Frankly, I strafed it across the back as it sped past me at eye level at about a 90 degree angle. The top of the grouse was about shredded but the breasts and legs were unscathed. The branches of the bushes that took the shot charge looked like they all sprouted little tufts of fluff in about a 12 inch circle and well back into the bush. It was quite a lucky shot really... I'm not really that good on grouse or grouse-like clays

I have a 28 ga with 26" Q1/Q2 bbls, DT, pistol grip and BT forend. It is not particularly muzzle-light, just plain light period! Or should I say that my wife has it, since she decided she likes it for grouse and quail . I've even had good luck on doves with it, which usually are better shot with a longer barreled gun. That is, when I can pry it away from her.

That would make sense to me Joe. One year at grouse camp I snapped Deans beavertail onto my splinter equipped 28 and instantly liked the gun a whole lot more. Maybe someday I will find a beavertail forend for it.
