I've had this gun, a Lefever Nitro, for about 5-6 yrs now but really didn't think I was capable of using it all that well. So, it was a 'safe queen' mostly, although I'd shot quite a bit of skeet with it over the years.
The last couple years I've been using it more and more for my wild bird hunting. I took a single wild phez with it a year or so ago. But the wild quail where I hunt are earned in terms of miles per bird, at least this year. So, tacking on the additional challenge of a .410 never seemed appealing. Besides, I'm not a particularly good game shot.
But this year bro-in-law and I had been out quite a bit and we've developed a knack for finding birds even on days they seem to have vanished. I've had my fair share of birds in the bag this year and more than my share of shot opportunities. So, I figured it was time to give it a fair shake. It is, after all, all about having a good time. I'm hooked now. Might be another 410 in my future.
