Default First hunt with my NH short 10 ga.

Went goose hunting this morning for the first time since about 1970. I took my 1892 NH 32in 10ga parker that I had only shot one time before at sporting clays. I loaded some ITX BB's in new Cheddite hulls, 1 1/4 oz at 1150 fps. Me and my 2 friends had just set down in the blind when a flock of about 25 came right into our decoy set up. Both friends were shooting 3 1/2 in 12ga auto loaders with Black Cloud shot, one shot 3 times, no bird, the other shot 3 times, 1 bird, I shot twice, 2 birds. We had barely picked up the birds when another flock of 40 or 50 came in, 2 of us shot once and the other shot twice. 3 More birds down which was the limit. Picked up the decoys and out of the field by 8:15am. Very nice morning even though the rain was pretty heavy. It was my first time with no-tox shot but it sure did the job. 3 birds with 3 shots at about 50 yards, what's not to like. Ready to go again. Carvel
