Its not the shells. Ive shot lots of limits with the Wally world promo loads. If you can get to a sporting clays range and shoot some high incoming and crossing birds it will greatly improve your shooting. Thats about the only presentation that is similar to dove hunting. Ive seen alot of good skeet and trap shooters get a reality check in the dove field. Dove dont fly the same path at the same speed every time.
Our shooting was slow Saturday. I doubled on the first two birds right after I got into the field. I figured it would be an hour or so hunt. Wrong. It took the rest of the afternoon to scratch out a 15 bird limit. We had hundreds of birds prior to hurricane Irene, I doubt there were a hundred in the field Saturday. Hopefully this week will be better.
