Default Dove opener

We opened the season here yesterday morning by shooting a sunflower field. This is the first time GA has allowed shooting before 12 noon on opening day in many years. We were greeted with a temp of 55 degrees at first light!! What a contrast to the usual afternoon temps in the high 90s or even triple digits.

It wasn't a barn burner but we enjoyed ourselves much. As per usual I opened the season with a .410, this time with my 30" barreled Dickinson. This gun is a "giant slayer" with W-W 3/4 oz. loads of 8 1/2s. Chokes are .008" and .008" (something I may mess with )



Going again tomorrow afternoon to a different field, with a .410 in hand again.
