Opening day in GA finally arrived. I had decided to shoot my doves this year with a fine old W&C Scott and Son hammergun.
I've shot lots of targets with the gun but this afternoon's dove shoot with it was the first time on game and it about whipped my butt. I managed a limit but it took two full boxes of RST 2.5" low pressure (and all afternoon)to do it.
On targets I pull the hammers back before calling for the claybird. This afternoon I had to pull the hammer as the shot presented and that was just enough to rattle my timing.
I never did manage to pull the 2nd hammer for a followup when I missed though I did manage to get a couple of doubles when I had time to pull both hammers to some far out incomers. My thumb's sore but I plan to use the Scott again tomorrow afternoon...Geo
