Dave , I shot frickin skeet and trap enough years that I keep averages on anything I shoot at !

So regardless of gauge etc I'll never be satisfied unless I hit every time I shoot !

I remember an article I read in Outdoor Life many years ago . Jim Carmichal was shooting dove in Texas somewhere with a Winchester 42 and he was able to get his 12 bird limit with 25 shots , that has impressed me to this day . So I would say you did better then me as I think ANY birds with a 410 are great !

You know the fellow I bought that Parker from told me after I got it that he never could shoot it that well . He also had a circa 1951 20 gauge Superposed which I also own now , he claimed he did better with the O/U . However you look at it I can do equally bad or good with either .

I've known that little 20 gauge Parker my entire life and have wanted it for about 40 years , I finally got it and I will learn to shoot it well regardless of the fact that it's M&F !
