Pigeon shooting continues to grow in popularity as more and more sporting shooters realise the supreme tests of field craft and marksmanship that the bird can offer. For newcomers to the sport, as well as those shooters looking for hints and tips that will give them an edge in field.

For the majority of pigeon shooters, consistent winter sport means tackling the challenges of the winter crops - and if there is one crop that counts it is oil seed rape. Widely grown across the UK, it sustains the pigeon population when little else is available.

With a truly comprehensive and illustrated range of tips and techniques to tackle oil seed rape, the video also covers the opportunities that early drilled cereals present as winter turns to spring.
