Would an old cooler be a viable option?

I will offer this observation: I once read a description of poly-chokes where the author stated that "they are as ugly as homemade sin."

I will give another reason why the bottom barrel should be fired first. Last week, I did a gun fitting with pattern testing for a young man who shoots trap in the High School Clay Target League. This young man shoots left handed and is left eye dominant. He was shooting an SKB TT-15 Double...

This might be helpful to explain why the bottom barrel should be fired first.

True. The second link gives the actual statues. Training dogs on WMAs is closed April 15 to July 15.

This video with illustrates your point.

There are times that really enjoy hunting just me and my dog. I also really enjoy sharing a hunt with one or two friends. Then again, I also really enjoy a well executed cornfield drive with a large group of friends. I seldom get to post and have to be one of the drivers as I have a bird dog...

Regarding the discussion on shot string, the following video is interesting and fits much of what has been discussed here. Take a look at the high speed video of shot striking the pattern board. Note, if you are relying on a long shot string to hit your target, you are not using the core of...

You think it should be illegal for more than one hunter to shoot at the same pheasant?

Without hesitation, if that is gun that I wanted, I would have the stock cut and fitted with a 1" recoil pad to my length of pull. There is nothing to feel bad about. If it is your gun, get it fit to you with a proper recoil pad.

Here is an interesting article related to your comment. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/steel-shot-lethality-testing/

I stated before that I doubt that this bill will pass in its present form. However, I do not doubt that lead, as a known neurotoxin, will be eliminated in many applications as effective substitutes become available. This may well happen in our lifetime. This has occurred many times in the...

I am curious, how many people really think they are skilled enough at wing shooting to consistently engage a moving target at 60 yards? I shoot a lot of sporting clays and if the target setters put out a 40 yard target, few people hit it consistently and many people bitch about it. 35 to 40...

They are 8.5" x 11".

I sincerely doubt that the portion of the bill banning lead shot for target shooting will make it out of committee. I quit using nontoxic shot and bullets for my hunting several years ago. It makes no sense to me to inject a known neurotoxin into the food when effective substitutes are...

I stopped cleaning pheasants while on a multi-day hunt several years ago. There is no reason to do so, as you have to leave a wing or leg attached anyway and it is a joy killing chore at the end of a day's hunt. We keep the birds whole, if it is cool enough we just leave them on the ground...

Several years ago, I used to waterfowl hunt with a guy that would shoot over his limit and tell me that I had to count the extra birds as part of my limit. One morning we were hunting with new guy and as we were setting decoys, this the offender was bragging about a recent hunt where he shot...

I do not recall where the rest of that pattern ended up. I shot that target 4 years ago. I found it in my files the other day as I was working up a turkey load for this spring. I recently shot a 1 1/8 oz #4 steel pattern that is denser and more even at 40 yards than that bismuth is at 35...

Regarding the OP, about 4 years ago, I purchased 2 boxes of Boss 2 3/4" 12 gauge 1 1/4 oz #6 copper plated bismuth with a stated velocity of 1350 fps. I shot some pheasants with it through a modified choke and it worked well. I also shot some through a full choke on a turkey target to see if...
