..... I didn't say the 410 with 9-shot did well, only that all three birds were breakable with same. Comment was intended in humor for some friends who whine every year that the birds can't be broken, are too far out, flight path(s) are funky, we should allow 1-1/2 ounces of shot, "should have brought my Flak 88", etc etc.

This year the #1 target is a high quartering going-away bird - you can see the trap in the second pic, #2 is a nice slow incomer, #3 is a condelle that settles about 35 yards in front of the shooter. No problem gents .....

If a bird is consistently breakable with 9 shot out of any guage shotgun it is not a long range target. Why not be true to the Bo-Whoop legacy of long range shooting and throw targets where the shooter has 55 to 60 yard presentations?
