Can you prove that first statement? I have a copy of Cyril Adams's excellent book, Live Pigeon Trap Shooting which I read a few years ago. Before I dig it out and reread the chapter on guns I'd like to hear why you think that.

I'd also really like to hear what Paul Melton would have to say about that. He is the most prolific pigeon shooter I am aware of, and has been successful at it for a long time.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
