I like the red dot and the ability to see it when the shot is taken, in relation to where the bandit is--could help with miss diagnosis. Also, the slo-mo is really good--hit, crow snow (or pigeon snow), and then slow spiral or somersaults to the earth. Very fine!.
Our season begins on 1 AUG.
Thanks!

I really wish the crows would come over in singles and doubles here! We in NH would kill so many more!
Typically they come over anywhere from a dozen to 50 in a group all at once at least where I go and based on past experience. Oh we have crows all right.
Once in a very rare shoot the entire horizon seemed to be nothing but crows-it was unbelievable. My partner then and I got 5 but look at this again: we didn't miss but there had to be close to a thousand crows. A very rare sighting in that particular area. Thing to note is that fall we had a severe snowy winter too, interestingly enough. This was about 15 years ago or so....if my ever failing memory can be relied upon for exact time period...that days' take was about 21-no more than that. But we saw so many!
Now had they came over in singles and doubles we NH boys state wide who shoot at them would be reporting potential 500 day crow shoots at least in the initial migration and the days of the 1970s' with the old Connecticutt valley crow shoots...about those folks who get a hundred crows on their opening day in October? Well here again had the crows came down in singles and doubles the Double Trouble gun stylists would in the east here would nail probably 500 opening day shoots however that wouldn't be the case every time as the numbers peel off for their winter roosts. Would never be like the central USA at all where shoots like that are weekly what ever. But all the same you know what I am saying.
Now if I could get singles in my "new" area I'd get 50-60 each time out-not a mere twenty! (Until the ground freezes over that is)
Red I liked the guy being interviewed in your second post. He was straight forward and was serious about his sport. I just sent one of my DVD's on crow hunting to a fella in Scotland. The shipping charge for a thin little DVD was $ 13.50 and it takes two weeks for it to arrive at his town in Scotland.
