I'll probably open with a nice, no-name Spanish SxS 410 that I didn't even realize I had. 28" barrels, PG, splinter, DT, nice wood and bluing. No maker's marks on the outside, but I'll check proof marks. I found it while I was looking for another gun. Don't remember where or when I got it, don't think I have ever shot it. Does this mean I have too many guns? Impossible.

I once took a limit of doves at a Summerville, SC shoot with my original Powell 16 ga. percussion m/l. My buddy was using a Pedersoli 12 ga. percussion reproduction. We were the first two shooters off the field with limits, and we were the only two there using muzzleloaders.  Half-cock works pretty good for me when actually hunting. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I plan to use my FAIR Iside .410 opening day (which, by the way, is approximately 10 days, 17 hours, 20 minutes and 51 seconds away ........... approximately). This will be it's second season for me. The Dickinson .410 will get it's fair share of usage, too.

SRH With only 10 days, 17 hours and a few minutes left, and with all the excitement there Stan, just dont go off half cocked. 
Socialism is almost the worst.

In the morning I'll be out with my Husqvarna 103A hammergun.
The afternoon (if needed) will be on a small field located in a stand of timber. This field gives very fast, close shots so the AyA 4/53 with little choke will be the gun of choice.
if the morning shoot goes well, then we'll just have to go to the marsh and try for an evening flight of teal.

(all I could get in this now all non tox State) If it's your first time hunting doves, use Skeet or Improved Cylinder with steel. If you have two barrels, go with Skeet and IC, or maybe Light Modified, depending on how long the shots are.

Thanks Steel shOt has no killing power I'd go up a shot size to #6 shot if legal...better yet find some Bismuth in 7.5. All California needs to do now is figure out a way to make human feces non toxic.
