Suggestions on type? Sources for a replacement? Any help appreciated, dove season approaches!

Kinda tells you you don't really need it. It happend to me once while shooting bunker trap at Quantico Marine base in VA and I never noticed it until I was finished shooting my 4th round. Brian Dudley here should be able to help you.
