It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

Approached this pond this morning and there was a handful of ducks on it.
Only had a chance to fire one shot as they fled through the gap on the left between the two trees.
2 drakes down with one shot

what number cartridges would you guys suggest is best to use for ducks. At our maimai the birds are flying about 40-50m high. I have a modified choke on my shotgun.

This afternoon, dog and I went down to the river and crossed over...the area has had much done to it with removal of acres of old man wandering jew etc making the locale much more favourable to the pheasant. * Looks almost park like....
We had been on the go for over an hour when dog indicated scent, then went on point and flushed the bird...yet another hen away!! * On the way back to the car park we saw a small gaggle of greylags.
...amitie, respect mutuel et amour...
...le beau et le bon, cela rime avec Breton!...
