  1. alright I'll definately try that out. Thanks for all the helpful info splash. I'll definately have to hit you up one weekend because it's like we are wasting our money in cisco
  2. im not saying ill be shooting at that long range all the time, but i wouldn't mind it every now and then.
  3. no, im saying, we were out there for 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours at night, and we maybe saw 10 each time. Maybe im exaggerating the 10 but i would say no more than 15 in 3 hours. That was like 1 bird here, 2 birds there, you know what im saying. We used to hunt near amarillo texas, and would see flocks of them. We would easily max out in about 1-2 hours (roughly) of being out there. I am definately gonna take your advice and start going to the range to do some skeet shooting. Thanks again
  4. haha, well im not a big hunter so whatever he said i pretty much believed. But the take down of the bird was still about 75 to 80 yards. Either way it was far, and now I want something similar for distance. We hunt in cisco, texas, and the birds out there are not flying (probably because of the extreme heat) so we have to catch them from far away, or go home empty handed. Thanks to whoever that was saying about the choke. I asked my dad just now and he said the same thing. I thought that maybe the 20ga just shot further then the 12ga (i dont know why) but looks like i'll be getting a cordoba then. Thanks everyone
  5. hey, im sorry for not specifying. Yardage wise, i'd say about 75 to 80 yards. Yesterday at the lease, it was like the 1100 I was using just wasn't putting the shots out there. I know it's not a slug, but it still should have took some birds down. I kept trying to adjust my lead and see where I could shoot to take down the birds, but it was like at about 40 to 50 yards I couldn't take anything down. I missed some birds,that looked long gone, at about 75 to 80 yards, and I was like " I guess there's no way of reaching them", then I look over to my left and my uncle takes them down, 2 shots and both fall. He was using a Yielders (not sure if thats the correct name or spelling) 20 ga. and earlier I asked him how in the world he took those down, he said, " You're looking at a 1000 ft. 20 ga." That true? I want something comparable.
  6. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what a better long range shotgun would be? I currently shoot a remington 1100 and I want something for long distance. My uncle shoots a 20 gauge (not sure what kind) and that thing shoots alot further than mine. Is there a benelli shotgun that shoots long distance that I could use for dove hunting? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
