Praiseworthy accomplishment indeed, Stan..... I don't know if it will make me break out my 30" .410 for a try at doves before it expires next week......

The casual September Dove gunner will usually find his comeuppance when he gets his first exposure to a wind blown field of big, wary, well experienced late season Mourners.... Two different games....
I had my hands full yesterday on similar quarry , and was shooting a 32" 20 bore with LOTS of choke...I don't know if time , and or enough opportunities inside 30 yards would have gotten me a .410 limit even if I was performing at your level.....Nice job....
