RST's New Load.....
On my way home from Hausmann's I managed to test out some of RST's new live pigeon loads up in the Coal Regions.
Let me tell you, if I did my part, they were absolute murder. I highly recommend them without any reservations.
There was a stiff wind blowing and if you missed the first barrel the birds were out of the ring in a blink. I killed some graveyard dead at an easy 50 yards with my 2nd barrel using the new loads. Didn't do much for my score, as they were well outside the fence obviously, but it certainly said a lot for the quality of Morris and Alex's newest addition to the line.
It was a bittersweet day though. I love pigeon shooting, but I kept catching myself looking for my friend Russ Bickel. That was a shoot he wouldn't have missed and we all certainly missed him while we were there. The match was just down the road a few miles from the new pigeon club he helped to found and that made his recent death even more of a sting.

P.S. I want to personally thank Morris for giving Don and I prints of that wonderful picture of Russ and ourselves from down at the Southern a couple years ago.
