I have shot a lot of release birds with my 28ga VHE and 3/4 oz's of B & P # 7's , the advice to keep the shots undr 25 yards and shoot for the head is sound

While I have no factual date to back this up, here's some opinions from a group of old Kansas boys who have shot nothing but wild pheasants for 40 years or so: 1) #6 shot patterns better than #5, 2) 1-1/4oz in a 12 gauge is preferred, 3) one of us prefers 1oz of 6's in a 16 gauge, but I won't say who .

I shoot, all my "stocked" phez with 7/8ths oz of 7's in a 12 ga ,at 1100 fps and with open choke from .010 to .000. kills them dead out to 30 yds if I hit them. scott
