[Stumpknocker]

Got a belly full or BBQ , beans, homemade slaw and banana puddin before the shoot, 1.5 hrs and 23 shells later I was loading up , great weekend and had a great breeze that made the birds sporty

My kid smoked me.

We shot in Lamar.

Having said that, I need to get this damned SBE3 shooting straight.

Shim that thing! Took mine out the box and shot 14 out of 100 on a sheet thing. Was ready to give it away. Rebel yell put the correct shim in it and bam, back in business..








We shot in the am Monday. Was nice. 9 guns. 12 bird limits. My oldest was the first out and on the worst stand. Birds were high as hell by the time they got to his end. Several I passed on he clobbered. I was on #7 when he walks up to rib me a little.

lots of doves. lots and lots of teenagers and lead flying.

Sorry we couldn't make it.

[centurian]

First time in many years all dressed up and no where to go. Pay field we been shooting had no birds.

Dumb question, were you shooting the SB2 before the SB3??

[2thDoc]

add dove lanyard to my list
(and dove call)

Dear God, Please dont make dove hunting as bad as turkey people or the retriever forum. Amen


edited again to add: people that take bad shots they normally wouldnt for whatever reason.

Tuesday I bushed some more corn and wheat/prozo/brown top.........Power line count count from the front porch indicates lots of birds still using the field.
And dang it.......I can't find my dove call.......It works well with stationary decoys...........One thing that did work good Saturday......Was a dove decoy on a spinning reel.......Cast the decoy over the line and reel it up to the wire. Lay spinning reel on the ground.........Easy flip off after hunt.

Today was rough. I shot at 4 birds. I'd normally not attempt such shots.

My kid got 4 outta 20ish. He took many crazy shots, too.

Birds were not flying & if they were, they were quite high.

Yep. Cloudy and drizzle all morning. Then at noon. Sunny and hot.

How'd everybody do this weekend? I had to be in Charleston and wasn't able to hunt. Slow-going from what I heard, tho.

[Highstrung]

I showed up at two places, birds folded up. It was lovely.

[2thDoc]

i saw fields full of limits.

and a glimpse of ralph like a mirage in the distance....
and two N glenn but i had no idea he traveled all over the state to dove hunt....

[Highstrung]

I saw you too. I did miss a bird, Nutz told me it didn't count as a miss though.. he lost some feathers. oh, and I like hot dogs. Yesterday was slower, birds kinda showed up out of no where, but we just chilled..

[ecu1984]

Plenty of birds

Probably shooting high. My SBE1 was crazy high until I shimmed it.

[USMCsilver]

The notorious high & left.

The season before last I didn't seem to have much of an issue. Last season, our hunts were slow, overall. I didn't shoot that great, and I finally put the gun on paper and WOW.

Opening day, I was totally in my head. I was trying to trigonometry for every bird. Needless to say, it wasn't working.

I installed a taller front sight to help me get under the birds a little better. I also have a shim kit coming in the mail. I got that, a new cheek-piece (mine is badly deteriorated), and a new butt-pad. Mine's in rough shape and about to fall off the gun.

Hopefully, once all that is installed, and can quit the math and hit birds again.

I used to be able to hit nearly anything with my old 870 that I grew up shooting. It's a travesty that I sold it...

take all that crap off your gun and just point the damn thing and pull the trigger

jesus you people make shit so terribly difficult.

The butt-pad is a factory replacement; mine is in rough shape and nearly falling off.
The cheek-piece is a factory replacement; mine's disintegrated and falling apart.

Neither of these "can be taken off."

The front sight...well, yes, I could remove it. However, I prefer to leave it in place.

[2thDoc]

well keep missing then. I dont care.

but I do care. I care a lot.

so go by an 870 for $250 and get your mojo back.
doves should not be missed repeatedly.
