"More drop" makes the gun shoot lower, so I would not recommend that. I routinely have to reduce drop to make my guns shoot where I look. What ruins most straight-away shots is trying to see the barrel's (or bead's) relationship to the bird. Best way to make yourself shoot under them there is.

I have been driving those section line roads for many years. They are essentially one lane. If you had your driver's side tires "just on the edge of the road," as you said, then you would be impeding a wide hay load. There is no "going around you" -- they have to keep the truck in the center...

My vet (son) on Vet's Day.

Dang, is November ever gonna get here? Win 101 PG 20-ga, ounce of Fiocchi GP 5's. I bought a flat of 1-1/4 oz GP 4's several years ago but have never felt the need for them.

First couple of weeks are too hot even for a shorthair and the rattlesnakes are still out. You can have it.

I carry only two things, needle-nose pliers to pull quills and nylon filament tape to hog-tie the dog with for the duration of the quill extraction. More stuff in the vehicle, of course.
