The Manufrance 1930 catalog specifies that the Supra barrel is intended for under 16 meter (50ft) shotshell shooting.
It also says that it is very accurate with slugs. Actually they mention their slugs.
I am not sure how this would work with modern slugs.
As for woodcocks, they are migratory birds and show up in November/December IIRC. They would be most everywhere, but are quite rare now. I have only seen one.
WC-
Not at all rare in Scotland in late Nov/Dec. I've shot driven birds over there several times, and we always see some on drives. I missed a perfect opportunity when I misidentified one until it was too late. Stomping my feet, swearing at myself . . . and the young lady picker-up behind me, with her spaniel, was having a good laugh. On another drive, I had 2 or 3 pass by. Would've been good chances, but they were too low. The Beaters' Protective Association says those are shots you don't take.
Have also stood outside by the light of the moon and attempted to pass shoot them. Other members of our group have scored that way. I've never had a shot at one.
