George thank you for the kind words. And classy admissions are the kind of admissions classy guys make. I completely agree with you. I still don't understand why my physics were wrong.
Stan is saddens me that you are looking forward to murdering those wonderful little songbirds. May I suggest you shoot clays instead? Clays don't bleed.
Yep. When I read your post I immediately started thinking about what gun I would use opening day. Right now I am thinking the Parker two-frame with the 32" barrels choked really tight and super tight. I shot it at trap Saturday. 7-1/2 pounds of avian lethality. But if we shoot over decoyed dove I may use the 5-1/4 pound Parker Reproduction with 28" barrels. But it is so expensive shooting decoyed dove as my shooting student Joe Wood winds up shooting all the MoJo decoys at $30 per.
When we have more time I will disabuse you of your delusion that you can see a thousandth of an inch bend in a 30" tube.
