I really enjoyed the day although once again my score was worse than the year before.

And, of course, my friend who borrowed my gun again outshot me by a comfortable margin.

The organisation, staff and scorers were, as always, excellent.

I sure would love to shoot that event once.

I also wish someone over here would host one.

As it were I have to content myself with doves and an occasional sub-gauge event.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

I got a 410 shoot started at my local club. It's hard to get people to come as they complain about the price of the shells. Also the local skeet shooters who attended put pressure on the club owner to only allow 2 1/2" shells and not 3".

The guy that narrated that video is not a great candidate for a .410. His arms are not big enough to handle such a gun. grin grin grin

Great vdeo, thanks for sharing. Loved watching and one of my favorite shooters is Carlo Rizzini.

The weather kept me away from DeepRiver this year. How did the shoot go? Will you have it next year? I’ve found 2.5” vs 3” shells make a difference

Have a 2 1/2" class and a 3" class, should make most happy

I agree, for hunting. For clays it doesn't really matter to me. Most courses with targets set for a .410 have birds that 1/2 oz. will easily break, with enough choke.

3" loads on wild birds increases my distance a little and also increases my kill ratio. I have a .73 oz. handload of nickel plated 8s that is the best .410 dove load I've ever used, hands down.

And another video of Monday’s shoot!

The author finished just after I arrived. Fortunately his video did not quite capture the moment I spilt half a box of cartridges out of the back of my Subaru as I got ready.
