Pigeon shooting, with Archie Coats and John Batley (VHS copy) 

Thanks for your comment. I also have the pigeon shooting book. Great read.

Yes indeed. I got my copy in the 60's, LOL. Still have it now as no doubt you do. A lot of what he said then, still applies today.

I'm glad you got to meet the legend. Thanks for your comment

It's good to watch the master at work. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for watching. It's an oldie but goody. Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment

He truly was

Yes, a great series. Still on YT

Yup, we were all 30 years younger. Where did it go?

It is great to see the boss again isn't it? Met him a couple of times at the game fair. Glad you enjoyed the video

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Pre internet and Go Pro days -- remember them? LOL

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your comment

Or 3 crowns

Hi, Thanks for your comment. Yes Archie is acknowledged as being the first proffessional pigeon shooter in the UK. He held the record for the most shot in one day (550) for quite a long time. He covered mainly Hampshire but had permission in many other counties. Thanks for the heads up on the Fowler channel. Will certainly have a look.

Hi. I know the ones you mean, but no, I didn't buy them at the time. Wish I had though. Have you contacted Holland and Holland. They may have them archived. Or maybe BASC will have copies.

@@studio12archive60 thanks I have both, was hoping maybe on RU-vid

@@EmpireSafaris Did a search after your question and I can't find them on YT or anywhere else for that matter

@@studio12archive60 thanks, I too searched RU-vid for them.

Hi David. Glad you enjoyed it. It was recorded in 1988

@@studio12archive60 Thanks for the quick reply. Wow! Two years after I was born!

Yes he is still with us and does still shoot pigeon but I think has something to do with the BASC or a similar body, as a consultant

I believe it was a Webley 700 boxlock ejector

@@beverleykeeble2490 I've had a Wembley and Scott 700, the top tang is too long also the trigger tang is elongated, also the shoulders are more pronounced than that of a Webley. Although he did shoot a Webley 700 at times.

@@beverleykeeble2490 correct ! and I believe it may well have been given to him by the Company ??

I thought it looked more like a Dickson round action

@@martinpenticost8323 I think you could well be right.

Me too. Archies book was my bible in the 60's LOL. Glad you enjoyed it.

I had a copy of his book which I passed onto a young enthusiast !

@@aidiess It is still available as well.
