lol Campo, I know what you mean. I used to "content" as well. But after spending enough time having birds parade around in pastures in southern MO and across foodplots here in west TN I thought, "There has GOT to a better way". Thus my quest for long range shotgunning.

JL I don't know where to tell you to look in NY (I am in Jackson, TN) but go onto Rays website www.nitrocompany.com and if he doesn't have a dealer list at least you can get ahold of him and he can get you headed in the right direction. Be warned his loads are VERY expensive. About $6 a piece! [:'(]But let me tell you, after you shoot one or see them in action you would shoot them if they were $20 a piece. It's one of those unique products that work so well people just HAVE TO HAVE EM after they see them in action for themselves. I was sold the first time I pulled the trigger on one. Another thing to remember is when reading Ray's charts online. Those pellet counts are in a 10" circle at 40yds!!! [:-]For most 3.5" guns he promises 230-270 pellets in that 10" circle at that distance. A freakin mosquito couldn't fly through that pattern.

Good luck this spring men,
RA
