Im with you Oscar

Love them for Pheasants and quail. But 2 or 3 boxes at 5 stand or dove field is a little rough.

I would stay with 5s and choke according to the distance your shots are.

5s. By far. Im assuming pointing dogs? If not then bismuth would work betyer. But you will never need 3 inch for pheasant. Been hunting them 30 yrs, and nope never.

Shoot 1 oz 71/2s on training and 5s or 6s on big birds. No problem killing them

Thats whats good about Shady Rays. They replace lost and broken ones. Sounds crazy but they have for me 2 times. Just the shipping.

Look up Shady Rays color rush glasses. Make all the orange and red colors jump. Pheasants will be easy to identify.

Never shot one in 28. But the 20 and definetly the 12 will kill on both ends in a dove field.

Oh forgot, he has English Pointers and like myself ,English Setters

Cripoles dont stand a chance mostly, Im talking about if they point and the bird leaves that area.

Just a bit of advice, they arent sporting clays or a really good dove shooting gun. You will be brused after a 50 or more round shoot. Love them for game but not a bunch of shooting at once.

Im a pointing dog guy . They usually are out front and find birds that a flushing dog hasnt got to yet but as far as tracking I would say that the flushers would have that advantage. Theres room for both for sure. My friend has added a lab to his string of pointers and setters. Its worked out...

Juat remember that a wild pheasant is way different than preserve or pen raised birds. You will swear that sometimes the have on kevlar drawers. Lol. Take what you shoot well and thats light enough to carry all day. I like all of them except 410 but with tss it would surely do the job. But...

This whole subject I find so ironic. A couple years ago I made the statement that I always heard SD released birds so they could keep hunters coming as it was their best tourism dollars . I Was piled on by a lot of you posting in this section how that was not true and that I was some sort of...

Look on Upland Journal for a guy named Three Dogs. He is in Arizona or Idaho. He has some great looking Setters. And Im a setter guy.
