I just patterned several shells out of a couple guns, all shots were at 40 yards. I only shot prairie storm out of one, an Impala Plus 12 gauge. I first tried imp cyl, as thats what federal suggests for PS. On a 48 by 42 inch paper, there were roughly 15 holes. Idk where the shot went. I then...

Ive learned something today, about birds seeing color. Looks like they can see uv as well, and our clothing dyes and detergents put off uv light. So even if a phez can see you coming from 40 yards being a foot off the ground in 4 foot tall grass, better be treating that camo with uv blocking...

Haha id love to see the study that shows pheasants spook at the sight of an orange hat. Show me the study that pheasants can even see color. I hunted with someone who wasn't wearing orange, but had a couple different browns on. I almost swung into him several times. If you hunt with someone...

I tried imp cylinder. On a 48 by 42 inch paper there were approximately 15 holes. Mod had maybe 35-40 total. Next was a scheels pheasant plus and i didnt hate it but wasnt overly impressed. All were off shooting sticks.

After shooting a couple in another light semi auto off sticks today, i promise i wont be shooting them in the 48. I also have never seen a poorer patterning shell out of 2 different chokes

I definitely have never heard that. It really does slam when u do it though. Thanks for the heads up, i wont do that anymore.

O ive shot PS. Never felt them out of the Affinity I had but I remember shooting straight up with a light russian o/u and I felt every fps. Mostly curious if todays hot loads are what caused so many 48 al grips to crack or if its just guys not having the friction rings set right. Sometimes I...

Thats kind of the way i was leaning. I bought a few boxes of 1250-1330 fps rounds. This is a 12 in fixed mod. I barely felt the 1200 fps loads on light setting in a tshirt tho. Im sure ill feel something from this gun if i mount it wrong. May end up putting a really thin recoil pad on that...

Bingo

Ive had some great times just north of Mitchell before….

Recently purchased a 1973 Franchi 48. No recoil pad. Shot a box of target loads on light setting and no problem with recoil at all. I have about 6 boxes of prairie storm. Im not, to my knowledge, recoil sensitive while hunting. I have switched to the heavy setting and plan to pattern some...

Depends what youre hunting. In Iowa we hunt 95 percent private ground that hardly gets hunted. Even the public is hit rather lightly. We are loud the whole time catching up on life and birds hold fine. Out in SD, where every piece of public ground is hunted 13 times a day 6 days a week, i...

From what ive heard, central part is amazing this year for numbers. I think it’s gonna depend on rain totals everywhere had around June 20-22. Some areas were insanely high, well over a foot.

Avoid the far SE. it aint good. Floods took care of a lot.

Maybe thats not the correct term. The ring of spring steel that goes around the bronze friction ring. I think its purpose is to provide compression to the friction ring. NOT the beveled steel governor ring the friction ring kinda sits inside of.

Are you guys putting that retainer spring over the bronze friction ring BEFORE putting it onto the mag tube? Or do you open it up with a screwdriver and slide it over once its already on the tube? It was a bear to get off that way and it made me wonder if that bronze ring would get marred up...

Unless youre aware of them not updating their website, they are showing out of stock for everything. Same as every other place I found a parts listing online. Can find 20 and 28 gauge parts, but 12 is no where that I can find.

Finally shot this thing and only missed one clay out of 25. Recoil was fine, even with no recoil pad. Panicked when I took it apart, someone had put the governor ring below the spring. Took me a bit to find it. Started looking online for spare parts and realized they arent available in 12...

salt, pepper and ketchup over the whole thing. And they gotta be HOT

My wife has a cricut machine and makes all kinds of crap. She buys cheap coffee cups or mugs and can put pics/print on them for just a couple bucks
