Fiocchi Golden Pheasant #5 at 1250 FPS

Rotate between Franchi Affinity and Beretta BL-3 O/U.

I have an Affinity 12 ga. and I shoot with the IC choke now and will go to Modified toward the end of the season. I love the gun! It is well balanced, light and has a raised rib and I can immediately get a line on the bird. It is easy to clean and shoots anything through it. I highly...

I have 3 pairs of Irish Setter boots and love them. I don't have the Havoc but have worn them and will be my next boots.

Cross eye dominance I have used the EasyHit FrontSight (http://www.easyhit.com/page3/page3.html) for a number of years pheasant hunting as I am also left eye dominant but shoot right handed. It used to be called the Champion brand EasyHit Shotgun Sight that Tom Knapp endorsed. I have had...

I opted for the Franchi Affinity after looking hard at the A300 to replace my Beretta A302 ( I also own other Berettas). I use mine for pheasant hunting and love it and don't regret buying it for a minute. I feel it is better balanced than the A300 and the raised rib just seems to bring my...

Affinity owner I was the same as you and opted for the Affinity after looking hard at the A300 and others to replace my Beretta A302. I use mine for pheasant hunting and love it and don't regret buying it for a minute. I feel it is better balanced than the A300 and the raised rib just seems...

I hunt that WMA often and think I saw that bird. Congratulations!!

It was nice meeting you also Dakotazeb. May have to hunt together in our old stomping grounds of SW MN someday.

So sorry for your loss Tim. I hunt public land all the time with my dog and cannot imagine the pain you and your family are going through. Hopefully, your story will force changes so this doesn't happen to any more pets! I found this online that I thought i would share...

I am considering getting a Weatherby SA-08 12 gauge for pheasant hunting and am looking for feedback if anyone owns/owned one. Everything I find on the Net appears to be positive and it has an excellent price point. Thanks.

I was referring to the distance in regards to the intensity of what she is chasing after. My particular dog is a flusher and will chase a bird as far as it takes her. If she is getting too far out and doesn't respond to the lower nick, then a stronger nick is needed to get her attention to...

I have a Tritronics Flyway Special with similar features. I usually have the setting between 3 and 4 depending on the distance from my dog, the tightness of the collar, the intensity of what she is chasing after and the terrain for her to react to it. I guess it depends on those criteria for...

I use deerskin gloves as they seem to stay/feel softer than other leathers and have nice grip to the gun. I primarily use an unlined pair but also have a pair of lined that work great.

I have noticed that also. When a hen flushes and I don't shoot, I don't get that same stink eye from her as when I miss the rooster she kicks up!!
