Can you explain the gun in the first picture. It makes the Britt design sidelever gun look commonplace .

Pheasants are a bit different than ours around here. No "ring neck". I see birds like that in Canada .

I love pics like that RARiddell. What a great day for him, and you. My youngest grandson killed his first mallard while in the blind with me last Saturday.

Thanks, SRH

I had to resort to somewhat old technology yesterday as I couldn't find my digital scale so I used my 40+ year-old RCBS 1010. Both scales are tag-teaming me, alternately hiding, as I couldn't find the RCBS for two years and then stumbled on it where I put it while unsuccessfully looking for my Lyman digital which I put some place secure after turkey season.
I rolled up some woodcock loads for today. I think we'll finally have some cool, dry weather after temps in the 80s when it wasn't raining cats and dogs and snakes. Using a Manufrance (MF) roll crimper, MF adjustable shot/powder dipper, MF 16 ga. shotshell loading block, and Cheddite paper hulls, I loaded few shells for my 1930's MF Ideal 302 16 ga. No, I don' t celebrate Bastille Day.

Floyd, Sadie, Pop and I had a good day today on the nicest weather day we've had this year. Gil

No pic, but another 15 bird limit on an early morning dove shoot, with the new FAIR Iside Tartaruga Gold .410 S X S. Beautiful morning, and challenging for a .410. Old, mature doves in a blustery, gusty wind. Shot a bit under 50%.

This .410 thing is a sickness. Ten years ago I'd never have believed I would be choosing a .410 to shoot late season doves. You couldn't knock the grin off my face with a baseball bat when I dishrag a big, mature bird with it at 30 yards.

Stan I am glad you had such a great day. Wish I was there with you. The .410 is a bit of an obsession with me as well. But to be honest, if I was stuck with the ammo, powders hulls of just ten years ago I would not be hunting with one even now. I am sure there is a little more performance that they can squeeze out of a .410 but not that much more. The wimpy factory loads back then did not have enough stream to work much past 20 yards. Now 30 is within reason and even 33-35 under decent conditions. I just have the feeling I am at the point in my life that the range will be going down all too soon. Until then Doves beware.
