I used to do the same, but I just can't make myself shoot steel in a Parker even if it's small size. I normally don't use anything over a #5 over decoys so usually have pretty decent luck on cripples.

I dunno. No one has ever been able to confirm to me a barrel bulge occuring as a result of any steel shot of size 5 or smaller. Can anyone verify an incident?

The sound of crickets again.

Destry,

Congratulations on taking off allthat weight; that is a major accomplishment. Hopefully it adds quality to your life and made it easier to chase that duck.

Did someone mention coots?!.... I guess I'll keep THAT story under wraps for now...:whistle:

you know destre that losing all that weight will cause them big guns to really kick..i may have to trade you a 410 or 20 to shoot them ducks with...you also get out of cleaning so many ducks using a 410....ha my congratulations on losing the weight i know how hard it is to push the plate back... keep after them ducks..... charlie

Destry my congrats on the weight loss. Perhaps you'll be up for some upland bird hunting...I'll even lend you a 20ga Parker:p
