A co-worker & I once went on a dove shoot over a cornfield that had been chopped for silage. It was too crowded so we did not stay for a long time. There was one place in the field where two or three stalks had been left standing & not chopped. A gentleman was set up in these stalks with a single barrel. From the distance we were could not see it in great detail, but could see it had an external hammer. appeared on the order of an older H&R Topper or IJ Champion, nothing special. During the time we were there I saw him kill close to a half dozen doves with as many shots. Most of these had been missed numerous times as they had come down the fence row on the far side of the field from us & then veered across those standing stalks. He needed neither a pump, semi-auto nor even a double to get his birds, just a shot.
