These folks will certainly fatten you up !

Thanks buddy, it's like I'm there. Looks like a lot of fun but I don't think I could pull the trigger for 1000+ birds. What you did today would be sufficient. Is that a bottle of Tequila?

Good spot Daryl. I believe that's used for rubbing on sore shoulders after a long day of shooting. This crew wouldn't drink that stuff

Our group took our guns, but that was 15 years ago. Wouldn't take them today

[Mills]

I took my own guns, but that was 20 - 30 years ago too.

I have not shot pigeons in South America and want to. I hear that is even more fun than doves

I shot 475 12 gauge shells today and killed 414 birds . That’s an 87% average I did however get 3 or 4 I killed two with a single shot and once I fired once and knocked four down so the bird said . I let the bird boy shoot a box an Marvcell was 20 of 25 . I shot a Benelli Montefeltro today . The other days I shot Beretta 686 O/U 20’s and a 28 .

As they say "without pictures it didn't happen".

Last time I went was in 2010 and we took our own guns. I want to go back badly, but it wouldn't be the same without being able to use my own gun(s). Both times I went I shot my Beretta 687 SP II Sporting 20 ga. It is a special little gun to me, now. Using a lodge's jammamatic just wouldn't be the same, somehow. Some of our guys let the bird boys clean their guns at the end of the day. I did not. I clean my own guns.

Last trip I shot for three hours each morning and three each afternoon. I averaged over 1000 doves killed a day, with a total of 4350 for four days (8 three-hour shoots). I had no recoil related issues at all. IMO, after seeing many guys shooting (there were 17 of us at the River Lodge with Luis Sier), recoil related problems are much more related to poor gun mounts than the guns themselves or the loads. A friend of mine who was shooting a 20 ga. Browning was still bleeding through his shirt at church on Sunday, after we had arrived back in the states on Thursday.
