1300 shells in a day is just slightly more than 5 flats. Ive been to Argentina twice. Id say Stan was showing a good bit of restraint. My son shot at least twice that many shells one day last time we were there. Thats what happens when dad is paying the shell bill. You hit the nail on the head, Goillini. On both our trips we had 2500 shells provided in the "package". All shells used above that were around $12/box. Restraint is easy when you're paying for them yourself! Bless you for taking your son. I'm sure he will never forget that. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stanly did you not have any remorse for shooting all those doves knowing the meat was all just thrown away ?
Why not just take 1300 rds to a sporting clay range and shoot like a mad man...
I can answer that because them instead of 97.9 % of the people thinking your were crazy the percentage would jump to 99.9%.

Here's some more food for thought in your Ed / Citori bash...
There are many more Browning Citoris owned and being shot than there are Perazzis...
Truth is based on statistics the Perazzi is more prone to shoot loose than a Citori.

Never been there, never done that- but it is my understanding that the "muchachos de los palomas" keep all the birds they have retrieved, and use them to feed their families-- I have no problem with those large daily bags, apparently they are a major problem for the agricultural economy in the Latin American countries- feed on the grain crops the farmers depend on.

Certainly there are many good reasons a beginning shooter should (if they have the resources) start with a Beretta or Browning.
Facts are, people don't stay with it.
Both are easily disposed of.
After that, B1 and B2 don't shoot the same. Different dynamics, different grips.
Go to a club, get some lesons, try them both.
Probably one with an adjustable comb and tubes would be optimal.
If the shooter stays involved, the upgrade path is easiest.
I like the Blazer F16, but hate their stocks, as example.
Out there doing it best I can.

The first one I saw in person (and shot) looked like they forgot to complete the wood finish...not attractive. On the other hand I broke everything I shot with it which got me considering buying one.

The vertical pistol grip kills my wrist by 200 rnds.
The wood is plank grade on purpose.
As a guy that travels, one benefit of B1 or B2 is that a knowledgeable gunsmith with parts is somewhere nearby, nearly world wide.

They are hawking upgraded wood on the F16's now. Most of the "upgrades" look more like "acceptable" grades to me.
