Wednesday was pretty decent weather-wise and my gang got out to shoot clays for the first time since last year. 20 degrees early on and about 40 when we left. We had 8 shooters in our group = 6 with competition clays guns, one Baker hammer gun, and I shot one of my Winchester M-12 Heavy Duck guns - this one an earlier solid rib 32-incher. I'd dug her out of the safe for ducks a couple of weeks ago but it's been way too cold and iced in, and our quacker season ends tomorrow. These HD's have a sighting plane that's almost 3" longer than a side by side with the same length barrels. Way cool for those tall ones and long crossers over the water but maybe not so good with that Full choke and on a mixed range clays course? Anyway, it must have been a lucky day; this one ended up only 2 ex 100 birds less than our squad's top shooter on Wednesday.
