I'm surprised you are not recommending skeet chokes to go with them! 2 hours ago, Perazzishot said: I honestly can't believe anyone is advocating shooting a January pheasant with 7.5s.

Robertt Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not everyone can accurately judge 40 yards. I have seen alot of pricked birds shot at over 40y this season with 7-1/2's. Why pay all that money out for a days driven shooting and not using a cartridge capable of shooting high screamers. I use 5's for that reason.

No sir, only one bird second barrelled as I recall. Mostly first barrel kills with some double misses. Gun is imp and quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Oddly enough, if a covey of partridge or a flush of pheasants offers a double chance it is usually the first barrel that I kill with, and then miss with the second.

Yep, you've been watching. The first because you're taken by surprise you shoot instinctively and the second you shoot deliberately - well that's my excuse anyway.

London Best Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 You may well be right. I tend to blame getting excited at the prospect of a right and left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than missing with both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
