The upcountry pigeon match today was a pleasure as they always are with those boys. Just a small field of 10 shooters so it was over a little quicker than you really want them to be. The big 34 inch gun performed very well, I used up some of my precious stock of Winchester AA Super Pigeon copper plated #8 loads to good effect. I killed 18 out of my 24 and had three more birds dead just outside the ring. Not enough to take home the money but I wasn't embarrassed by my score at least.
Don and Russ were both excellent hosts, as they always are when I visit. I'm already looking forward to another trip out that way for a two day pigeon shoot and some pheasant hunting sometime after the first of the year.
