We are very interested in the loads and the length of the barrels of the guns used.

The Challenge was three shooters, aged 75, 73 and 69. The range was set up for low angle, going away Texas Heart Shots. The trap was set about 25 yards so as to slow them birds down some as they got out there. Orange and yellow sprinkler flags were set at 5 yard intervals out to 100 yards. After any particularly impressive (lucky) shot we walked out to see where the pieces fell. Guns were 27 inch Charles Lancaster ic/xf...30 inch Cogswell cyl/f...32 inch Parker f/f (and we think he under reported his chokes). A variety of loads and I can't say which were which...but I shot my # 6 turkey loads out of the Cogswell and only used the one barrel. Tried a couple of 4's to no avail (but much snickering). Everybody shot RST's with a few leftover Polywads from the back of the drawer thrown in, but again we think Cap'n Tom snuck in a few ringers on us because frankly he is not that good.
