Rapier,

That sounds like one heck of a station you have there. Definitely not for the beginner shooter.

Chapster,

I think an extra full would dust about any rabbit because they are usually thrown at a decently close range. I cannot remember the last time I used an extra full choke to shoot clays. Ah, it just came to me. It was at a sporting clays tournament where they had a side game set up. They were throwing three pairs of minis straight out over water and they were descending toward the water as they were going out. When I came up to the station and paid my $5, the guy was telling me about how 5 guys had already shot 5 out of 6, so I would be included in the shootoff if I broke 5. I proceeded to shoot and broke all 6, to which I heard him say "Interesting." I turned around and asked him what happens with the shootout if I break all 6? He laughed and said there wasn't one anymore and that I was the only one to shoot 6. That stayed that way all day. My buddy and I shot a 48 out of 50 on a flurry game with me dropping the two, and we had to sit through tons and tons of people trying to break more. I would have felt bad if we lost since I dropped both targets. Ended up getting second place in the tournament because my first lost bird came before the winners. They didn't like me at this tournament, but we all had a great time.

Okay, that ended up going off on a tangent, but it was such a good memory that I decided to relive it by typing it. My apologies.
