Flying turnips are fine with woodcock. Gil

I have came to the same conclusion as Mark. I have thinned the herd to 6 sixteens, actually 7. I do have an old Brno ZP for the rain and only 3 12s.

Prefer the German and Belgium stuff.

Very well said Doug. I enjoy all the above you state and I have learned a lot from the members who post on the forum. In many many cases they have been patient with answering my questions and helping me out. BillK

I'm presently at four 16's and two 12's and holding. (3 SxS's, 2 OU's, and 1 auto)

I've been shooting my Sauer Model 8, built in 1911, for 71 years and have a few domestic doubles in my klunker collection. Joined the 16ga Society 8-10 years ago. Looks like they are now defunct and see memberships are closed. Never did hear from them after I joined. Can't hunt any more (can't see my big wirehair much less flying doves!) and have a lot of 16 ga paper and plastic empties if anyone needs them. Also reloading dies and lots of reloads, all an ounce of 8's in Federal plastic hulls.

Unfortunately, Doug Oliver, the founder of the 16ga Society, died in 2014 and the Society has been in limbo since. That might explain why you didn�t get a response after you joined. The 16ga forum, however, remains active thanks to skeettx and others.
