Amen to that Dean

I’m not an expert in sporting clays but did do a lot of partridge hunting years ago.
I would use 9 or 8 in the right barrel and 7-1/2 or 6’s in the left barrel for the longer shots. It worked really well.
It may work on sporting clays as well.

Scattered grouse in NW MA. Personally I haven't had much success but guys I know will put up 6-10 on a given day hunting their special spots which never gets disclosed.

Pheasant hunting in state WMAs is pretty good. Lots of nice areas and for the most part the pheasant wise up quickly and are t pushovers. Some areas with heavy growth support holdovers with some possible breeding and wild born birds. I personally have seen both live roosters and hens as well as fresh remains in late winter and springtime.

Well; its been awhile.....ware did the time go. My sporting clays score have not improved much over my original post. I have not been shooting all that much but will say that my wild bird scores are above average so practice on fast targets do help...a lot! I will be hunting over a new pup this October in the upper peninsula. Sweet Miss Charlie Rae, Feild bred Gordon setter. I have been spending everyday working or running that pup and it's paying off...(-: See pics of my pup learning her craft.

Some pics got lost?

My pics are not loading ...will try later???

Kenny, tell us a little bit about that gun.

The first picture is a CSMC Fox DE special .410 I bought several years ago. The 2nd is my CSMC Fox XE special 16 two-barrel set that I ordered new, I think 2015. Both guns were engraved by Richard Roy.

Thanks Kenny. Beautiful guns.
