Go-to gun

[Tom Flanigan]

Good story. But what I am dealing with in thick grouse cover is the law of averages. This tells me that the more shot you get in the air, the better the chance of some getting through to point of aim. That was an unfortunate incident, but I highly doubt any of those pellets hit any obstruction. They pellets that hit the hunter obviously found a hole in the cover to travel that far.

I tried some #10 shot once. I didn't care for it in the grouse/ woodcock coverts as it just didn't penetrate and caused cripples. It was wonderful on quail however where the shots tended to be more open.
