Doves are some of the hardest, they accelertate

most others are slowing down when you try to shoot, or slowly flushing. Doves strafe you like A-10's. Leaving you feeling totally helpless. Doves will make a monkey out of anyone. A gun too heavy will make you over-swing. Too light and handy will pound you trying.

I wish I could go back in the day and take GNR Contender dove hunting. I know some local boys that use TC .410's for Turkey, but hey are really good callers and top sneaks. I handloaded some 3" .410 using 2400 and #9 shot. If I could see either gray or brown they were in my 30 yd. range. If darker too far. I also perfected my hold, two arms held straight and swinging from my hips. Shot 21 rounds and got 6 birds. About a personal best even with a shotgun. I was really picking my shots at the end.

Fun question, we all are going dove huntin - WB, 2022-06-30, 13:40
