Roy - I have done some "wood pigeon" shooting over here, standing next to silos and shooting pigeons as a favor to farmers. Good sport (and practice for dove hunting) but a dozen or two birds was the best we ever did. It would have been fun to have this gun in hand for those days.

Ted - I totally agree. Kent TM 1 3/8 oz loads is all I need and want to shoot out of this gun. Having the heavier proofs on this gun will provide some mental comfort for shooting loads with those pressures.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
