Those are beautiful boxes, Destry. How about a picture of the Swamp Angel?

Did you stop in at the Wild Hare Cafe? (If it’s still there?)

The 3 1/4 - 1 1/4 load is the Gold Standard, in my humble opinion.
I used to shoot box birds once a week, and did so for quite a few years. Estimated 40,000+ birds over my "career". My go-to load was the Federal Flyer, or Gold Medal in the above settings, only with #8 shot. Towards the end of my active pigeon days I switched to an 1 1/8th oz, and never saw any measurable difference. Shot a 29 x 30 at Eversull's for the championship with that load. Calcutta Day, BTW. Tight chokes rule! |

Also quite possibly the finest load ever for decoying ducks before the insanity of the steel shot mandate for waterfowl hunting. |

I shot quite well at times, though was a somewhat sporadic winner.
Win a few, lose a few. This one was my most memorable win of my career. This was on Calcutta day, where a 28 got me into a 6 way shoot-off The club manager saved the score sheet for the shoot-off, and had it set in this frame. Some might recognize a couple of the names. AZ Flyers Shootoff.jpg |
