A simple poll to help us understand our target audience. We're revamping the Gear on 16ga.com next spring and this will aid in the decision making. Thanks for your time.
-Doug
Amended): I changed the Poll question from 'mostly' to 'best'. I'm looking for a category you'd most likely buy gear for.
Most States consider doves as upland. |

I hope everyone starts using their 16 Gauge shotguns for other things besides upland birds. |

60% upland, 35% clays, and a bit of waterfowl now and then. |

How about just a "Small Game" category?
I've been shooting rabbits (as well as grouse, pheasant, woodcock, quail, etc.) with my 16Ga Lefever for almost 35 years. A pot of rabbit stew on a cold winter day feeds both the body and soul. |

Primarily Waterfowl, Dove and Quail, probably in that order depending on Dove opportunities year to year. |

Steve Voss;
I feel the same way, but the survey would only let me choose one or the other.
ps; the Sauer 16 Gauge is slowly coming along.

I amended the poll question and the added to the choices. What I'm looking for is bird hunters vs waterfowl vs clay shooters, as all require different gear.
Thanks, -Doug |
