You can check YouTube. There were some videos last year utilizing a super high speed camera to record and talk about shot string. The majority of shot string is under a couple feet and not worth trying to outthink. It was interesting data though.

Looking at their website they carry federal. Decent shells. A lot of folks like black cloud. depending On what your hunting, if you can find it Fiocchi makes great shells as well. Also, inexpensive non-toxic Kent Fasteel is good.

While this might seem to be true, having run 3 inch hevimetal at 1450 fps vs 1300 fps I’d have to say the velocity has way more to do with the felt recoil. I shoot 3 inch Fiocchi golden pheasant loads at 1300 fps and dont feel anything significant. I can’t say the same for t faster loads. I also...

I read a ton and watched numerous videos on shot string. Don’t try to outthink it. While the string could be long in most instances depending on distance to target the great majority of the string isn’t more than a couple feet and arrival time on target is milliseconds. When you put the same...

I like 3 inch shells in my 20 ga shotgun when hunting upland. good buddy once told me that if your going to drive a long distance to go hunting (coming from Washington state to North Dakota) you might cinsider the few extra bucks To make sure you have what you feel is premium ammo. I hunt behind...

I’ve bought new batteries off eBay numerous times for various different types/brands of collars. Ideally you can get the part number directly off the batteries and find them quickly and reasonably.

While there are some birds such as chukar on the hills in eastern Washington, there isn’t much in the way of pheasant that isn’t supplemented by the Washington dept of fish and wlldlife. Every year they release in excess of 10,000 roosters. Oh there are places with birds but we’ve also beat on...

Have had springers for over 50 years. Love the look. Love the friendliness. Great family dog and can turn off if/as needed which works well for hime environment. They go everywhere with me and happily stay in the truck for hours without destroying anything. When it comes to the field they have...

Our group 4-5 of us don’t use guides. We’ve spent a fair amount of years locating areas to hunt in NODak. We also don’t hunt the southwest corner of the state where the majority of folks hunt yearly. for us, coming from Washington state where hunting is abysmal our time in NODak is usually only...

While I don’t personally hunt Montana and instead come from Washington State to hunt North Dakota yearly. Can agree with a shortened Non-resident license. NODak allows two weeks on the initial non-res license. personally, imalso dont hunt opening weekend. While I could hunt it I know the...

When hunting out of state NODak I carry 3 in the gun and about another dozen in my vest. With 3 different upland birds available I never know if I’m going to run into pheasants, sharpies, huns, or several of each. usually more than enough as we hunt about an hour at a time and then working our...

For those who’ve hunted for many years, i always remember each furry hunting companion. Fortunate enough to spend time in the field with too many. Each had their own personality. Each was special in some way. While the thought of losing one hurts terribly, I know they’d want me to bring another...

Washington state has some of the highest sales taxes, gas taxes well over a dollar a gallon, home real estate taxes, carbon taxes, food, the highest starting wages in the nation going to over 16 bucks and hour, and yes the liberal representatives are doing everything they can to add taxes daily...

You guys are just rubbing my nose in it. When you live in a shiesthole state like Washington you actually get excited when you see fuel prices below 4 bucks a gallon. Every time our fuel prices drop, these liberal representatives in this state throw another tax on it. This is for regular unleaded!

Beautiful gun. I own a black synthetic sx4 in 12 ga and a camo 20 gauge. Love the guns. whoever ends up with this will be a happy camper.
