    Yep, Just like me, when you put lead shot in a 20g Shotgun Shell it becomes "Special" or if its in my 28G shells then its "uniquely special"

    The shell magically change from "inflight pluckers" to "inflight Fu^%kers"

    Steel lived up to expectations. First birds on a low fast pass, ripped into them, duck I fired three shots at did not even slow down. I thought "crap, whats happened to my shooting" then huge clumps of feathers came raining down. Pluck and release they should call it. After that I modified my approach and shooting a bit as per what I had been told and managed to fold the next one up cleanly.
    So it was the 'old faithful' sitting in the corner giving you the eye. Good stuff.

    Excellent stuff Toby. "You're on the board Miss Ford," you might need a parent or grandparent to explain that one.

    Spent most of yesterday out in the maimi watching high flying ducks. Clear skys in the morning and noting shootable. Not as many around this year. Total for Saturday 0. Shot at 1 marginal duck this morning. The dizzle didnt even help to bring them down. I think its time to fins another possie. In all a really crap opening weekend.

    Our worst year ever by a long a long shot. 100 or so which is down from a previous worst of 160.
    If steel goes to 20ga here I'm done with duck shooting. No point if there's not enough people out which was a big problem in our area. Some cracking ponds empty of shooters, but plenty of ducks on them.
