If I wanted to shoot birds on the wing, I shoot at ducks. If I want birds to eat, I will shoot them on a branch. Besides that, when they fall to the ground, the look spectacular and you won't get that shooting them on the wing...

Son found some fairly close to Bend and going there opening day but it's still a hundred miles min.

Other times you don't even need a stinking potting pistol, if you have a good Dog that is quick.... Last edited by battue; 08/13/18. laissez les bons temps rouler

Late season really sharpened One's eyes as the birds were much more spooky. I've shot more than a few with a handgun but not nearly as often as I could have. Its more of a challenge than with a rifle and probably rivals shooting grouse over a dog though the opportunities with the pistol are fewer around here Whatever the weapon, grouse hunting is fun and they are great eating.

Shotguns work too, especially the Saiga "commie" gun. Those guns function flawlessly in case you do have to shoot at a flying bird...

If I knew then what I know now regarding gun fit I probably would have kept at least a couple as I could have altered them to fit me.

I had a SKB O/U that would make my face swell up after 2 rounds of 5 stand. Bloody near get a black eye from that thing. I switched to an older Citori with lower comb and was fine after that. This 101 is about the same, so should be fine. Find out tonight if the coastal fog clears.
