I recently helped my brother n law acquire his first Fox, and an A grade at that. I watched this gun pass through the hands of it's last 4 owners over the past seven years. After watching him shoot it today, I think this Fox has found a permanent home. It's an early 1910, 28" barrels IM/IM. I also shot my A grade, it's a 1912, 26" barrels IC/MOD. The Foxes "Got the game today!"

Good Gawd Chris you fellows must have gazillions of doves out there.:bowdown: I am putting a dove shoot out there on my bucket list in the near future.. After the first couple of weeks of our season here you really have to work hard to bag a limit of 15.

A bucket list experience you won't forget Daryl! My friends / PGCA members will tell you the same. It's only going to get better as the temps cool.

Foxes and doves were made for each other. I currently have 6 Foxes that are fine dove guns. Most of our doves here in GA are mourning, not Eurasian. IMO, mourning doves fly faster than Eurasians, and I have read that whitewings are even faster than mournings. How about it Chris?

I think you're you're right about the Mourning and Eurasions Stan. I don't notice any difference with Mourning and Whitewing. I know the proper lead and follow through will vary with each bird. The Eurasions are tough ol cobs, they require a solid hit or they'll keep flying! I have maybe 6 Foxes I can shoot now. Working on a couple A grade, and very early C grade restorations. I'm a Fox guy first, then comes Parker. Don't tell anyone!!

The Ring Necks definitely fly slower, Chris. Perhaps it's because they seem to be more "people friendly" than the Mourners. It's easy to be shooting Mourners in a "hot corner" and have a Ring Neck fly by, and shoot in front it. Kinda like shooting crows after having shot doves several times. Crows fly slow, too.

Ring Necks eat good, though larger. I can't tell much difference in the taste, just more meat on them.
