Crowshooter:
While I detest comparing resumes, I'd say mine trumps yours by about 20 years behind a shotgun. And not just shooting rooks. What's more, I'd call a 50/50 chance of a shit a damn lucky gamble.
A 50-yard+ shot is still a gamble with any reasonablly loaded 2 3/4-inch 12-bore.
Did I say I was shooting 50+ yards at crows with a 12 bore? When I choose to take the tall ones I am generally shooting a short ten.
50/50 chance of a hit on a long range crow is a gamble I'll take any day, it's called fun.
20 years more behind a shotgun, you got me there.
I'll slither back into my hole and enjoy the All-State trap shooting team trophies and the silver stuff that says Champion, Class AA I have in my man cave. I really don't know squat and can't much handle a shotgun I guess.
PS. Thanks for not taking those long shots it leaves more birds for the rest of us
PPS. I really do like 7/8 ounce 8 for 16 yd trap out of a tight Parker DHE. They crush them. I also like to shoot 3/4 ounce 12ga at skeet. They work great but load slower as I have to use a cheerio as a filler in the AA grey wad. LIght loads are great but big loads and magnums have their place, especially with steel shot (for those that have some modest ability).
