Didn't Miss a Shot

Harry Collins · 11-27-2010, 10:34 AM

Went to a 7:30 dove hunt this morning and it was a balmy 28 F. I was shooting the DH 10 gauge with 1 1/4 oz of 7 1/2 shot. I had a going away shot that twisted me into the ground and I took the bird at about 50 yards. I was so bundled up I could barely get the gun to my shoulder. As I paced the 65 steps to the bird the cows became interested. I thought they liked me, but they only wanted some feed. I had some #5 NiceShot loaded up "just in case" and when the geese circled they were just out of range for a head shot. Anyway I finished off with one bird for one shell. Perfect!

James, can you tell us something about your 24" rifled CHE? Is this an original Parker barrel set?
