My mentor, Louis Goland, would say to me when I was learning to shoot"a yank & a bang, you missed because you were not on it"----who knows what I was shooting an oz, 1 1/8, 1 1/4 or 20 oz's, other than.----I MISSED!!!
I finally came to the conclusion , if the target did not have feathers, I could not hit it !!! That is my story & I am sticking to it. I never shot a 25, but I shot a ton of 24's. Allan |

Why do I shoot 1 1/8 ounce loads at trap? Because I can’t shoot 1 1/4.

I shot pigeons last Saturday at a fun shoot. Bounced around between guns (because it was a fun shoot). Guns used; a Perazzi pigeon gun, an AL 391 trap gun, and a 1935 Parker Vent Rib trap gun. Shot all equally well, even though I shot 1 oz 8s, 1st bbl, and 1 1/8 oz 2nd BBL in the Parker.
The bystanders were amazed at how well the Parker performed, despite using the light loads. After a bazzilion years of shooting, you start to learn how effective the lighter loads are. Bruised shoulders are for the newbies. |

You should have seen the 50 - 60 yard shots I was breaking with a full choke 20 gauge with 7/8 oz. of #8 pushed by 14 grains of 20/28 at our New Years Day shoot.
