Thick as "flys"-- maybe "flies"? I am a pass shooter for barn pigeons- no doves though in MI-the PETA azzholers shot down our chances for a legal dove season- I like 30" and 32" tight chokes in my side-by-side 12 gauges for "airborne shit-birds"- like T. N. Buckingham said so well in his story "The Dove"-- and I quote: "You've had about all the thrills possible when you blot out an almost overhead fifty-yard dove-- and see your bird, well patterned, crumple"-- A bit of Nash espousing the Limey driven bird mantra of "Bum, Belly, Beak, Bang"-- works for me!!
