I think you're just not accustomed to the thing we call hunting anon. Sometimes maybe you need to pick your shots better or you just flat out suck. Learn to recognize.

Well, I appreciate the input.

I think I'm just going to buy a few boxes of 5 or 6 shot and just not shoot when they're incredibly close instead of not being able to drop them at 30-50 yards.

Learn how to shoot moving targets by going to a local trap and skeet club.

I've gone once and I did do at least round 25 straight. Although, I used to do about a box of Walmart clays a weekend nearly every weekend a few years ago. So to sharpen my question, why does what is labeled and recommended for a particular species feel completely under powered, incapable, and inhumane to take that game?

Have you considered changing chokes?

No, but I'm buying a salvo 12 because I watched a certain movie one too many times. Or else that would probably be huge help.

I was really hoping it would be done with ATF jail before dove season, so I wouldn't be dealing with this ringing in my ears right now.

So I suppose I'll do a real thorough job of "patterning" it with the suppressor so I know exactly where my pellets are going instead of trial and error like I've been for the last 8 years.
(Half-assed practice yields half-assed improvements)

Well I'm off to bed, going to do some more hunting in the morning. Really trying to get the most out of the season.

Try increasing your weight of fire by building an elaborate system to fire multiple guns at the same time!

No seriously. Practice. Shoot skeet/trap. Make sure you lead your targets and follow-through. Since they're doves you can use smaller shot. Try 8s or 10 or even smaller, smaller shot = more shot volume. Also try changing your choke. Went pheasant hunting one time and couldnt hit shit, turns out i forgot i had my full choke in, so try your modified or improved choke. Also getting a dog will help a lot getting your downed birds. 5 and 6 shot are a little too big for dove.. that size is more for pheasant or grouse or maybe prarie chicken. Also if you're sitting just hold your horses and wait for them to get in real close. Shooting a bird thats moving away is alwayd a better shot because you'll hit their vitals rather than shooting through their breasts, which are what you eat. Also.. c'mon man wtf are you thinking hunting with a supressor? Kinda silly

What choke are you shooting?

You probably shouldn't be shooting any choke at 50 yds with 7 1/2's Go up to fives or sixes or stick to closer shots. What particular brand and label of shells are you useing? I like Winchester AA dove loads or any 1 1/8 high brass max dram field load.

Sorry, I was out at the bar. I'm home now waiting until my buddy shows up. I was/am using the cheapest shells I could find. So I'm wondering if I can stop having to shoot birds 2 or 3 times if I just bought more expensive shells, and if so which ones.

>>31211539
you missed my question completely. why would I drop to smaller shot if ultimately I'm sick of birds I'm hitting flying away to die a day or two later? I suppose my tone isn't justified because clearly I can't articulate shit well enough to be understood.
