Default Christmas Hill Pheasents

Took the Parker DH 12 gauge 32” to Christmas Hill today for a Pheasent shoot . I was shooting some 80’s vintage WIN field loads holding 1 1/8 ounce of #6’s . Someone brought a flat of them in to sell so I got them for about $7 a box . Anyway that gun with those shells made me look semi decent . I think with the first eight shots I killed 8 pheasents . By my calculations I think I got 17 or 18 birds with 37 shots not perfect by a long shot , but I’m good with it . This long barreled tight choked gun works for me or atleast it did today .

On a side note that DH arrived at the shop this past Monday . I took to the club this past tuesday patterned it at 40+ yards with the same shells I shot today . Then shot two rounds of 5-stand and a round or trap . So as of today I’ve fired the gun less than 125 times . Was a little unusual using a gun with no safety but most of the time I’m standing with the gun cracked open even if it has a safety .
