Yes, Paul it is a 20 ga. I like the idea of drawing the can on paper and shooting it. I will try that if it warms up a little. My dog hurt his foot so I don't know how much more hunting I'm going to get to do, season ends Feb. 15th.
And yes, the guy does know what he's talking about. He's hunted all his life and he's about 60 yrs. old. I just hunted with him the one time and he dropped birds all morning. I did get a few but not very many. We had our limit in a couple hours and it was mostly because of him. I have had a chance to get my limit but haven't been able to hit but about 50% of my shots if that many. I'm going to fabricate me a shim and see what that does and if that doesn't help I'm going to order a cylinder choke.
I shot a duck the other day with the skeet choke, the 7 1/2's and was about foorty yards from him and he never moved. When the pellets hit the water it looked like a full choke, that's what leads me to believe I need a more open choke. Thanks again!!
