Not an African thing, but I post it here because I prefer the company! If you've never been, Argentina is a veritable Hitchcock movie. Birds galore! Great beer, Malbec wine, and all the steak you can eat! "The Democrat Party looks like Titanic survivors. Partying and celebrating one moment, and huddled in lifeboats freezing the next".

Kids had never been wingshooting before, and actually, we just introducted them to shotgunning recently, with mixed results. Let's say after watching them do sporting clays a few times, we figured they'd shoot 4-5 boxes and be sore and done with the whole idea. Wrong! Here's Hatari Jr. and his buddy Jackson on the plane and fired up to go: Jackson with his dad in the field: Not only did they get to shoot, but got toplay gaucho on horseback too: Did Imention the food was outstanding? Argentina does meat well. It is Vegan hell, and I hope all Vegans spend eternity in Argentina forced to eat tenderloin, 20 oz ribeyes right off the open fire, sausages, chicken, pork, ribs, etc, etc. The Famous diet doc Dr. Robert Adkins would have loved the low carb meals.

OP hatari Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 23,366 Atlanta	Now to the shooting. Doves and pigeons everywhere! They are a plague and a pestilence to farmers. You can shoot all you want and never put a dent in the numbers. The kids got into the groove and performed amazingly. Jackson used the AAA approach, figuring the more lead you put in the air, the more birds that will fall. He made some amazing long distance shots and whacked nearly 700 birds in 3 days of shooting. Of course, it took him 113 boxes of shells. Poor dad choked on the shell bill. Some of you might remember a few months ago I asked what to do about my son who is right handed but is left eye dominant? I got him together with the instructor of the local sporting clays shooting team, and he recommended going lefty, which we did. After about 100 shots, Hatari Jr. decided to shoot some righty, and took down 4 of the first 5. After that, he switched back and forth with equal results, which were darn good for a kid new at shooting. He doesn't know that it is not that easy to do! He does switch hit exceptionally in baseball, so I guess he just has that knack. Here's about 90 minutes worth of shooting, at least the ones we could find: "The Democrat Party looks like Titanic survivors.
