You more than anyone should know how important the money raised by the sale of the stamps is to our beloved sport. I am now glad that I haven't renewed my subscription to your magazine and will not do so in the future. What a disappointment.

Bought a Browning BPS. LIke the 870 much better. It just feels like a natural and its frugal but adequate. I bought a Reminton 1100 decades ago ad it woulkdn't eject. Hence, I went to the pump. Understand the autos are much more dependable now. The Browning Sweet 16 gold trigger is probably my favorite for quail I shot a 870 for years 30 years ago and then it was stolen from my truck.

]]> Comment on Shot String And Waterfowl Hunting Ballistics by 28gaugehunter http://www.wildfowlmag.com/tips_strategies_shot_string_and_waterfowl_hunting_ballistics_010711.html#comment-50951 28gaugehunter Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:36:44 +0000 http://www.wildfowlmag.com/tips_strategies_shot_string_and_waterfowl_hunting_ballistics_010711.html#comment-50951 Really, this is EXACTLY what I have been thinking about all duck season. I load my own nontoxic loads (Ecotungsten and/or ITX) for my 28 gauge double. Knowing how a shot string will perform out of different chokes will determine quick kills vs clean misses. Over the summer the pattern board will see different propellents, different wads, and different shot size & shape for a variety of chokes. This, coupled with regular sporting clay sessions will improve your shooting. Indeed, this comes from a hunter trying to hit more ducks by doing his homework.

Too much constriction destabilizes the shot/wad. I have heard some legendary things about the cutts system but other guys say otherwise. Plus the other shooters are competing so don't take "friendly" advice at face value.
