Tower Pheasent Partridge Pigeon loads

[6pt-Sika]

Well to be more exact Pheasent , Partidge , Pigeon loads for Brutus . It appears an 8 gauge is okay in WVA so if I’m able to attend the January shoot I’ll drag Brutus along . Be kinda neat to smack down a couple of their high flying pheasents with the brute . Loaded so far a box of 1 3/4 ounce #6’s pushed with 36.5 grains of Universal Clays . Think next week I’ll load another box of #6’s and perhaps a box of #4’s .

2 ounce loads pushed by 40 grains of bluedot aint a bad load easy on shoulder and got that 1/4 ounce of shot for insurance....charlie

This place isn’t to far from Winchester VA . Actually closer to Berryville VA and within a few miles of the Summitt Point race track .

My club in northern Baltimore county has these tower shoots monthly and a driven bird shoot, which simulates an English driven shoot, 3 or 4 times during the season. We are a RSA (regulated shooting area) and it is legal.

If any PGCA members would like to participate in one please PM me.

I’ve got a cousin that lives and breathes to hunt the gobble birds . He was out at the club a month or two ago on Tuesday night and id just shot a round of trap with Brutus . Think I talked him into calling a bird in for Brutus in the spring .

1 3/4 - 2 ounces of shot to kill a pen raised pheasant? What the heck? I've never seen the need for over 1 1/8 ounces of mid-sized lead shot with sufficient choke for tower thrown pheasants.

If I ever ran a tower shoot I wouldn't allow over 1 1/4 ounce. Shot fall is a real concern when you're shooting across the "circle" from someone possibly throwing 2 ounces of #4s up in the air. I'm not trying to start an argument, or chastise anyone, but shot fall is something that needs to be considered at these type shoots. I sure wouldn't want to be across from someone shooting loads like that.
