Doubles
Does anyone else take a double (Either SxS or O/U) into the duck marsh or goose field?
No one esle I know shoots a double for waterfowl...Just a bit curious |
RE: Doubles
No but plan on using a OU 20 a little next season.
|
RE: Doubles
I use a SKB 585 waterfoweler for big ducks some times and a Baliki 20 gau o/u for teal and wood ducks
|
RE: Doubles
i have used an o/u before, but when the birds arent really flying well you might want to get that third shot of at the flocks that you do get to come in.
|
RE: Doubles
i use a 12 g. ruger red label o/u, love the quick reload and the versatility of having two chokes at once with the selector. i use mod and xtra mod, and freely switch between the 2 depending on range. i get some funny looks when i carry this pretty gun into the swamps, but what the heck. dirt washes off.

My thoughs exactly Moose
My Citori has been used as a canoe paddle, I really got some funny looks that day... |
RE: Doubles
i notice by your signature we havew the same taste in archery, too. nice shootin bow, isnt it?
|
RE: Doubles
Because sometimes that third shot makes for birds in the bag.
|
RE: Doubles
yeah, there times when i wish for the 3rd shot. but it just makes me make the 1st 2 count!;)
|
RE: Doubles
Yup, that Martin is a sweet shooter; smooth draw, no handshock...I love it!
On a good day, I can pop the empites and get off a third and fourth shot while the birds (Geese mostly) are still within range...and we only have a two bird limit;) |
RE: Doubles
Yes for puddlers I frequently take my o/u 20 Citori. Have shot thousands of rounds at skeet and doves, by far the best fitting gun I have, and also like the choke versatility. I do use my Win. model 12 for divers though. Too many opportunities can be squandered chasing cripples in that game.

RE: Doubles
I never have but am considering it. Seems like it would be much easier changing shells when Geese are coming in with a double.
|
RE: Doubles
well i don't own the o/u i shot but it sure was nice, i'd love to have it in my duck bl;ind every time im out there but instead i got my new benelli nova 3 1/2 inch 28in. barrel in max 4. its my new baby:):D
