    Woots, I am going to the great state of Texas in a couple of weeks to shoot at the bird of peace. Can't wait, great gentlemen to shoot and hang out with. So, I got to looking for ammo, as I have not dove hunted in 20 years.... :-D

    I figure I might hit about 20%. So, I need some shells. Academy Sports has Winchester 12 ga #8 for $4.99 for a box of 25.

    Seems to be a good price to me, and if you have a shotgun, this might be good range food for the gun.

    For home defense, Federal has released the Flite Control #1 buckshot... I have only found it for sale to law enforcement only. But some folks are finding it. Good stuff.

    This dude tested it: http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot56.htm


    Did I mention I love guns?

    ;)

    You don't say? I never would have thought, it's not like you talk about it or anything. :p:-D

    Have fun! Even though I can't approve of you shooting doves. Now if you said you were going to shoot pigeons, I wouldn't mind at all. :-D

    err.... same family, different species

    From the World Book Dictionary,

    pigeon: any one of a group of birds with a plump body, short tail and short legs...There are numerous species, making up a family of birds. The smaller kinds are usually called doves.

    dove: a bird with a thick body, short legs, and a beak enlarged at the tip. It is a small kind of pigeon that is not domesticated.

    just because you've never been crapped on by dove doesn't make them any less tasty:yumrolleyes

    I don't want to taste either :-D

    See, White doves are pretty and symbols of love & peace, where as pigeons are nasty and disease infested creatures. I never heard a dove being called a disgusting creature or a flying rat like I have about pigeons! lol

    Okay, therefore he can shoot about 80% of humanity, (including me...LOL)...Sounds like a plan!...;)

    No bird is ugly, after it's been batter dipped and deep fried.

    @Rikky... I bet Fred already has a modded fully automatic version of that salt gun just to use for his fries :-D

    No, fully auto guns are too expensive. I have found basic sanitation takes care of most of the flies. ;):-D

    Meh. It's only $4k + $200 for a Saiga-12. Of course you have to explain the need for one, but after that it's full-auto all the way.

    Let me clarify, the ammo would be expensive, if I were shooting full auto. :-D

    I like that Russian dude. Those would be a lot of fun, but geez, the cost of the ammo....

    Have nice day. :-D
