pudding is the performance in the field on live quarry!! American home loaders for me are the true experts on small calibre loads like the 410 and the 28gauge the Brits are catching up with the 410 loads as far as home loading is concerned “but” are still way behind the Americans. To answer your question as best I can- yes there’s always going to be variations on the pattern plate and sometimes what you see does not always add up when performing in the field, but the old adage always wins through “confidence” and sticking to the one that works for you👌
@@DaveCarrieShooting - Thanks Dave! Yes, the .410 is a little gem when used correctly. Ours is a fixed full choke. On the pattern board at 25 yards, the extra shot in the 3" load did show advantage over the 2 1/2". But once we got at shooting pigeons with the tiny cartridges I have now gained confidence in them. The pattern diameter of our .410 is of course smaller than the bigger bores so harder to connect with, but the pattern density is effective. As you said, while the numbers and the pattern plate are valuable, confidence is key and after killing several pigeons with authority I've been impressed by the little .410. Thank you for your excellent videos - they make me dream of being there one day. Perhaps if we win the lotto, you may see my son and I at a shoot and we can shake hands. :-)
@@baronofb.5323 hopefully you and your son will realise your dreams and get to experience the wonderful sport available in the UK, and without a doubt it will be a pleasure to shake your hand 👌
Next season I’m going to be guiding youth duck hunts in the delta in my beautiful state of California I can’t agree with you more there needs to be more ways to get kids in to the field I hope my reduced fees will tempt father and son alike to come and out and shoot
Dave, Dave, Dave, I applaud you as always. I know I take the piss, BUT, totally agree with you. Youngsters should learn - their first shot at a sitting pigeon with a 4.10. Then pigeons. If they can, wildfowling with a guide. Learn fieldcraft. A walked up pheasant - just one. A game diary recording shots and those rare kills. Shooting is far more than driven days. Dave, ever shot a pinkfoot goose on the foreshore? I could fix it! But you would have to work out the interception point!! Dave, I am serious.
i think about 2 1/2 to 1 for me i do not know about the rest of the guns, very focused tho to achieve a decent ratio as it was only my 2nd time out with a 410 and the other time was last season - two goes two films
All I shoot is 410 now pick my bird and I shoot more and don't wing birds like with my 20g thinking you can kill everything in sight, , great film buddy one or two of them bit more then 35 yards boy!! Ha.
thanks Edward, i am starting to come round to the little 410, i must admit i did forget that i had a 410 a couple of times!! but i was grateful that i managed to pull a couple of decent birds down
it's that line protect our shooting heritage for years to come gives me chills
Another excellent video from an amazing sportsman. Thank you Dave for promoting the shooting sports. The only way that we can save our sport is by getting the youth involved.
thanks Kelly and of course i totally agree with you, it is a must that we encourage the youngsters even more now
Thank you for the review.nice to see someone show just how capable the .410 is.
No problem 👍
Absolutely fabulous Dave your a true ambassador for our sport i remember the 410 so well as a young boy so many happy memories merry Christmas to you and your family and all in our sport
Thanks Stephen, hope you have a great Christmas
Looks like it was a fun day. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Well dave, another good video!
Keep them coming mate.
I am going to recomend this to my brother.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
All the best, and I would like to meet you one day in person.
I think you are a fantastic person and a asset to our country life.
Thanks for all you have done.
Thanks Jonny and same to you
Just assume shooting Dave!🇺🇸Thanks for the super videos. Enjoy your Holiday.

Thanks David your comments are greatly appreciated
Another great job Dave. You are correct about maintaining focus with the 410 !!
that much concentration needed my brain hurt
Hi Dave I'm eleven I live in New Zealand and go to, two pheasant shoots and I love it .A bit different terrain compared to the UK amazing film as allways. I hope you and your family have a Happy merry Christmas. Kalos
Thanks Kalos and good luck with your shooting in the future, merry xmas to you kind sir
Another top drawer film. And could not agree more about getting the young involved. Merry Christmas.
Cheers Wayne

the 410 does make you concentrate more on your torso position as well as the judgement of speed and distance
Interesting video Dave 👍
thanks Roger
I hunt upland habitat in Northern Minnesota and the 20 gauge has been my choice for decades. That said I do enjoy the even lighter weight 28 gauge and 410 shot guns for a change of pace.

Great video, just got a .410 for some suitable gam days, just a quick question .... what chokes did you have in the browning that day?
1/4 and full

28gauge 21grms cartridge
Hi Dave,
What barrel lengh and what choke do you recommand for a 410 ?
Thank you
mine is 28 inch barrels and chokes are 1/4 and full
full choke I only shoot clays!
Impressive for 18 grams of shot !
Next season I’m going to be guiding youth duck hunts in the delta in my beautiful state of California I can’t agree with you more there needs to be more ways to get kids in to the field I hope my reduced fees will tempt father and son alike to come and out and shoot

Thanks David your comments are always informative and worth a read
What was the kill ratio to shots fired? I'm just curious as I get enough flack the days I use a 20 bore instead of a 12 bore.

@@DaveCarrieShooting Thanks for the reply.
Great video David some great shooting with the 4.10 i am wondering what chokes you used for them
1/4 and full were all browning sent me, but they both did the job
What is your preferred Caliber? I like your videos
12 gauge
All I shoot is 410 now pick my bird and I shoot more and don't wing birds like with my 20g thinking you can kill everything in sight, , great film buddy one or two of them bit more then 35 yards boy!! Ha.
thanks Edward, i am starting to come round to the little 410, i must admit i did forget that i had a 410 a couple of times!! but i was grateful that i managed to pull a couple of decent birds down
They would be good eating birds dave 👍 some good birds shot there to
Thanks Simon

Awesome video as alwayes - just like that kaliber unfortunately it not allowed in DK to hunt anything bigger then pigeon.
thanks Steffen your comments are much appreciated
Am pretty sure lead shot will be banned within 5 years. Not sure 410 has a future
KolyaNick steel shot is available in 410g
did not see one young shooter there
correct Roy but this was short notice and a starter to get things moving, hopefully we will be out with kids next season whilst mams and Dads watch
