First off.......never hunted over corn chops......don't have to.

ha ha ha.....we usually have 10-15 people when hunting.........they can't cut it.........period..... :lol:

I really don't see this as a matter of "trust"........I was damn near broke at this time last summer with no job and had to save money where ever possible........and federal allowed me to do that.......their bad.... :lol:

And the thing about the simmons sale last year.......the over-the-counter "rebate" wasn't the real rebate.........it was simmons knocking $30 off each case and calling it federal's rebate...... :roll:

The only you can get a manufacturer's rebate is to mail-in for it.......you can't get it at the store from what I understand. Federal saw where Simmons knocked off $30 on my cases.......that was the discount just for the tent sale.......didn't have anything to do with the real rebate. So they sent me some more money. If Simmons had permission from the Federal Rebate Dept to give it over the counter........do you actually think they'd give it to me again in the mail? :wink:

and since they were stupid enough to let it happen.....why not take advantage of it.........I was damn near broke at this time last summer with no job and had to save money where ever possible........and federal allowed me to do that.......their bad


I hope you're just kidding with the above statement. That's nothing more than blatant dishonesty.

Doesn't matter to me which way anyone takes that statement....I got the rebate after an in-store discount on the shells, so what?

If the shells were actually rebated at the store.........don't you think that Mack's would be doing that with all the winchester shells they sell.....instead they make you send in the rebate so they can make almost double on shipping.... :roll:

Nope Ramsey........not gonna do it.........Simmons screwed up the order with false advertising on their sales ad........they'll be picking up the tab on that shipping unless I can get someone to buy them from me.

Well you may be able to shoot good but if you knew how to duck hunt good you wouldn't have to shoot them 3 1/2" little dyanmite sticks to kill a duck. :lol:

I'll tell you what else type of false advertising they had and labeled it as a "mis-print"... They had in the paper Remington Heavy Dove loads 3 1/4 and 1 1/8... on the display was 3 and 1 1/8. There is a difference in those loads. I used to reload hundreds of them in the summer and shoot different loads to try. IMO, the 3 1/4 and 1 1/8 are the best dove loads made.

I'm tempted to take GH22 up on his offer of limiting out before anyone else..... it's all in the name son... DEADEYE!

deadeye huh??? :lol:

You can't handle me either........ :lol:

Another screw up I caught on the ad was the Remington Sportsman steel shot shells........had the 3's and 3.5's listed with 1 3/8 and 1 9/16 oz loads......too bad they aren't........have same loads as the win experts. :roll:

Federal Classic is listed in the ad.........but it's the lighter load Federal Premium's that they are selling...... :lol:

I bet you if I really got to looking really hard at that ad there's no telling whatelse I could find wrong. :lol:

I use imp cyl when ducks are in close.........mod when they get out farther and become decoy shy.


geeze...how do you change chokes so fast in the blind? :wink:

your a pure T pass shooter and you know it!!! :shock:

& that sends me on a T-Eye-Raid


Everyone one is bitching and moaning about birds being decoy shy and hard to hunt...blaming robo, refuges, etc. etc...

Just go on and blame it on PASS SHOOTERS and their freakin' 3.5 inch magnums taking shots that wouldn't have been taken...educating birds that wouldn't have been schooled otherwise...that's just like shooting the BIG groups of ducks and geese IMO.

Guys don't pick on GH22 too hard, I think he's worried that Russian Howitzer "Bagal" he's got might not cycle the light 1&3/8 oz loads :wink:

By the way, GH22...wanna go dove huntin' with me some time? Maybe we can stir up a decent field, I'll sit right by you if you want so you'll have an eye witness as to who limits out first :lol:

Hey.......I can take it...........just keep bringing it...........ain't bothering me not one bit.

There's one thing I don't do is skybust..........I use the 3.5's to put ducks on the water and keep'em there. :lol:

I've got my Beretta coming in next week so I won't be using that duck gun during dove season. :lol:
