WOODIES WORST NIGHTMARE Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Sam, best tip I can give you is dont shoot too many at the start of a drive if youre walking, your arms will be three feet longer by the time you finish the drive and you will have no strength left to raise the gun the rest of the day On a serious note I have always found 5's to be the best bet, and a nice tight choke. Good luck me old beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 5's, but I have shot them with powerful 6's and never had a runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGhost Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 5 in 36g or 6 in 30g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergame Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Remington 3.5 inch buffered copper plated 4s, 2 1/4 oz for extreme range hares. For close work 40 gram 4s or 5s will do the job sufficiently well. Theres nowt worse than a screaming hare shot with standard game loads!
