Thanks Dean. So for roosters, the Skeet Out barrel would be the only one getting much action, although I have had a couple over the years coming right at me. Usually miss that shot but gettem on the "skeet out" about face. I did have a double on a pair of sharptails that came to me like a pair of ducks. Actually did get the first one as a "skeet in" and the second one was an about face and "skeet out" shot. Unfortunately, it was with my Winchester 1200 pump, so no Parker double pin for that. This was back in the late '70's. My long time hunting partner had put the pair up but they were way out of range for him. I was at least a couple hundred yards away and saw the birds leave and then head to me. I was "investigating" an abandoned dirty thirties farm house at the time. First sharpie almost dropped onto the roof and the second was onto the trail that lead in to the house. Now wondering if I can find any pics of that place. It is long gone now but the hedges are still there. Haven't been to that spot for a few years. Maybe next year. Too much snow now to even hope to get back into that spot. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Cheers,
Jack
