    Prairie Storm in stock-cheap

    Jeez, West...I owe you another thank you. Been looking around for some 20ga claybusters; hard to find around here. I was not aware of Reeds at all. They have Top Guns @ $10/box and free shipping on a flat. Can't beat that around here. Rogers isn't that far but they don't have anything close to...

    NW is Dismal

    Only in my opinion, NW is all of Unit 1, Wallace/Logan/Gove/Trego in Unit 2 and from 283 to the west edges of Phillips and Rooks. YMMV.

    Tragedy averted with Technology

    Good advice. I got an instinct to go with my Garmin transmitter. Easy to glance at a watch.

    This will not help pheasants

    Just got a report from SD friend of finding some dead deer in the trees. This is going to be a large step backwards as Hay said

    Fitting a shotgun

    LC, which gun shop in Olathe? The one in the old Simmons building? Olathe Gun Shop on Rogers? No, I haven't been in that one for quite a while. Haven't been gun shopping in quite a while. But as I mentioned a while ago, my eye is roving over a pair of Benelli Montefeltro Silver Featherweights...

    Fitting a shotgun

    LC, I think we're all guilty at one time or another of raising our head off the stock. It's the most common error I see at the local skeet/trap range. Heck, raising the head and stopping the swing are basically the top two reasons for missing a clay. I've been shooting clay for decades and the...

    This will not help pheasants

    I think the area I hunt in SD is going to lose a lot of birds this week. Deep snow and high winds. Doesn't bode well for next year. Those birds that don't get into thick cover out of that wind aren't going to make it.

    Fitting a shotgun

    Which is why most shotgun instructors recommend practicing your mount to achieve consistency. As you say, you can have the absolute perfect fit on a shotgun but it will only be perfect for a consistent mount. If you change the mount, you change the POI. That happens in the field and at the...

    Fitting a shotgun

    You can use a mirror and look at it from the other end as well. Obviously with an unloaded shotgun.

    Recipes for Roosters

    If you can make it with chicken, you can make it with pheasant. Just have to be aware that pheasant quickly gets tough and flavorless if overcooked. So watch your heat and time and reduce accordingly. In camp we've done all sorts of stuff. Pheasant Cordon Bleu, Pheasant Parmagiana, Sweet &...

    Sold Reloads?? Should I say something?

    I've had several NIB 20ga Winchester Super-Target shells come right out of the sealed box looking like that. I had one factory sealed box that had probably a half an ounce of 8s rolling around in it when I opened it. I have also noticed hulls with little to no "ink" on them indicating the load...

    Winchester 20 Gauge 2 3/4" 1oz. 1300FPS Super Pheasant Copper Plated Diamond Grade

    I've heard and read about record gun sales and ammo purchases. I'm an RSO at a public range. All I can tell you is our total number of shooters took about a 60% drop in the first 18 months after the covid isolatio9 stuff started. Even though we're an outdoor range. Usage numbers are still at...

    Winchester 20 Gauge 2 3/4" 1oz. 1300FPS Super Pheasant Copper Plated Diamond Grade

    Supposedly Vista Outdoors has been running the lines 24/7/365 since October 2021. Since then, shotgun sports have been reporting a decline in shots fired. IE: the ATA shows registered target totals way down. Given the scarcity and price hikes, it's reasonable to think that shotgun shooters...

    Ammo Deal - Rogers

    I prefer 5s but that is too good a deal to pass up when quality pheasant loads are tapping on $30+ a box. Thanks for the heads up! Free shipping @ $100 is the icing on the cake!

    Great pics. Glad your Guardian Angel was with you on the road.

    12 Gauge Retay Gordion Walnut

    Kind of been perusing those Retays. If it was yours, can you give a short pro/con on it?
