Default OU or SxS?
I'm sure we're going with SxS for the opener, but the OUs shot pretty well today. Started with my VH12, 1 1/2 and finished up with a Browning 20.
Dale started out with his Webley Scott 28, and finished with his Kimber 20. A bit slower today, but still a great time. We'll go with 410 and 28 for the opener. Need to start loading.

Chris, AZ

Few years back I’d go out on the dove opener with a Superposed 12 skeet and a Westley Richards 12 BL also very open and switch back and forth . I never had an issue .

Thx Bill, it's a wonderful shooter. 1st year 20. I have another 4th year solid rib 20 that's in wonderful condition.

Garry, Opening Day means Mourning and White wing at the crack of dawn! Then take a break, sip coffee and start on the Eurasion! Here in AZ we can usually limit in 1/2 hr.
Bill, I think my Browning is #142? I'm not near it now.
