Of course you didn't mention that the pile of empty hulls was bigger than the pile of doves  |

Yeah, but most of the empty hulls were 12ga not shot by me 
We added up shots fired vs doves taken and it came out to about 3:1 |

3:1 ratio shells to doves is good shooting. I know some report they kill a dove every time they pull the trigger, but the circumstances, or the doves, must be different from what I've experienced. |
